Alta Cold Air Intake: 2002-2006 R53 MINI Cooper S (manual)

The ALTA Performance Cold Air Intake system for the 2002–2006 R53 Mini Cooper S manual offers performance at an affordable price. The custom airbox seals to the hood and prevents under-hood heat from entering the intake airstream, reducing inlet air temperatures and creating a cooler, denser air charge raising HP and torque. A unique high-flow filter reduces intake restriction and increases the surface area to ingest more clean air over factory setups. The open cell foam prevents dust and dirt from being sucked into the intake tract causing problems and extending vehicle life. Each air intake gets manufactured from laser-cut aluminum and CNC bent to perfection, guaranteeing a seamless fit and quick installation.

Features:

• Formed from laser-cut aluminum sheet metal
• High-flow foam filter reduces intake restriction and increases the surface area from which the engine can ingest clean air
• The foam Filter traps dirt within layers to ensure a smooth ride
