Pipercross Airmax PK454 Induction System - The cold air intake kit for the MINI F56.

Pipercross Airmax Air intake kit for MINI F56

After extensive product testing Pipercross have released their cold air intake kit for the MINI F56. The premium air intake filtration system increases airflow by up to 85.37% when compared to the stock airbox. The results show that each element of their Airmax induction system aids airflow by removing restrictions leading to an increase in horsepower from the B48 engine whether all elements are used together as a full system or individually.

The kit comprises of three parts:

The Carbon Fibre Airmax replacement airbox lid. Not only does it look great in your engine bay but it increases the post-filter interior volume and has a built-in MAF sensor with reduced flow interference.
The Pipercross Plus premium panel filter. The filter uses a custom multilayer filtration foam with a unique stainless steel framework to keep the panel structure intact without compromising air flow or filtration. This has proven to increase effective airflow by 22.1% over commonly used mesh-backed frames.
The large diameter high flow resonator-delete pipe. 6mm larger in diameter than stock and with the restrictive resonator removed, the powder-coated aluminium pipe provides a resistance-free chamber for your filtered air to pass through.

Also worth noting is the ancillary silicone hose that comes with the airbox and links it to the pipe. The stock convoluted pipe causes turbulent airflow whereas the replacement silicone pipe has a smooth internal bore and flow-matched transitions to maximise power gains further.

Fitment is essential to the functionality of this product which is why Pipercross used 3d scanning and CAD technology during the design phase of these products to ensure precise and accurate fitment to the OEM mounting points.

Each element can be used in isolation and each element provides power gains alone however the full kit is more than the sum of its parts working together to offer maximum benefit. In testing here at Lohen the full system with a stock engine provided an increase of 8WHP and an increase a Stage 1 mapped engine saw an increase of 16whp.

Powerflex Front Anti Roll Bar Bush Set – Installed by Lohen on Mini Cooper S R56

I recently had the Powerflex Front Anti Roll Bar Bush Set installed on my Mini Cooper S R56, and the results have been outstanding. A huge thanks to the team at Lohen for not only a flawless install but also for delivering some of the best customer service I've experienced.

From the moment I arrived, the Lohen staff were friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. They took the time to explain the upgrade process and made sure I understood the benefits before beginning the work. The workshop was immaculate and well-organized, further reinforcing the confidence I already had in their expertise.

The impact of the Powerflex bush set was immediate. The front end now feels far more planted, especially when cornering or driving enthusiastically. There's noticeably reduced body roll and a much tighter, more controlled feel through turns. Ride comfort hasn’t been compromised either—just a more composed, confident drive all around.

Powerflex bushes help other parts work better by reducing flex and warping compared to standard rubber bushes. For the front anti-roll bar, these upgraded bushes make it perform at its best. They greatly reduce unwanted flex and improve handling. This leads to a more direct and responsive steering feel, especially in fast bends and under load.

If you're looking to enhance the handling of your R56 while keeping it road-friendly, the Powerflex Front Anti Roll Bar Bush Set is a no-brainer. And for peace of mind and top-tier service, Lohen is the go-to place. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Powerflex Front Wishbone Rear Bushes – Installed by Lohen on Mini Cooper S R56

I recently had the Powerflex Front Wishbone Rear Bushes put on my Mini Cooper S R56. I am very impressed, not only with the product but also with the great service from the team at Lohen.

From the moment I arrived at Lohen’s facility, the customer service was excellent. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. They took the time to explain the upgrade process and what to expect from the installation. Their attention to detail and professionalism made me feel confident in their work.

As for the performance—what a change! The car's handling is now much sharper and more responsive. There is more stability when cornering, especially at high speeds. The steering feedback feels more direct. Even with the stiffer setup, the ride quality is still good. In fact, it feels better on rough roads.

If you are thinking about a suspension upgrade for your R56, I highly recommend the Powerflex bushings. If you want it done right, Lohen is the place to go. They offer top-quality parts, expert installation, and excellent customer care.
