I am 15 years old currently turning 16 tomorrow and I have a 2007 Mini Cooper (Non-S). I was wondering if anybody knew of a Cold Air Intake mod for it and if i can get a link from anybody. If you could write back to me that will be great! Thanks!
If you search for CAI on the forums, you'll find a lot of posts and threads about the different brands. The five that are most talked about would be the
aFe
DDM
K&M
ProMini
Alta
For my 1st Gen, im going with the aFe. You have a 2nd Gen. Look on the 2nd Gen boards and see what is best for you!
Oh and congrats on your new Mini! I wish that that was my first car! I surly had been dreaming about my mini since i was 14 or so. It just took me till now (19) to get it!
If you're talking about the 2nd gen Cooper non-S, there's no CAI out for it yet. DDM and VIP Customs are in the process of making them. VIP Customs will have theirs out in literally 2-3 weeks. Not sure about DDM(they're still in testing phase).
Just a heads up the MC with a open cone filter is gonna be LOUD. I don't know if the systems mentioned above are gonna be sealed or enclosed but an open cone gives off a nice growl. Here's a clip of mine.

wait a min... so all you did was add a cone filter and it sounds that cool. i dont believe it. no exhaust mod? if this is true then i am doing it asap.
Yes I have 2.5" piping from the downpipe to the stock muffler without the second cat or resonator.Still the intake sound is much deeper than the exhaust tone.Here's the interior sound.

Shoot I was really interested in this clip but each time i played it i kept gravitating to listening to the Clash song in the background.

Is there any noticeable difference between having the system enclosed or cone open on a CAI like the K&N Apollo. I currently have that on my Mini but enclosed.
Just did my 1st and 2nd sound test on my CAI on my 09 MC Non S turned out good going to do a road test later on with it.
