JCW cold air intake

Which one do you guys recommend...alta, m7 ????

Which one actually works really well ?

Is it worth changing my JCW airbox ?

I have a 2013 JCW.

Thanks for your input.

Personally you'll get more bang for your buck if you drop in an aFe dry filter and JB+ instead of a fancy intake.

In my experience changing the stock airbox does little to actually add HP, but does give you that nice whoooosh sound. You will lose that low-end torque though. devicemanager is correct, the JB+ is your best bang for your buck that will actually add hp and torque!

If you want your Mini to be the best Mini that it can be engine-wise then take a holistic approach. Open up the breathing (in and out) and THEN get a tune... a real tune. The Dread Pirate will waste any JB+ Mini out there because I've taken the time and spent the money to do it right. Take your time, learn and do it right.
