Sorry, which piece are you referring to as the air duct tubing? The stock tubing was removed, and the only thing reused was the bottom of the filter housing and the MAF sensor holder. ruclips.net/video/-nUGblRX99o/видео.htmlsi=GY_-wjcqM_pTAlof&t=100
Helpful video. Just picked up my mini and love this little thing. Your video's will be usefu, thanks! Btw I think you're a few blocks away from me haha
Have any idea what filter comes on this intake kit? I have this exact same kit on my clubman and need to replace the filter but can’t find any info anywhere.
Hello Nick, I can't find the filter model on the K&N website. The filter model is typically stamped on the top or inside of the filter. I'd suggest checking there first. Thanks.
Do you recommend unplugging the battery? Most of the other videos recommend disconnecting the negative terminal of the battery but I didn’t see you do it. Excited to install mine!
I must have forgotten to mention it. It's always good practice to disconnect the negative battery terminal whenever working on electrical components like unplugging the map/maf sensor. You can get away without doing it though.
I didn't have an issue with rain with this intake. Typically it's not an issue unless it's a cold air intake that is submerged underwater. Thanks for the question
I got it from Amazon. The "cool" noise is probably from Alta BOV and Torque Solutions adapter. ruclips.net/video/zwNQ3HEl8Gg/видео.html Auto Meter 4303 Ultra-Lite Mechanical Boost/Vacuum Gauge amzn.to/3eOxcWG ALTA AMP-INT-211 Boost Port Adapter (R56) amzn.to/2Y7gGvn
You may be able to remove the filter by loosening the clamp, and feeding it through the enclosure. If that doesn't work then you'll need to remove the enclosure. I sold the car, and didn't have a chance to clean the filter when I had it.
@@ColinLeung yeah I loosened the clamp but the filter is to big to just take out of the enclosure, so i guess ill just need to take the whole enclosure off.. thanks for the info tho!
@@maxmccarthy2983 Cheapest would probably be keeping up with basic tune up. Replace the air filter with a higher flowing one, spark plugs, oil change, transmission fluid flush, coolant, etc. You can do better brake pads and rotors, lighter rims and performance tires, springs or coilovers, headers and exhaust, but they can be on the more expensive side.
Hello Roy, I had a mini cooper S, which was a manual transmission turbo charged version of the non S. The paddle shifters are only on automatics. Thanks.
@@roymilla6636 If the exhaust is in the middle of your rear bumper then it should be an S. If the exhaust is to the side then it would be a non-S. Thanks for the question!
I gave a thumbs down because i feel you should have got out of the residential neighborhood at some point before you recorded us a clip. Just my personal opinion. My 4 year old nephew was killed because of someone driving through places where they shouldn't be playing in their vehicles. Im glad nothing happened but the video literally made me feel like i couldn't breathe. Sorry.
I appreciate the feedback, and I'm sorry for the loss of your nephew. I'll admit that I should have filmed out of a residential neighborhood for the safety of those in the neighborhood and comfort of those watching. It was my intent to demonstrate the sound of the intake, which typically involves more sprinted throttling. I do not believe I ever exceeded the residential speed limit from the footage of the speedometer, and the camera angle and engine noise may have contributed to the car seeming faster than it actually was going. I have made a more conscious effort to drive slower in general as I have aged, and will be more mindful in where I record in the future. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

Having this very cool to drive (but very painful to maintain) vehicle, I wish I was a mechanic :)
@Malcolm Bryan lol, nice scam
Thanks for the tutorial. I hear the blowoff valve. Did you do anything with that, or is it after the CAI install? Sounds nice.

Thanks for the comment Leandro!
Question: When you installed this K&N Typhoon CAI did you remove the air duct tubing ? If not, did it affect the air inflow?

Haha. Sorry for the late reply. You're welcome. I moved out of Daly City last year down the peninsula

With this intake do you have to worry about rain water going in through the hood scoop and into the intake?
I didn't have an issue with rain with this intake. Typically it's not an issue unless it's a cold air intake that is submerged underwater. Thanks for the question
Where did you get that boost gauge and why does it sound so cool?
I got it from Amazon. The "cool" noise is probably from Alta BOV and Torque Solutions adapter.

Whats the best way to get the air filter out for cleaning? Since its to big to take out of the cage..

@@Dimiaa You're welcome. Good luck!
I cant find an intake for my mini one d r56, pls someone help am i being stupid?
I did a quick search and couldn't find any either...
@@ColinLeung Ah right can you suggest any cheap performance mods for it ?

@@ColinLeung Yeh changed the air filter to a k&n one the other day ill do the others too cheers
Is your mini has sport mode, I don't see a paddle shift on your steering wheel, mine is non S but has it
Hello Roy, I had a mini cooper S, which was a manual transmission turbo charged version of the non S. The paddle shifters are only on automatics. Thanks.
Oh OK I don't really know anything about mini/cars I just learning the basic thing about it
@@roymilla6636 It's okay. The mini's are fun cars, but are known to require a lot of maintenance. I hope you enjoy your car!
Mine is the non S but I have this paddle shift and sport mode, is this means it's a mini S? I bought this car already on there
@@roymilla6636 If the exhaust is in the middle of your rear bumper then it should be an S. If the exhaust is to the side then it would be a non-S. Thanks for the question!
did you already have a blowoff valve upgrade before the cai install?
I think so. It's been a while since I owned the car.
@@ColinLeung Yes, this is not the stock sound :)
Can this be installed on a non S mini cooper r56?
Based on the pictures I'm seeing on google the airboxes are not in the same location, so I don't think it'll work.
Do you have to keep the OEM lower intake tube? (That one flexible tube under the ECU wires and beside the coolant tank?)
Sorry, I do not remember what it served. I left it in for a reason.
