FenFabrication High Flow Air Intake V2 - Brushed Finish (2020-2026 Ford Explorer ST)
Dual-Filter Intake System with Raw Performance Aesthetic
The FenFabrication High Flow Air Intake V2 is the next step forward in airflow performance for the 2020-2026 Ford Explorer ST, featuring an upgraded dual-filter design and high-flow aluminum tubing. This V2 system replaces the restrictive factory intake components to deliver improved turbo response, increased air volume, and measurable gains in horsepower and torque - while retaining an OEM-like fitment.
At the heart of the system is 2.75-inch mandrel-bent aluminum tubing, designed to maximize airflow to the turbocharger. Silicone couplers are used throughout to ensure secure, leak-free connections. By moving from a single filter to dual pre-oiled cone air filters, this intake significantly increases airflow, helping improve spool-up, throttle response, and overall performance.
This version features a brushed aluminum finish, delivering a raw, motorsports-inspired look that highlights the craftsmanship of the aluminum tubing. In addition to visual appeal, drivers can expect more pronounced turbo and blow-off valve sound along with efficient airflow that helps maintain ambient intake air temperatures while cruising.
