Wild or Mild -- How do want your MINI to sound?
Hello, NAM!
We released our Noise Baffle for the Defenders of Speed R55, R56, & R57 Turbo / 'S' CAI a few weeks ago and we've made some brisk sales. The inspiration for this little marvel can be summarized in two words: significant others.
As many of you know, our CAI system has delivered on the hp gains that we promise, but it also has a signature sound that makes for one very mean sounding 'S'. However, not everyone necessarily wants to hear the sound offered by an open, cowl fed CAI, so we went and looked for where we were missing out on potential customers -- those that like our CAI, but would like a more subdued audio experience, either for themselves or for an increased Significant Other Acceptance Factor (SOAF for short).
Thanks to some great customer feedback, and a few months of experimentation, we created a simple, easy-to-install noise baffle that gives our CAI system some manners during everyday driving, no drawbacks in performance, & very high SOAF.
You can learn more about our CAI's and noise baffles via the links below:

Our first testimonial . . .
Just got this email a few minutes ago from a customer in UT.

Clint,
I threw that baffle on there and wow you did a great job on it. I honestly had gotten so used to the noise, that when I drove it with the baffle on I was like "WOW" my car is quiet! Well as quiet as it can be with all of my mods of course. Thanks . . .

A Second Testimonial. . . Whoa!
Just got this today from a customer in FL. The "Iron Breath" comment cracks me up.

Hey Clint,
What's up? I received the noise baffle last week and installed it that day...really easy install. Your product works just as described...maybe too good. I find myself missing the iron breath from the intake. Haha.
I just wanted to thank you!
