is this any good? Anyone tried it?

Saw one new for £155... Is this expensive or cheap.

Worth the money? Any alternative?

Cheers

Sleepy dont know what its like on the Cooper but I have one on my S and love it. Got mine from FasterFilters (http://www.fasterfilters.co.uk) - website is cr*p but email them and they will give a price. They also sell on ebay - but will sell slightly cheaper direct. When I got mine they were over 100 quid cheaper than anyone else for the S version.

Mart - did the typhoon make any diff to your S before you did the MTB Mod?

Not convinced it made any major difference performance wise - but it sure sounded nice :D

Reply from them re products for the MCS:

We can supply a few K&N products for your BMW Mini Cooper S:

Air Filter Element - £38.80 including p&p. Part Number: 33-2270

You can purchase any of these items on our website.

Delivery is normally 2 – 5 working days.

The Air Filter is the basic upgrade and produces gains in acceleration, throttle response and overall bhp.
The 57i Induction Kit is the “stage 1” upgrade kit which replaces the airbox and pipework with an adaptor and Filtercharger, produces gains of around 4-6hp.
The Typhoon System is the best kit available, which sounds and looks excellent and produces gains of around 7-9hp. Contains a cold air chamber and X-Stream Filtercharger.

Sorry, but i don't believe the claims for BHP increase, BBR, Hartge, GGR and even the mighty John Cooper Works do not replace the induction kit, all, as far as i can tell replace the element only, circa £35

But on the other hand, if it's the sound you're looking for :cool:
