Designed to lower intake temperatures and increase airflow, this intake delivers more horsepower and torque while giving your MINI a deep, aggressive sound and improved throttle response. Ideal for performance enthusiasts seeking reliable gains and durable construction.
Lower Intake Temperatures: Sealed air box design prevents heat soak, delivering cooler, denser air for better combustion.
Durable Construction: Laser-cut, CNC-bent aluminum air box finished in a textured red powdercoat for long-term protection and a clean appearance.
High-Flow Foam Filter: Oiled polyurethane foam provides superior multi-layer filtration with minimal airflow restriction.
Washable & Reusable Filter: Open-cell foam traps dirt efficiently, extending filter life without reducing performance.
Enhanced Sound Profile: Deep intake tone with noticeable supercharger whine—audible with both stock and aftermarket systems.
