Description
The Mishimoto MMAI-MIN-14WRD is a wrinkle red cold air intake built specifically for turbocharged Mini Cooper models, pairing a 3in aluminum intake pipe with a high-flow oiled filter to deliver an aggressive turbo and induction tone every time you get on the throttle. A black powder-coated heatshield doubles as a clean focal point under the hood while blocking unwanted heat from reaching the filter, and the whole system bolts in as a direct fit with no cutting or trimming required.
Designed to maximize airflow into the turbo while remaining safe to run on the stock tune, this air intake system routes cool air through the stock fresh air duct for a denser, more efficient air charge. The Mishimoto High-Flow Oiled Air Filter (MMAF-3005S) uses a multi-layered cotton filter media with a built-in velocity stack for crisper throttle response, while the CNC-machined MAF housing on the aluminum intake pipe keeps sensor placement precise. Whether you’re comparing cold air intakes, air intake filters, or a full air intake upgrade for your Mini, this kit is engineered as a performance-grade replacement for the restrictive factory setup.
