Part #NM.658857
This is used - it works and sounds amazing. I decided to go with AEM as it works with my scoop intake and cross brace combo. In terms of performance.... I think the NM might be better. It certainly sounds better.
This kit fits US & Canada MCS with N18 engine (2011-March 2012) as well as older model with N14 engine (2007~2012). I used it on a 2012 JCW N14.
From NME website:
The 'Open-Air-Box' system gives you the abundance and unrestricted 360° of air source compared to OEM's sealed air box with flat filter and tube fed air source. During R&D, we installed temperature probes around the engine compartment and the gauge showed the inside temperature matched the ambient after vehicle speed past 20 mph. And by logging the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor also showed that open-air-box intake generated higher volume (gr/sec) of air going through the sensor. So when we had to choose between (a) cooler air at all speed with limited air source, vs. (b) cooler air at 20~ mph. with unlimited air source, the choice was pretty obvious.
