More Noise, More Air, More Power

One of the best ways to get some more power out of your MINI's engine is to increase the volume of cold air available to it. The Craven Speed Cold Air Intake allows massive amounts of cold air to get to our K&N lifelong filter.

You don't need a mechanic, ANYONE can install The CAI

The intake installs in just a few minutes, with tools you've probably got lying around.

Great product

It shipped fast I went to install it and the installation instructions were right on. Good quality and have gotten lots of comments on the sound, I get better fuel efficiency when I’m not trying to hear that turbo spool. Their customer service is far and few between.

R53 Cold Air Intake

I've used Cravenspeed.com for quite a few years for my F54 Clubman. The quality of the items are amazing. The customer service is wonderful and the detailed instructions are so easy to follow. Installing the CAI was pretty easy, instructions were perfect. Thank you for providing quality products and great customer service.

Velociraptors

I had the unique opportunity to modify my vehicle for two reasons; it’s out of warranty and acceptance something will break. This CAI was one of the first aftermarket part I installed in my vehicle. My ipad was out displaying cravenspeed instructions. My amazon tools were lying nearby. I was ready to install this intake. It took a total hour maybe hour and a half to install this intake. This included stalling, pinching, zooming and cursing this installation in my garage with just a Chicago street lamp and night light as a form of luminance. The first drive was a joy to be had. Me, grinning from side to side; I blip the throttle and the breath and whisper of deceased velociraptors emit from my engine bay. This first installment encourages me to continue modifying my vehicle. What are you waiting for? I sold you enough with velociraptors. Get it already.
