Performance Air Intake For Ford Flex (2013-2018) with 3.5L V6 Turbo Engine Blue

Maximize Boost Efficiency for Your Ford Flex EcoBoost V6

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Ford Flex owners running the high-output 3.5L EcoBoost V6 engine who want to hear those turbos breathe and feel a more responsive throttle.

The Problem: The EcoBoost V6 is a powerhouse, but the factory intake system is built for silence, not flow. Between the restrictive paper filter and the corrugated plastic tubing, the air entering your twin turbos becomes turbulent and hot. This turbulence causes the turbos to work harder than necessary, leading to slower spool times and unnecessary heat soak during spirited driving.

The Solution: We engineered this intake system to streamline airflow directly into the turbos. By replacing the baffled stock airbox with a high-flow washable filter and aluminum piping, we’ve corrected the factory air-path restrictions. This allows the EcoBoost engine to reach its target boost levels faster while providing a deep, aggressive induction sound that lets you know those turbos are hard at work.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Turbo Response: By reducing intake restriction, your turbos spool up significantly faster, cutting down on lag and improving mid-range torque.
• Aluminum Construction: Unlike cheap plastic tubes that can crack or warp over time, our lightweight aluminum piping dissipates heat quickly and maintains a smooth internal surface for maximum air velocity.
• Zero-Maintenance Filter: The included high-flow filter is fully washable and reusable, engineered to protect your sensitive turbo impellers from contaminants.

The Performance Promise

Pro Tip: After installation, disconnect your battery for about 10 minutes. This forces the PCM (Engine Computer) to clear its old fuel trim data and “re-learn” the new, increased airflow parameters from your intake. You’ll notice the best performance gains after the first 50 miles of driving. Buy with confidence knowing this kit is designed for a perfect bolt-on fit.
