Description:
The M7 MINI Cooper S Cold Air Intake works by sealing a dual stage foam filter inside of a fully enclosed custom manufactured metal housing. The steel box closes off any path for engine heat from getting to the filter, and provides the highest resistance to heat transfer when compared to other intakes on the market.
their dual stage high flow foam filter can be cleaned and re-oiled providing a lifetime of service on your MINI. The over-sized filter gives plenty of filtering capacity without sacrificing airflow on the supercharged Cooper S. The filter attaches to stock intake piping via a velocity stack at the wall of the M7 CAI with a 3" diameter on the filter side to a 2.75" diameter on the engine side. The velocity stack will smoothen out the large amount of air entering the intake tract, improving air flow which results in a more efficient intake system.
The M7 intake provides the enclosed filter with pressurized, cold air from the cowl area beneath the windshield without requiring you to cut any of your factory parts. This allows your car to be returned completely to stock if needed. With simple hand tools, the intake can quickly be installed on your car allowing you more time to enjoy the ride!
INCLUDES: Matte black powder coated Cold Air Intake box, installation hardware and a pre-oiled filter.

Q: What's the difference between a cold air intake and a short ram intake?
A: Cold air intakes are usually placed in the fender well area, which brings in a cooler charged air from beneath the car (outside of the engine bay), which is denser and therefore creates more power. The piping is a lot longer than a short ram which means the power gains are not seen until the mid to higher RPM band. A short ram intake is located inside the engine bay and creates power with better response times than a cold air, however the air is not as dense, which means that it doesn't make as much power in the upper RPM region and makes less power overall.
Q: Do you have to buy an air filter if you're buying a cold air intake?
A: Cold air intakes are usually sold with all the components needed including the filter and all adapters.
Q: How do you install a cold air intake?
A: Cold air intakes are a true bolt-on application. The removal of your factory air box and resonator will be needed and the cold air intake installed in its place. Basic hand tools are needed, and the intake installs in minutes.
Q: Are cold air intakes offered for every vehicle?
A: Cold air intakes are not offered for every vehicle and are vehicle specific. There are no universal kits available on the market.
Q: What do cold air intakes do? Why buy a cold air intake?
A: Cold air intakes bring more air into the engine, which creates more power during combustion. Cold air intakes will generally help with throttle response and higher power gains, adding a pleasing induction sound to your engine under acceleration. A cold air intake also significantly cleans up your under-hood appearance and makes it easier to see and access components of your engine bay.
