ALTA Intake Tube - Mini Cooper S (R53)
ALTA Performance builds its reputation on smart, simple upgrades that fix the compromises found in factory engineering, and the ALTA Intake Tube is a good example. It replaces the factory ribbed hose between the air box and throttle body on your Mini Cooper S with a smooth silicone tube, cutting turbulence and helping air move more freely into the engine.
This listing covers the Mini Cooper S (R53) fitted with the 6 speed manual gearbox. The smooth bore design replaces the OEM corrugated section for a straighter, less restrictive path from the air box to the throttle body.
Note: This tube is designed specifically for R53 models with the 6 speed manual transmission. Please confirm your gearbox configuration before ordering.
Key Features
- Smooth bore silicone construction, replacing the factory ribbed hose
- Reduces internal turbulence between air box and throttle body
- Increases air velocity for improved throttle response
- Direct fit for R53 6 speed manual models
Vehicle compatibility, OEM part numbers, and fitment notes are provided in the tabs above. Please confirm your Mini's model year and transmission type before ordering.
