Upgrade the intake system of your MINI Cooper S F55 / F56 / F57 LCI 2.0L Turbo (2019–) with the GruppeM Ram Air System FRI-0344, developed to improve fresh-air delivery, optimize intake airflow and enhance the engine's overall performance character.
The system uses a dedicated carbon-fiber intake duct and filter housing designed around the MINI's engine-bay layout. The intake duct helps shield the filter from hot air generated inside the engine compartment while directing fresh outside air toward the filter for a more consistent intake environment. GruppeM describes its Ram Air Systems as carbon intake systems designed to pursue optimized intake airflow.
The combination of a performance-oriented filter and enclosed carbon intake structure is designed to improve the efficiency of the incoming air path while helping control intake temperatures. This is particularly beneficial when the 2.0L Turbo is operating under sustained load.
The carbon intake system also enhances the Induction Sound, giving the MINI Cooper S a more pronounced and sporty intake character when accelerating. The combination of improved airflow and enhanced intake sound creates a more engaging Driving Experience without changing the distinctive personality of the MINI.
The FRI-0344 is officially listed by GruppeM for the MINI (III) F55/F56/F57 LCI 2.0L Cooper S (Turbo), 2019–, with the same product number also listed for the corresponding 2.0L JCW application.
The system uses GruppeM's dedicated intake configuration and replacement filter specification GMR-3301 for the FRI-0344 application.
The GruppeM FRI-0344 Ram Air System is an ideal upgrade for MINI Cooper S owners seeking improved Intake Airflow, Intake Temperature Management, Induction Sound and Throttle Response with a premium carbon intake system.
