Thanks for watching

@@tweedbean Always.

Thanks for watching and the great feedback.

Straight up, where tf is the end result at man

Thanks I use Orranje performance a lot

Hi thanks for watching, glad it was useful. As for the AEM intake its expensive but does a great job and love how it turns the scoop into something functional. Only issues people see is fitting the heat shield above the turbo that comes with the aem, this traps a lot of heat and can lead to melting the front corner of the rocker cover, note this also can happen without the heatshield with the car in stock form, this just seems to speed up the process so many people dont fit the AEM heatshield and instead fit a proper turbo jacket.

@@tweedbean Thanks for getting back so quick. Forge turbo blanket already fitted! I don't know why, it just seems like the AEM and the DDM Works "Ram Air" intakes would act as a funnel and dump water into the airbox on a rainy day. Awesome to hear you have no issues.

If you live in a particularly wet climate you can also purchase from AEM a waterproof cover for the filter which is also breathable, something like this maybe, www.aemintakes.com/1-4007-air-filter-wrap

Not seen them before

Hi thanks for watching, I got it from ebay: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mini-Cooper-S-R56-R60-Noise-Generator-Delete-Silicone-Hose-Pipe-Blue-Red/153442202842?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

Thanks that video is already live, see here Mini 2nd Gen How to fit an Intercooler Pipe Resonator Delete R56 R55 Cooper S JCW N14 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sNOAhKppmL6Vhok.html

I honestly dont know the answer to this and wouldn’t want to give you bad advice

@@tweedbean Thanks! 👊🏻

@@tweedbean The answer is no. I capped it off and the car runs great. My silicone pipe is on the way. Love the real car sounds, no more kazoo. Thanks for the step by steps. I'm getting much more confident working under the hood.

@@precool How did you cap it off? I am looking to do the same thing to my R57

Currently there isnt an off the shelf solution for blocking the hole into the cab

Anything changed on this in the past 2 years? I can sometimes smell engine smells in the cabin which I think comes through this​@@tweedbean

@@bhavs857 not seen anything but I bet it wouldnt be hard to tape up or throw together something to block it

@@tweedbean thanks... I'm not good with ideas for this so wanted to know if anyone's actually made something 😂

COOL

@@AhmedAli-vy6up The new hose connects to the throttle body at the rear of the engine bay and is specifically designed to fit the Mini Cooper 1.6 Turbo. The standard hose can be restrictive and more so with earlier models that contained a noise generator. Installed on the cold side, this free flowing hose improves turbo response throughout the rev range. The re-enforced silicone structure will withstand greater temperatures and pressures than the original hose and is ideal for tuned engines.

Sorry I’ve never worked on an n18 so wouldn’t want to give you a wrong answer

The n18 doesnt have the noise maker

@@eduardopadilla8532 yes it does

Sorry I cant remember off the top of my head, I'm sure my hose came with them. If you measure the hose when it arrives, and go a little bigger. I dont own the car anymore so cant go and measure it for you.

Nothing noticeable noise wise

@@tweedbean Hi, so what is the main purpose for this modification, please?

Yes you can apparently use the cigarette lighter cap for the hole or any random rubber bung if you feel so way inclined

@@tweedbean how would a rubber band or lighter cap work, its a rectangle hole. Where the red tape is on the body that the noise hose clips in.

I’m must be thing BRZ/gt86 then

@@tweedbean this is a mini cooper. You can see it around the 5:20 mark in your video

Agreed I haven’t seen anyone block this, I didn’t have an issue of any smells etc coming in. There isn’t anything off the shelf, you would have to make something yourself to block it if required

Both valid options, some people prefer DIY, some people like an off the shelf solution, plus who doesn’t like new silicone hoses ;)

@@tweedbean - Yea, you are right !!! I leave everything alone, but I live in a 9+ bedroom house !!! LMFAO

What do you use to plug the hole?

@@gbear8207 - Pause @ 5:31 where he points the screwdriver. Put a CAP on it and you are all set. I use a cap from a plastic bottle (Drink) and it fits over nicely. To make sure it doesn't pop out, I use Electrical Tape and stretch it as I tape. Putting an extra round is a must !!! *NOTE:* Another way and I have done it many times. Most plastic bottles CAN be used as shrink tubes. Find one that fits right over it and then get a heat gun and carefully heat it. It will shrink like a shrink tube.

Thanks for watching they are listed on eBay 👍🏼

Great!!! Thank you so much!!

Thanks for watching it deletes the noise maker which is a pipe that basically pumps engine sound into the cabin.

@@tweedbean so is there any benefits of not having sound pumped into the cabin?

Completely different engine. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_DLD_engine#DLD-416 so very much doubt this would fit

You could but why leave pipes in there that you don’t require any more. All they are at that point is additional clutter in the engine bay and extra weight(yes I know it’s not significant)

@@tweedbean Can it be blocked at the cabin outlet end? I simply cannot be assed faffing around in the engine bay with my big ape hands..

Big ape hands.... funny. I dont have big hands, but these little cars don't leave much room for any hands to begin with. The more empty volume you remove from the intake, the more stable air pressure (or negative pressure) will be. I think more air space would be more area to cause delay with throttle response and air draw due to more surface area drawn in by vacuum. Just my guess. :)

@@mlarsen77 Ahhh.. Without giving myself a brain strain I like your theory..

@@CathodeRayNipplez I'm with you. If it has notable positive impact, I'm game. If it does nothing but remove sound from cabin..... it will continue sending sound to the cabin. :)

Not at all

I left it open, it may be a good idea to block it up, I didnt think of that at the time, good point

@@tweedbean what do you think would block it well?

Tyler Goelz there isn’t an off the shelf solution, maybe cut a piece of plastic to the right shape and use adhesive to stick over the hole left into the cabin. Or a tiny bit of expanding foam. Not too much as you don’t want to make a mess inside/outside the cabin

@@tweedbean I figured.. I'll work on a custom solution. If you end up doing it yourself would love to see the DIY video 😁

For me yes, I like a bit of colour on the engine bay, you may not feel a noticeable difference but it all adds up.

@@tweedbean and how about the actual noise? Did you notice any difference inside the car?

Honestly there was some difference, was it noticeable, probably not

The whole point is it removes the sound being pumped into the cabin, it removes sound not adds it

@@tweedbean ahh! I see. Thank you.

@@tweedbeanhow much sound does it remove is it noticeable? As I want the yellow hose

The stock pipe is restrictive and also stops you losing any of that flow purely for pumping noise into the cabin.

Hi thanks for watching, the title of the video is how to fit the pipe, it wasn’t meant to be a review, it’s an instructional fitting video. I can tell you it made no difference to the noise of my car and is it worth it, I’m not 100% convinced other than it looks nicer
