Forge Motorsport Intercooler Resonator Delete Hose for 2007 onwards BMW Mini Cooper S
The Forge Motorsport Intercooler Resonator Delete Hose is specifically designed to fit the 2007 onwards BMW Mini Cooper S. This high-quality hose replaces the two OEM hoses and the sound resonator, offering improved performance and a sleek appearance.
The OEM resonator is responsible for reducing the noise associated with air passing through the pipe work. By replacing it with a smooth bore hose, the resistance is reduced, resulting in improved torque characteristics. Our own testing has shown a significant improvement of between 10 and 15 ft/lbs on our test car.
While some competitors claim horsepower gains with the installation of this hose, we prefer not to make such claims as our testing has shown marginal results. However, when combined with other modifications such as tuned software, a free-flowing downpipe, and exhaust, the impact on performance can be more dramatic.
From a driver’s perspective, the installation of this hose alone may not result in a noticeable increase in noise. However, there is a clear improvement in the engine’s willingness to accelerate, which can be attributed to the torque improvement and slight horsepower gain.
In addition to the performance benefits, this hose is available in red, blue, or black, allowing for a stealthy installation. It is also designed to withstand higher temperatures and pressures compared to the original hose.
The Forge silicone hoses included in this kit feature a modified silicone inner liner known as Fluorosilicone. This makes them compatible with modern long-life coolants, Organic Acid Technology coolants (O.A.T.), and air containing oil mist. The construction of these hoses exceeds OEM fitments, enhancing both the technical and aesthetic aspects of your engine bay.
With a Fluorosilicone liner, Forge silicone hoses are the clear market leader. They come with a lifetime warranty, ensuring your peace of mind.
Fitting of this part is available at our performance workshop at Progressive Parts. Contact us for more information or to schedule an appointment.
