FORGE silicone intercooler resonator delete hose for Mini

Description

This silicone intercooler resonator delete hose is made for the BMW Mini Cooper S from 2007 onwards. It replaces the two original hoses and the resonator. The original resonator reduces the roar and whoosh of air passing through the pipework. Replacing it with this smooth bore hose reduces flow resistance.

In the manufacturer's testing, the horsepower gain was only marginal. However, torque rose by 10 to 15 ft/lbs on the test car. Results depend on the car's other modifications and are greater with tuned software, a free flowing downpipe and exhaust. With only this hose fitted, noise did not increase, but the engine accelerated more willingly.

The hose withstands higher temperatures and pressures than the original. The fluorosilicone inner liner allows use with modern long-life coolants, Organic Acid Technology (OAT) coolants and air containing oil mist.
