I am selling my DOS CAI, modified bulkhead, and inlet cover. I took it off my MCS before selling it. This is the best true CAI for R56 through R59s.

From DOS's web site:

The R55, R56, R57, R58, & R59 MINI Cooper S (MCS) and MINI John Cooper Works (JCW) and have a major bottleneck to air induction due to the restrictive factory airbox.

The Defenders of Speed Cold Air Intake (CAI) is specifically designed for the new, turbocharged MCS and Factory JCW models to maximize air induction and is a first step in maximizing combustion while aiding in reduction of inlet temperatures.

Our system pulls air from the factory air hose as well as the large, isolated, empty void behind the bulkhead panel between the brake master cylinder and the battery via a completely enclosed filter system.

The area where the hood meets the windshield is a high pressure zone at speed. This high pressure zone dumps cool air into the low pressure area behind the MINI's bulkhead panel through the factory air inlet vents at the hoodline via cowl induction*. (*A principle re-discovered and touted by GM in 1963 and used successfully to this day on race and street vehicles). Thus, with the DoS R55, R56, R57, R58, & R59 CAI system, a constant cool intake air supply is available to the intake.

Kit Includes: CAI unit, Rubber Bulb Gasket Material for Inlet Hole, CAI Hose Clamps, Silicone Couplers, and Complete Instructions.

With the CAI you also get the modified bulkhead so you can leave yours intact and the inlet cover if you want stealth noise levels.

$310 shipped to your door if you are in the lower 48.

Interested, sending PM now

 

Curious, why sell it?

It's one of the top two intakes available.

 

I agree, the very best CAI for our minis. I sold the car recently (actually traded the mini in connection with picking up a new car) and removed all the upgrades and mods before doing so.

 

He sold his car

 

. . . and now this DOS CAI kit is SOLD . . . .
