K&N Mini Cooper Performance Air Intake

DESCRIPTION

This K&N Typhoon air intake system is a free-flowing, mandrel-bent aluminum tube air induction system designed to fit the 1st Generation Mini Cooper. The restrictive factory air filter and air intake housing are replaced by the K&N Typhoon air intake which is designed to dramatically reduce air flow restriction as it smooths and straightens air flow. This allows your engine to inhale a larger amount of air than the factory air intake. More air means more usable power and acceleration throughout the engine's RPM range.

Fits NON-S models (no supercharger) of the 1st generation Mini Cooper 1.6L: 2002-2006 R50 hatchback and 2005-2008 R52 convertible.

CARB legal: EO Number D-269-37

Comes with a K&N high-flow conical air filter. The intake tube has an attractive red powder-coat finish that's made to last and it accommodates a replacement silicone crank case vent hose. The oversized cone shaped air filter can be used for up to 100,000 miles before servicing is needed depending on driving conditions. This air intake is relatively easy to install usually in 90 minutes or less using existing factory mounting points requiring commonly available tools to do the job.
