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.

Important Stuff

  • The intake is designed to fit the F56 MINI Cooper and Cooper S for model years 2014through 2024.
  • Note: This intake will NOT fit the MINI Cooper GP
  • The CAI includes all needed hardware and a lifetime K&N Filter
  • The CAI housing is built with sheets of aluminum with machined tubing instead of the plastic used in the stock airbox

Notice: This intake has NOT been certified for legal use in CA and other states adopting CA emissions standards under Section 177 of the Federal Clean Air Act of 1970.

Please check with laws in your area to make sure that your use of this product is compliant with current regulations in your jurisdiction.

Pre-LCI vs Post-LCI

For 3rd Gen MINIs there are two different MAF sensors in use. The pre-LCI version and the post-LCI version. It is very easy to determine which version your car is equipped with. The pre-LCI version has ridges on the face in the shape of a Union Jack. The post-LCI version is flatter and has a small qr code printed on the face.

Both versions of the 3rd Gen MINI airbox MAF sensor.

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.

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.
