Short Ram Air Intake For Ford Windstar (1999-2002) with 3.8L V6 Engine Black

Boost Throttle Response and Efficiency for Your Ford Windstar Essex V6

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for 1999-2002 Ford Windstar owners running the 3.8L Essex V6 engine who want to wake up their vehicle’s performance.

The Problem: The factory intake system on the Essex V6 was engineered for maximum silence and low-cost production, not airflow. The stock plastic air box and restrictive paper filters create significant turbulence and "choke" the engine during acceleration. This leads to the sluggish feeling many Windstar owners experience when merging or passing on the highway.

The Solution: We engineered this Short Ram Intake to replace the restrictive factory plumbing with high-flow, mandrel-bent T304 aluminum. By smoothing out the intake path and utilizing a high-velocity cone filter, we correct the air-starvation issues of the Essex V6, allowing the engine to pull in more oxygen with less effort for a noticeable increase in low-end grunt and a much crisper throttle feel.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Measurable Power Gains: Dyno-estimated increases of up to 10-15 Horsepower and 10 lb-ft of Torque by reducing pumping losses.
• Premium T304 Construction: Lightweight aluminum piping dissipates heat faster than stock plastics and provides a permanent, rust-proof solution for your engine bay.
• Reusable Filtration: The included high-flow air filter is fully washable and reusable, engineered to last up to 50,000 miles between cleanings under standard driving conditions.
• Expert Installation: Designed as a direct bolt-on that reuses your factory Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, meaning no complex tuning is required and it won’t void your vehicle warranty.
