Form one of the worlds most respected aftermarket air filter manufacturers comes the Typhoon air intake system for the Gen 1 MINI Cooper S. Great craftsmanship, clean design, and of course the high quality KN conical filter make this a great upgrade from the restrictive stock air box. Features a custom polished aluminum outfeed tube to the throttle body and a replacement infeed tube from the grill vent as well as vertical panel to help seal off the air around the filter (shown to the left of the filter). Overall this is one of the better performing intakes on the market and is engineered well. It also has the trademark red KN filter element which is backed by one of the best warranties in the industry and is endlessly cleanable so you can keep it performing at its best.

I had one of these on my personal car for about 1 year and was very pleased with it overall. It sounded good, improved overall responsiveness and of course made the supercharger whine a fair amount because of the increase in air flow. This intake typically performs at the top of the list with the Alta and Helix intakes. Out of all the intakes on the market it looks like it does the most, for what its worth. Must be the extra inlet tube....

Fits these MINI models:

02-06 Cooper S Hatchback *
04-08 Cooper S Convertible *

Does NOT fit the Automatic transmission cars...because the outfeed hose to the throttle body on the automatics is different...
