Improve your MINI Cooper's throttle response, horsepower, torque and drivability with the Alta Performance™ Intake System.

The Alta Performance™ intake system pulls cold air from the factory air ram duct in the front grille and through the vent below the windshield. This is the only aftermarket intake system that is fed a constant supply of cool fresh air.

AIR FLOW

The stock air intake system
The stock air intake draws air in through the scoop in the the front grille. The air is passed into the lower portion of the air box where it is pulled through the air filter and into the throttle body. Once in the supercharger the air is compressed through the intercooler and into the motor. The weakest point in the system is the inefficient air ducting which takes many unnecessary turns and has a corrugated finish which disrupts air flow.

Alta Performance™ cold air intake system
The new system pulls cold air from the air ram duct in the grille and through the vent below the windshield. The box is sealed to the underside of the hood and prevents under hood heat from entering the intake air stream. The filter encapsulated in a fresh air bath. Reducing inlet air temperatures will create a cooler, denser air charge raising HP, and torque.

AIR BOX
The new Alta Performance™ air box is formed from cold rolled steel. Laser cut and CNC bent to perfection. Power coated silver for protection and an O.E.M. look. The new air box top will fit perfectly into the bottom of your factory air box. The box will be sealed to the underside of the hood and prevent under hood heat from entering the intake stream. 

FOAM FILTER
Our high flow foam filter reduces intake restriction and increases the surface area from which the engine can ingest clean air. Unlike cotton and gauze type filters, foam filters allow for multi layer filtration. The ALTA Performance™ foam based filter will trap dirt within the filter at many different levels. This allows for better particulate restriction and will not reduce HP as the filter gets dirty. The lifetime foam filter never needs replacing. It is easily cleaned when dirty and can be re-oiled usiing UNI Foam Filter Spray Oil (sold separately.)

INLET HOSE
Finally the rubber inlet hose connecting the air box to the throttle body is also replaced. The factory part is corrugated and ribbed on the inside. Turbulence is created and air flow velocity is reduced, compromising throttle response and upper end HP. Our silicone hose is mirror smooth promoting a high velocity air charge. This silicone piece is available in high gloss blue, red and black to dress up the engine bay.

Inlet Hose is BLUE Silicone
