Cold Air Intake for Ford Explorer Sport Trac (2001-2003) 4.0L V6 Engine Blue

Give your 2001-2003 Ford Explorer or Sport Trac 4.0L V6 the airflow it's been missing with this performance cold air intake—engineered to deliver sharper throttle response, added torque, and a more aggressive engine note.

More Power for the Proven SOHC V6

The third-generation Explorer and first-gen Sport Trac are known for their reliability and capability, but the factory airbox wasn't built for performance—it was built for quiet operation and emissions compliance. This intake system changes that by replacing restrictive stock components with smooth-flowing T-304 aluminum tubing and a high-flow washable filter. The result? Your 4.0L V6 breathes deeper, pulls harder, and sounds like it means business.

Whether you're merging onto the highway, towing a trailer, or navigating steep grades, this intake gives your engine the oxygen it needs to respond instantly. You'll feel the difference in throttle crispness and low-end torque—two areas where the stock setup falls short.

What Makes This Intake Different

• T-304 Aluminum Tubing: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and designed to reduce intake air temperatures for denser combustion
• Washable Performance Filter: Reusable design saves money and delivers consistent airflow over the long haul
• Complete Hardware Kit: Includes all clamps, couplers, and brackets for a hassle-free bolt-on install
• Aggressive Induction Sound: Deep, mechanical growl that reminds you there's a V6 working under the hood

Real-World Performance Benefits

• Improved Throttle Response: Instant pedal feel from idle to redline
• Noticeable Torque Gains: Better pulling power for towing and climbing
• Horsepower Increase: Measurable gains across the powerband
• Fuel Efficiency Potential: Optimized air-to-fuel ratio can improve MPG when driven conservatively

Installation & Fitment

This is a straightforward bolt-on upgrade. Remove the factory airbox, install the new aluminum tubing and filter, secure everything with the included clamps, and you're done. Basic hand tools and about an hour in the driveway are all you need. Before starting, disconnect the negative battery cable and leave it off for at least one minute after installation to allow the ECU to relearn airflow parameters. Make sure the engine is completely cool before you begin.
