Performance Air Intake For Ford Ranger/Mazda B4000 (2004-2011) with 4.0L V6 Engine Black

Improve Throttle Response and Volumetric Efficiency for Ford Ranger & Mazda B4000 4.0L Cologne V6

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Ford Ranger and Mazda B-Series owners running the 4.0L Cologne V6 SOHC engine who want to wake up their truck’s mid-range torque and induction sound.

The Problem: The 4.0L Cologne V6 is a rugged, reliable powerplant, but the factory air box is a major bottleneck. It utilizes a restrictive paper filter and a corrugated plastic intake tube designed for noise suppression rather than airflow. This setup causes air turbulence and heat soak, resulting in sluggish throttle response and a power curve that feels choked out during heavy acceleration or towing.

The Solution: This intake system replaces the restrictive factory plumbing with high-flow aluminum piping. By smoothing out the intake path and using a high-velocity conical filter, we’ve increased the air volume available to the engine. This corrects the factory design limitations of the Cologne V6, delivering a more aggressive engine note and a noticeable improvement in how the truck pulls through the gears.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Enhanced Induction Flow: Mandrel-bent aluminum piping reduces air turbulence, allowing the engine to reach peak torque faster than the stock corrugated setup.
• Heavy-Duty Filtration: The included washable synthetic filter provides superior micron-level protection while maintaining high CFM flow.
• Bolt-On Installation: Engineered to utilize factory mounting points, this kit can be installed in under 60 minutes using standard hand tools. No drilling or permanent vehicle modifications required.

The Performance Promise

Expert Tip: After installation, we recommend disconnecting your battery for 10-15 minutes. This allows the ECU to reset its long-term fuel trims and “re-learn” the increased airflow from your new intake, ensuring optimal performance gains right out of the driveway. Buy with confidence from automotive experts who know the Cologne V6 inside and out.
