AEM Cold Air Intake System – 21‑699C for MINI Cooper S & JCW (N14 / R56 with MAF Sensor)

High-Flow Design | Direct MAF Compatibility | OEM Scoop Integration

Product Description:

The AEM 21‑699C Cold Air Intake is a premium performance upgrade for 2007–2010 MINI Cooper S & JCW R56 models with the N14 engine and MAF sensor. By replacing the restrictive stock intake and converting the fake OEM hood scoop into a functional air duct, this intake dramatically improves airflow, throttle response, and power output.

Designed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and validated on the flow bench, the 21‑699C delivers up to +14.1 hp @ 5,400 rpm and +11.3 ft‑lbs torque @ 3,300 rpm, with a clean MAF signal for smooth drivability.

Key Features:

• Direct-fit MAF sensor design – plug-and-play compatibility

• Converts OEM hood scoop into a functional cold-air duct

• AEM Dryflow™ oil-free filter – washable and reusable

• Mandrel-bent aluminium intake tube for unrestricted flow

• Optimised couplers and airbox design for consistent mid-range torque and high-end power

• Includes AEM turbo heat shield for extra thermal protection

• Backed by AEM’s Lifetime Limited Warranty

What’s Included:

• 1x AEM Dryflow™ high-flow filter (oil-free)

• 1x Custom AEM airbox

• 1x AEM bonnet air duct

• 1x Mandrel-bent aluminium intake tube

⚠️ Important Notes:
