Expensive bit of plastic pipe, not 100% sure it will make any noticeable difference to performance.

I think your money would be better spent on a K&N MPI air filter element to go in the original housing. That should release1 or 2 more BHP

I suppose they are trying to cash in even more with people buying the s works kit and offer this on the side to make it as close to a " genuine " mpi s works, the s works kit is overpriced as it is imo but this is just rediculous

Putting the words 'cooper s' or 's works' is a license to print money. 'An idiot and his money are easily parted'

Not familiar with this piece of bling, what is it likely to do then? The only reason I could suggest for it making the car faster is the reduction in weight............of your wallet!
Anyone got access to a 3D printer? You could make a fortune.

They have applied this rediculous pricing strategy to the whole " Cooper " range, sheer greed....

I think your money would be better spent on a K&N MPI air filter element to go in the original housing. That should release1 or 2 more BHP


Did this, worked well. Wasn't mega bucks. No change in induction noise noticed.

Great news, the other advantage is superior filtration and can be washed and re-oiled when needed - last forever
