Silicone Air Intake Hose for Mini Cooper S (R52 / R53) – Red | Performance Replacement

Restore airflow efficiency and reliability in your supercharged Mini Cooper S with this reinforced silicone air intake hose. Engineered as an upgraded replacement for the failure-prone factory rubber unit (OEM Part #13721491743), this hose is designed to withstand the high heat and vacuum pressures common in R52 and R53 platforms. Unlike stock hoses that crack or collapse over time, this multi-ply silicone component maintains its shape under boost, preserving throttle response and smooth power delivery.

Constructed with polyester reinforcement, this intake hose is overbuilt to exceed factory standards, making it an ideal choice for both routine maintenance and performance-oriented builds. The clean white finish provides a custom look under the hood while maintaining the mechanical integrity required for spirited driving. Precision-molded to OEM dimensions, this hose ensures a secure fit that supports the raw, supercharged character of your Mini.
