DDMWorks Announces R56 Street Intake
DDMWorks is proud to release the R56 Street Intake. During testing we discovered that the stock intake on the R56 MINI goes into vacuum during hard acceleration choking off the engine and restricting maximum power. The goal of the street intake was to open up the intake and allow the engine to take in as much air as possible, increasing power, providing better throttle response and faster turbo spool. The Street intake was designed to be a two stage system, as a standalone intake or working with our Ram Air Scoop which feeds high pressure ambient air to the filter, further increasing throttle response and power from the engine. The UNI Foam filter that is included with the intake allows the sound of the turbo spooling up and the blow off noise of the bypass valve to be heard during shifting. A K&N filter is also offered, allowing more sound to be heard during shifts. Both filters work equally well, but now with a choice, the sound of the intake can be tailored to the tastes of the driver. The intake kit consists of a unique bracket that locks into the bottom of the stock intake creating a pocket to hold a high flow filter. The filter is then connected to the air flow meter using a silicone connector secured with stainless steel hose clamps. All other hardware on the intake is also stainless steel. Complete installation can be done quickly and without any modifications to the car and can also be completely returned to stock just as quick. The intake is offered in DDMWorks Stainless Steel or black matte powder coat. Custom colors and finishes available upon request.

The DDMWorks Ram Air Scoop (RAS)
A nice upgrade for the Street intake is the Ram Air Scoop. The shape of the DDMWorks
RAS was designed to accelerate the incoming air from the hood scoop and keep feeding cold air into the turbo and engine. Two air diverters on the back of the
RAS direct the incoming air down and wash the filter on the street intake with a cool ambient air supply. By attaching the
RAS to the bonnet, regular maintenance of your MINI is completely unaffected with the intake installed. Things like spark plugs, oil filter and oil fill are just as accessible as stock. The
RAS attaches to the bonnet using existing mounting points, requiring no drilling or modifications for installation. Testing showed that open filters without the
RAS in place see good temperatures during light cruise, but during long pulls the temperature of the incoming air continued to climb as the turbo heated the air coming in through the hood scoop. With the simple addition of the
RAS on those intakes, temperatures stayed only a few degrees above ambient, which resulted in better throttle response and more consistent power. All hardware included with the
RAS is stainless steel. No modifications of the vehicle are required for installation. The
RAS is offered in DDMWorks Stainless steel, or black matte powder coat. Custom colors available upon request.
Special pricing on the Street Intake Stage 2 which includes the intake and the RAS is $375
