The Dinan carbon fiber intake for the MINI B46/B48 engines (as well as the BMW F48 X1 and F39 X2) is tantamount to an exercise in efficiency. Given a confined space with limited options and an even smaller budget create an intake that provides power, sound, and throttle response in an aesthetically pleasing package. While not the easiest of things to accomplish, we embarked upon the task with our team of engineers determined to provide a solution. Through a bevy of flow bench testing it was quickly determined that the biggest hindrance to improved flow on the stock intake was the factory snorkel. Unfortunately, the snorkel also was the piece that would cause the largest increase in cost to a potential kit. As a result it was quickly abandoned as a potential area of improvement. Instead, attention was turned to finding a way to introduce a secondary inlet for additional a
