Performance Cold Air Intake System for 2000–2005 Ford Excursion 6.8L V10 – Enhanced Combustion Efficiency & Consistent Power Gains
Ensure your Ford Excursion's maximized airflow and engine performance boost with this precision-engineered cold air intake system. Engineered specifically for the massive 6.8L 415 cu in V10 SOHC engine, this kit replaces the restrictive factory air box that often limits the potential of your heavy-duty SUV during long hauls or demanding climbs. By utilizing a heavy-duty powder-coated heat shield to isolate the intake from engine bay temperatures, this system provides the cooler, denser air charge needed for peak combustion efficiency and a more capable driving experience.
The factory intake components are designed for silence over speed, often creating bottlenecks that restrict the V10's ability to breathe under load. Cooler air carries more oxygen, which translates into a more intense explosion in the combustion chamber to create more horsepower and torque. This system utilizes a high-flow aluminum intake tube and an enclosed shield that effectively reduces heat soak, allowing your engine to act as a more efficient air pump and providing a performance increase of 8–10% throughout the entire RPM range.
