The Leap Eolian intake was designed to make sure of the air flow from the bonnet scoop, and direct it to the OEM air filter housing. The original intake ducts take hot air from above the radiator, so changing this design to take fresh air from the scoop, improves flow and intake air temperature (IAT) which results in better combustion, making your car into a more efficient machine.
This duct is a direct replacement of the OEM duct and does not require cutting, bending or modifying your car in any way. It directs the air to the OEM filter housing so in order to take more advantage of this duct it is recommended to replace your OEM filter for a more efficient one, such as the AEM Air Intake 21-839C MINI Cooper S F56
