PERFORMANCE AIR INTAKE INTAKE FOR 2000-2006 Mini Cooper S 1.6 1.6L Supercharged R53 w/Manual Transmission Engine (BLACK)

It’s definitely an el cheapo part but. It fits. Will probably toss the original filter when it comes time to clean it and put a k&n on or a specter one. Otherwise. Wasn’t bad to put it. The boot for the intake was small also didn’t help being 20 degrees so I heated it up with the girlfriends hair dryer and away it went

Fairly easy instal, directions weren’t the best.

This product is amazing for the price I would highly recommend this air intake if your looking for something cheap,with this air intake the super charger whine is so much more profound than before 10/10

I don't know how to use the bracket but I got it to work on my 04 R53 supercharged mini cooper

Only major complaint about this is that the breather tube fitting for the valve cover is improperly placed. It's off by a few inches to line up with the mounting on the engine. Also take note that the breather tube that comes with the kit is too short to run through the factory mounts and the mounting bracket that comes with the kit will leave you searching for a spot to bolt down. I didn't install the mount. But nonetheless, the intake fits snug with some twisting into position for the stock breather tube. It sounds great, gives a little whistle when going up in revs, and the supercharger is noticeably louder when going wide open throttle.

I would say it's time for a new air filter! Swapped it with a cold air intake off of Amazon for $60! It's a Hella difference!!! It breaths so much better and you can really hear that super charger wine now!

Doesn't fit and is broken on arrival

Did what it was supposed to do. I do wish the filter end of the tubing was a minimum of 3 inches longer.
