K&N has finally made a cold air intake kit for your Turbo MINI Cooper S R55, R56, or R57. This intake uses their traditional Large K&N air filter with an open metal airbox. But unlike most other intakes this comes with high quality silicone hoses, and a hard pipe running all the way to the Turbo to improve airflow.
Built for performance and show, the 69 Series Typhoon™ Air Intake System is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube induction system designed to fit many sport compact performance vehicles. Typhoon intakes come in one of three designs; cold air intakes (CA), short ram intakes (SR), or complete cold air (CCA) intakes which can be configured as either a cold air intake or a short ram intake. Some Typhoon's have high quality finish options including polished aluminum, powder coated red, and powder coated silver among others. K&N intake systems replace your vehicle's restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing. K&N intakes are designed to dramatically reduce intake restriction resulting in additional power and torque. All of them come with a Million Mile Limited Warranty and are guaranteed to increase horsepower. Some Typhoon Air Intakes are not legal for use in California and other states adopting California emission standards while others are CARB exempt and 50 state legal. Check the K&N catalog or website vehicle parts search for specific CARB status.
K&N claims 11.7 hp gain, but here at WMW honestly I don't believe that. Buy it for the sound and airflow improvement, not the "claimed" HP.
