Alta Cold Air Intake on 2006 Mini Cooper S

Installed the Alta Cold Air Intake for my 2006 Mini Cooper S (R53). Wanted to show the sound and acceleration as there were few videos of decent quality on here. You can definitely hear the supercharger better and there is a whistle that some people like and others don't. Overall, I love the intake and the sound of rushing air doesn't really bother me :) I got the intake with the silicone hose from Alta Performance.

Can you notice any power difference?

@Shreddster211 It's definitely got better throttle response and pickup. I don't think it's the placebo effect of the wonderful sound...

whining sound from the supercharger always annoys me super charge models are better but eh w/e i like all mini coopers and u can customise and make all of them (r53-r56) great.
