    I have a 2010 clubman s I want to modify to increase hp and speed. I am thinking about bout putting the K&N Gen2 Typhoon Cold Air Intake on her. But I had someone tell me that just getting a high flow drop in k&n air filter. Which one would work the best or is the extra 230$ really worth it?

    For performance, it is hard to beat the stock S intake. Aftermarket cold air intakes add noise but not horsepower.

    Use a high flow drop in filter or a JCW air filter set up for best results.

    I got an ECS CF CAI , yes I paid way too much. But it's the same as having the JCW box and air filter but it looks so bad A$$ .

    I had the K&N but it added nothing but sound and heat.

    JCW cone filter if need be, otherwise drop in panel filter will net same results
