Ram Pipe closed is usually the best. Open just sucks in hot air from the engine bay.

don t get HKS, aside front their exhaust or BOV, i would never buy their intake, they rob you of power!
on most cars i have seen tho.

what other intakes are out there for the 08 cooper

GTT Cold Ram Induction Kit on MCS offers about 5 BHP as tested on the rollers by cooper_sport a couple of years ago.
