Just like you, your MINI craves fresh air. The ALTA Performance™Intake System is the only after-market alternative that provides asteady supply of cool fresh air thanks to a perfect seal, smooth siliconinlet hose (available in red, blue and black) and ALTA know-how.Crafted from cold-rolled steel, the air box is finished to achieve anoriginal equipment look and feel. Finish it off with the new Box Top(part #AMP-INT-250), sold separately.

The ALTA Performance™ intake system pulls cold air from the factory airram duct in the front grille and through the vent below the windshield.The isolated filter is bathed in cool fresh air and never exposed tothe warm air under the hood. This is the only aftermarket intake systemthat is fed a constant supply of cool fresh air.

AIR FLOW
The stock air intake system
The stock air intake draws air in through the scoop in the frontgrille. The air is passed into the lower portion of the air box whereit is pulled through the air filter and into the throttle body. Once inthe supercharger the air is compressed through the intercooler and intothe motor.
 The weakest point in the system is the inefficient air ducting,which takes many, unnecessary turns and has a corrugated finish, whichdisrupts airflow.

Alta Performance™ cold air intake system
The Alta intake system pulls cold air from the air ram duct in thegrille and through the vent below the windshield. The box is sealed tothe hood and prevents under hood heat from entering the intake airstream. The filter encapsulated in a fresh air bath. Reducing inlet airtemperatures will create a cooler, denser air charge raising HP, andtorque.

AIR BOX
The  new Alta Performance™ air box is formed from cold rolledsteel. Laser cut and CNC bent to perfection.  Power coated silverfor protection and an O.E.M. look.  The new air box top will fitperfectly into the bottom of your factory air box. The box will besealed to  the underside of the hood and prevent under hoodheat  from entering the intake stream.

FOAM FILTER
Our high flow foam filter reduces intake restriction and increases  thesurface area from which the engine can ingest clean  air. Unlike cottonand gauze type filters, foam filters allow for multi layer filtration.The ALTA Performance™ foam based filter will trap dirt within thefilter at many different levels. This allows for better particulaterestriction and will not reduce HP as the filter gets dirty.
