Performance Cold Air Intake System for 2001–2004 Ford Escape – 3.0L V6 Response & Sound
Revitalize your Ford Escape’s engine performance with this high-flow cold air intake system, specifically engineered for the 3.0L DOHC V6 engine. By replacing the restrictive factory air box with a streamlined airflow induction path, this kit allows the V6 engine to draw in a larger volume of oxygen-rich air with significantly less effort. The result is a more energetic combustion cycle, providing crisper throttle sensitivity and more fluid acceleration, perfectly complementing the versatile and dependable nature of the Escape platform.
Made specifically for the 3.0L V6 platform, this upgrade unlocks hidden efficiency while maintaining the reliable daily drivability of your vehicle. In addition to the performance boost, it grants your Ford a deeper, more authoritative induction note under load, while the streamlined design ensures the engine bay looks clean and purpose-built for both the daily commute and weekend adventures.
