Like the others have said we have not run into any issues with fitment - no rattling/buzzing

I got my Helix intercooler last month, I haven't installed it yet. I'm waiting to get all the parts together for driving lights, that way, I'll only have to take the front of the car off once.

Anyway, I have the intercooler hanging on the wall of my garage. I was looking at it today and thought, "That polished aluminum thing is beautiful!"

Maybe I should get another one to put in the car, so I can continue to enjoy that shiny thing on the wall!

Dave

Sorry about the dirty car, we've been driving for a few hundred miles before this was taken. But IAT's were rock steady and low during those miles.

Thanks man. Yup, the wife and I took a small break away from the daily grind and drove around wine country. We even saw some FOG-ers one morning, although that was in Fort Baker.

Hey Folks we'd like to wrap this up soon so we will be closing the group buy Friday July 8th.

If you're still on the fence (and sweating in the heat ) nows the time to join since the $599 price will be effective if we can just get at least 3 more people to put our list at 10

Alright, after thinking about it for 24 hours I'm in ... So we only need 2 more people to hit the magic number "10" and save $150 on the intercooler. IMHO ing we get a break on shipping as well, :::hint,hint:::

Let's hit the boards and our fellow MC owners and get this deal done. The money we save can go towards more mods.

For $599 this thing is unbeatable! Every time I look at my car it makes me smile to see it hiding behind the grill. Car's power band is much more smooth and it pulls so much stronger now, even after running the car for a while (and it is hot as **** here).

if you guys get to 9, you guys may as well get together and buy the 10th one and put it up in the marketplace or something. buying 10 is cheaper than buying 9 (9 x $700 = $6300 and 10 x $600 = $6000).

Newbie question. My CountryMan S finally arrived to the distribution center. (2 more weeks to San Francisco) Does this mod void the Mini Warranty?
Thank you

Thank you
seems like anything can void your warranty if a dealership wants it to. so unfortunately the answer is, it depends on your service advisor and your dealership. people have argued that something like a fmic can't legally void your warranty, but i bet it'd be a long battle when it comes down to it.
