Product Details
For the F5X generation, MINI stepped into a new era by equipping all models with BMW’s turbocharged B38 and B48 engines. More boost means more excitement—but you’d never know with the factory airbox in place. The stock intake keeps things quiet, dulled, and choked off, muting the turbo sounds and holding back the engaging character these engines are capable of delivering.
The ECS Luft-Technik Performance Intake System is designed to maximize efficiency, airflow, and induction sound, enhancing your driving experience while completely transforming your engine bay. This intake unlocks an unparalleled auditory experience by eliminating restrictive factory components, thereby freeing up the induction soundtrack for an exhilarating experience. Let your engine breathe!
At the heart of this system is a durable aluminum intake tube, finished in high-quality wrinkle black powdercoat for a premium finish. This intake pipe is 80mm in diameter, ensuring the induction tract is free of restriction and maximizing airflow. A proprietary, ECS-branded bracket is used to secure this pipe to the strut tower, providing a clean mounting solution with minimal movement or flex. To enhance induction noise, this intake system includes a conical air filter that features oiled media for optimal airflow.
