Pipercross AirMax Intake System for Gen 3 MINI

Designed for MINI enthusiasts who demand maximum airflow and efficiency -  the Pipercross Full AirMax Intake System is a high-performance upgrade engineered to replace the restrictive OEM intake components. Purpose-built for the MINI F56 2.0T (B48) engine, this system enhances power, response, and durability with cutting-edge materials and design.

Why Choose the AirMax Intake?

Carbon Fibre Performance – A sleek, high-strength AirMax carbon fibre air box lid replaces the factory component, delivering a larger post-filter internal air volume for improved breathing.
Optimised Flow Dynamics – Precision-designed geometry ensures maximum airflow efficiency, complementing the larger intake system.
Advanced MAF Sensor Integration – CNC-machined and carbon-bonded aluminium mount ensures seamless compatibility and accuracy. 2 MAF sensor adapters are supplied with the kit so it will fit all years and models of the F55, F56 and F57, ideal if you like to change your car and take the AirMax with you.  
Reinforced Outlet Connection – Built for long-term durability with aluminium reinforcement, ensuring a secure, leak-free fit.
Premium Pipercross Plus Panel Filter – A hybrid multi-density high-flow filter delivers exceptional filtration while boosting performance and looks great in the air box. 

Enhanced Airflow with a Robust Design

Oversized Silicone Intake Hose – Step-matched, thick-walled construction maintains OEM engine flex while allowing greater air volume.
CNC Mandrel-Bent Aluminium Rear Pipe – Powder-coated and engineered with a larger internal diameter, eliminating the restrictive OE resonator section for a smoother, more efficient flow.
High-Precision Fittings – CNC-machined vacuum ports and outlet connectors ensure seamless integration and reliability.
Durability First – Vibration-damping mounts, hard-anodised aluminium standoffs, and stainless steel hardware provide long-lasting performance and corrosion resistance.

Tested. Proven. Unleashed.

Airflow Gains – Independent testing confirms a 91.46% reduction in airflow restriction, increasing maximum airflow from 540 CFM (OE) to 725 CFM with the AirMax system fitted.

Dyno tested at Lohen  with proven performance gains we tested the kit on a standard and tuned MINI F56 Cooper S. In each configuration we saw an improvement in performance and a reduction in air flow restriction
