$25.00 and a pipe left over from my Accord.

Isn't that a hot air intake? I think that will slow you down, rather than speed you up (hot air is less dense). Might sound OK, though...

BTW....welcome and lets see some more pics of that car!

Sounds great and feels like it makes a difference. Plan on making some kind of heat shield for it.

Great job on the install. What is the total cost out of pocket?

Clean install man! That probably sounds pretty damn good, and I've read that the intake on the S is actually pretty restrictive and a cone type intake can increase power more than would be expected :buttrock

But yeah... no teasing man. You can't just post ONE picture... we need at least 50 :confused: :D

btw: welcome to bimmerforums! Stick around... our MINI forum is going to be awesome real soon :buttrock

Sweet! I wonder if they'd sell him just the heatshield though :dunno

Too bad they don't make one with a heatshield for the MC :(

:cashwalle That is nice but big bucks for just the intake. I hope to have someone fabricate a carbon fiber heat shield and new pipe.

Snappermini, you can't beat the price you paid. I think the next least expensive option is around $1xx from BMP Design, right?

I would suggest buying the BMP Design heat shield.
