Here is the description from the NM website...

Now available, NM Intake system for the new 2011 MINI Cooper S with N18 engine for the US model.

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.

Also included pre-oiled and cleanable filter. Please click here for more info on the cleaning kit.

MINI did a great job on 2011 model MCS in improving the turbo intake tube by replacing the soft rubber tubing with a full size and rigid ABS plastic one, similar to NM's aluminum/silicone version that we offer for the 20072010 MCS & JCW vehicles. So we decided to leave the inlet tube out and price out the kit to be more economical.

C.A.R.B. Exempt! EO# D-236-15

This kit fits US & Canada MCS with N18 engine (201112) as well as older model with N14 engine (20072010).

Notes:

Due to ECU change, we came up with a different bracket that holds the fresh air inlet pipe. Please see bellow for production breakdown.
