Classic Mini Restoration Episode 51 - Fitting The HIF44 MED Stub Stack System

Classic Mini Restoration Episode 51 - Fitting The HIF44 MED Stub Stack System
/ smugwood
In this episode I fix the fuel pipe that's leaking and fit the HIF44 MED Stub Stack System to the SU carb. So far this seems like an improvement over the previous filters I fitted and all thats left to do now is get the car tuned up.
Thanks for watching and a special thank you to my Patrons David Shrive, Charles France, Ryan Davies, and all of my other Patrons.

Love the content, may well be fitting one of these in the future! Nice work here

Thanks. I definitely prefer it over the pancake and standard filter. Its not as noisy as the pancake but its not quiet like the standard box...but it makes adjusting things a lot easier. Plus I guess my engine has been built for performance so its probably a good idea not to stick the standard box back on :-)

Wrap the exhaust downpipe for safety

Will that fit my metro engine 1275

Will the MED stub stack fit inside the K&N cone filter if you wish to stick with it? Thanks. Enjoyed the video.
