aFe Power Rapid Induction Cold Air Intake System (Part Number: 52-10011R)

If you're looking to enhance your vehicle's performance, the aFe Power Rapid Induction Cold Air Intake System is designed with precision and care. Manufactured in Corona, California, aFe has built a solid reputation for quality and reliability. This intake system is specifically tailored for select BMW and MINI models from 2019 to 2021, ensuring a perfect fit for your ride.

Key Features

  • Large Five Layer Performance Air Filter: This 6" tall air filter features a 360-degree radial flow design with a 3" round flange. The Pro 5R media, made of five layers of progressively finer cotton gauze, allows for maximum airflow and is suitable for both street and track use.
  • Top Mounted Heat Shield Design: The sturdy 18-gauge steel heat shield, coated in wrinkle-black powder, mounts securely onto the factory airbox, helping to protect your intake from heat.
  • Mandrel-Bent Tubing: The one-piece 3" mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube, also in wrinkle-black powder-coat, directs unrestricted airflow from the filter to the turbocharger, optimizing horsepower and torque.
  • Hassle-Free Installation: This kit comes with all necessary hardware and high-quality stainless steel clamps, making installation straightforward and efficient.
  • Optional Intake System Cover: Compatible with aFe Power Covers 54-12868-B and 54-12868-C for those looking to add an extra touch.

Performance Gains

With dyno-proven gains of up to +7 HP and +9 lbs. x ft. of torque, this intake system outflows the factory intake by an impressive 66%. It measures a flow rate of 390 CFM at 7" H20, ensuring your engine breathes easier and performs better.
