AEM Cold Air Intake 21-719C for 2007-2010 Mini Cooper S 1.6L models without a mass air sensor

The Mini Cooper is a legendary piece of automotive history. Originally designed as a practical car for the British people, it soon made its mark in racing. The Cooper was the preferred vehicle for a multitude of successful rally and road racers, and the awards tell the tale. The Mini Cooper was voted the Second Most Influential Car of the Century, helping 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, thanks to its combination of 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 powder-coated metallic grey for a sleek and durable finish. A heat shield is incorporated to help keep heat from the turbo from heating the air entering the engine. This system utilizes the factory air inlet and even turns the Mini’s cosmetic hood scoop into a functional hood scoop, which directs even more outside air onto the air filter. This system comes with AEM’s 21-2027D-HK conical air filter featuring 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 combine 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 simple 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. As 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 reliable, exciting upgrade.
