ALTA 2002–2006 Mini Cooper S/JCW & 2002–2008 S/JCW Convertible R53 (6spd ONLY) Silicone Inlet Tube - Black
The ALTA Silicone Inlet Tube in Black is a high-performance upgrade for supercharged R53 MINI Cooper 6-speed manual models, replacing the restrictive OEM rubber hose with a larger diameter, smoother silicone design for improved airflow and throttle response. Engineered to connect the air box directly to the throttle body, this tube promotes high-velocity air charge delivery to the supercharger, reducing turbulence and enhancing power output. Crafted from premium multi-layer reinforced silicone with a black finish for heat resistance and durability, it's a simple bolt-on modification that complements ALTA cold air intakes, delivering noticeable gains in acceleration and supercharger efficiency for track or street enthusiasts.
Key Features
- Larger Inside Diameter: Increases airflow velocity for better supercharger feed and power gains.
- Multi-Layer Reinforced Silicone: Heat-resistant up to 350°F with flexible, durable construction.
