2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Mini Cooper S Gains Horsepower with AEM Cold Air Intake System
- Mar 11, 2014
The Mini Cooper is a legendary piece of automotive history. Originally designed as a practical car for the British people, it really made its mark in racing. The Cooper was the car of choice for many rally and road racers across decades and the awards tell the tale. It was voted the Second Most Influential Car of the Century, and helped to give front-wheel drive vehicles and the transversely-mounted front engine legitimacy in the automotive industry. Over 50 years later the Mini Cooper is still one of the most popular hatchbacks on the market, combining classic British design elements with precision German engineering. Now, owners of 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 1.6 liter Mini Cooper S models without a Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor can get an increase in horsepower and performance with the AEM Induction Systems 21-719C cold air intake system. The AEM 21-719C cold air intake system is precision-tuned with a myriad of features to greatly improve the performance of your Mini Cooper S without sacrificing essential engine protection. The mandrel-bent aluminum air intake tube is designed to reduce restriction and air intake temperatures and is powdercoated metallic grey for a sleek and durable finish. A heat shield is incorporated to help keep heat coming off of the turbo from heating the air entering the engine. This system makes use of the factory air inlet, and also turns the Mini’s cosmetic hood scoop into a functional hood scoop to direct even more cool outside air onto the air filter. 21-719C comes with AEM’s 21-2027D-HK conical air filter with AEM’s Dryflow air filter media for high air flow rates and oil-free performance. The filter is washable and reusable and can even go for up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. All of these features come together to deliver impressive gains on the dyno. The AEM 21-719C cold air intake produced an estimated gain of 14 horsepower at 5400rpm and 11 pound-feet of torque at 3300rpm to the wheels. The 21-719C cold air intake is easy to install and comes with step-by-step instructions. It maintains all necessary factory connections and does not require any additional modifications be made to the vehicle in order to fit and function properly. If the superior design and horsepower gains weren’t enough, the 21-719C Performance Air Intake is backed by AEM’s Lifetime Limited Warranty, offering owners the confidence that their air intake is a made to last, exciting upgrade.
