Key features and benefits
- Injection-moulded replacement air box lid increases air volume for improved flow.
- Special heat-resistant composite construction helps combat power-robbing heat soak.
- Integrated O-ring fully seals the air box for maximised pressurisation and consistent performance.
- High flow filter element optimises intake airflow within the stock air box footprint.
- Secondary intake duct draws in additional cool, oxygen-rich air via the factory brake cooling duct.

- Retains an OEM-like look and fit for a clean, dependable upgrade.
The Dinan intake replaces the factory air box lid with a larger-volume, precision-moulded composite top that resists under-bonnet heat. The sealed O-ring interface ensures the air box remains airtight, maintaining positive pressure and shielding the intake charge from heat soak under varied driving conditions. As road speed increases, the included secondary intake duct feeds cooler air through the factory brake duct path, supporting stable performance on both daily drives and spirited runs.
