Hi-Flow intake system with the BLUE intake snorkel for the US Model Turbocharged Cooper S models with the N18 engine. Unlike some competitors, this Premium intake features an integrated larger turbo inlet tube. CNC mandrel bent aluminum pipe, stainless brackets and silicone couplings that are all designed, engineered and manufactured to fit and perform.

This Induction Kit is CARB APPROVED! Product includes CARB exemption decal necessary to pass the visual inspection portion of the California Emissions test.

Fits the following Cooper S models with the N18 Engine:

2011-03/2012 R56 MINI Cooper S Hardtop
2011-03/2012 R55 MINI Cooper S Clubman
2011-03/2012 R57 MINI Cooper S Convertibles
2011-03/2012 R60 MINI Cooper S Countryman
2011-03/2012 R58 MINI Cooper S Coupe
2011-03/2012 R59 MINI Cooper S Roadster

For US Models with Mass Air Flow sensor (MAF).

The 'Open-Air-Box' system gives you the abundance and unrestricted 360° of air source compared to OEM's sealed air box with flat filter and tube fed air source. During R&D, we installed temperature probes around the engine compartment and the gauge showed the inside temperature matched the ambient after vehicle speed past 20 mph. And by logging the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor also showed that open-air-box intake generated higher volume (gr/sec) of air going through the sensor. So when we had to choose between (a) cooler air at all speed with limited air source, vs. (b) cooler air at 20~ mph. with unlimited air source, the choice was pretty obvious.

For 2011 and newer models, see G2NME2112.

Note: The height of this induction kit is the same height as the stock Cooper S Airbox. If your strut bar clears the stock airbox, it will clear this Induction system!

Hi-Flow Induction System from NM Engineering with the CARBON FIBER Intake Snorkel (Inlet Tube) and a Paper Filter.  This intake upgrade provides higher air flow into the engine which is the first step towards increased power and greater engine efficiency.  This kit uses the Paper filter for those that prefer the disposable paper filter over the re-usable oiled filter that requires periodic cleaning.  Same performance and price as the oiled filber.

The Open Air Box System gives you an unrestricted 360° of air intake, compared to the OEM sealed air box which has a flat filter and a tube fed air source.

During Research and Development, we installed multiple temperature probes around the engine compartment and what we found was the inside temperature matched the ambient temperature after the vehicle surpassed 20 mph.

The Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor also showed that the Open Air Box Intake generated a higher volume of incoming air.

The end result being Increased Horsepower and Increased Fuel Efficiency.

Note: The height of this induction kit is the same height as the OEM Cooper S Airbox. If your strut bar clears the stock airbox, it will clear this Induction system!
