aFe Rapid Induction Cold Air Intake - MINI Cooper S (R56/R57/R58/R59) / Clubman S (R55) / Countryman S (R60) / Paceman S (R61) - 1.6L Turbo
The aFe Rapid Induction cold air intake suits the N18 1.6L turbo MINI Cooper S: Countryman (R60), Paceman (R61), hatch (R56), Convertible (R57), Coupe (R58), Roadster (R59) and Clubman (R55). A powder-coated one-piece heat shield snaps onto the top of the lower half of the factory airbox and uses the factory mounting points, and a clear-coated aluminium cover finishes the top for a neat engine bay.
A one-piece 2.75-inch mandrel-bent aluminium tube in wrinkle-black powder coat carries air to the turbo from an 8-inch tall Pro DRY S filter. aFe says the system flows 49% more than the factory intake, and aFe's dyno testing shows up to +13 kW (+18 hp) and +27 Nm.
Options: Supplied with a Pro DRY S filter: dry, oil-free three-layer synthetic media that you wash and refit without oiling.
Note: Suits 2011-2016 Cooper S models with the N18 1.6L turbo: Countryman (R60), Paceman (R61), hatch (R56), Convertible (R57), Coupe (R58), Roadster (R59) and Clubman (R55). Not for John Cooper Works or earlier N14-engined cars. Installation by a professional is recommended.
