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

Give your 2001-2003 Ford Explorer or Sport Trac 4.0L V6 the airflow upgrade it deserves—designed to deliver sharper throttle response, increased torque, and a more aggressive engine note without the restrictive factory airbox.

Built for the SOHC V6 That Does the Work

The third-generation Explorer and first-gen Sport Trac are trusted platforms—reliable daily drivers, capable towers, and proven off-road rigs. But Ford's factory intake system wasn't built for performance. It was designed for quiet operation and emissions compliance, which means your 4.0L V6 has been breathing through a straw since day one.

This cold air intake changes that. By replacing the restrictive stock airbox with smooth-flowing T-304 aluminum tubing and a high-flow washable filter, you're giving your engine the oxygen it needs to respond instantly. The result is crisper throttle, better low-end torque, and a deep induction sound that reminds you there's real power under the hood.

What Makes This Intake Different

• T-304 Aluminum Tubing: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant construction reduces intake temps and improves airflow efficiency
• Washable Performance Filter: Reusable design saves money and delivers consistent airflow for the life of your vehicle
• Complete Hardware Kit: All clamps, couplers, and brackets included for a straightforward bolt-on install
• Aggressive Sound: Deep mechanical growl under acceleration—no more muffled factory tone

Real-World Performance Benefits

• Improved Throttle Response: Instant pedal feel from idle to redline
• Increased Torque: Better pulling power for towing, climbing, and merging
• Horsepower Gains: Measurable power increase across the RPM range
• Fuel Efficiency Potential: Optimized air-to-fuel ratio can improve MPG when driven conservatively

Installation & Fitment

This is a direct bolt-on upgrade. Remove the factory airbox, install the new aluminum tubing and filter, secure everything with the included hardware, and you're done. Basic hand tools and about an hour in the driveway are all you need.

Important: Before starting installation, disconnect the negative battery cable and leave it disconnected for at least one minute after you finish. This allows the ECU to relearn the new airflow parameters. Make sure the engine is completely cool before beginning work.
