ALTA 2007–2012 Mini Cooper S/JCW & 2009–2012 Convertible S/JCW & 2009–2012 Clubman S/JCW Cold Air Intake - Red
The ALTA Cold Air Intake System in Red is a dyno-proven performance upgrade for turbocharged R56 MINI Cooper models, delivering up to 10 WHP and 10 ft-lbs of torque while unlocking the exhilarating turbo spool sound. Featuring a heat-resistant red aluminum air box that draws cold air from the front fender, a high-flow open-cell foam filter for superior filtration and airflow, and a custom silicone elbow for seamless integration, this system replaces the restrictive stock intake for improved throttle response and efficiency. Engineered for bolt-on simplicity, it's the perfect enhancement for enthusiasts seeking more power and auditory thrill without ECU tuning.
