Description
The Mishimoto MMAI-MIN-14WBK is a purpose-built cold air intake system engineered specifically for the turbocharged Mini Cooper S and John Cooper Works platforms. Finished in a wrinkle black powder-coated aluminum pipe, this air intake pairs a 3-inch aluminum intake pipe with a high-flow, oiled cotton air filter to bring out aggressive turbo and induction sounds while still remaining safe to run on the stock ECU tune. It’s a direct-fit air intake system, meaning no cutting, trimming, or fabrication is required to get it installed.
As a dedicated cold air intake filter solution, this system maximizes airflow to the turbo by utilizing the stock fresh air duct, channeling cool, dense air directly into the Mishimoto High-Flow Oiled Air Filter for improved throttle response. The filter itself features a built-in velocity stack for crisper throttle feel, while the black powder-coated heatshield blocks unwanted underhood heat from soaking into the intake filter, protecting air charge density. The aluminum intake pipe includes a CNC-machined MAF housing for a precise, factory-style sensor fit, and the whole air intake system was designed in Delaware, USA, with the filter made in the USA.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto cold air intake is engineered to fit the Mini Cooper S from 2014 through 2019, including the 2014 Mini Cooper S Chili. It’s also compatible with the Mini Cooper John Cooper Works from 2015 through 2018, as well as the 2017 Mini Cooper John Cooper Works Hot Chili. These applications share the F55/F56 chassis codes and the B48A20M0 engine code, and the intake functions with the stock intake duct on these platforms without modification.
