FenFabrication Hotside Charge Piping - Black (Fits FF V2, AFE, S&B & OEM Intake) (2020-2025 Ford Explorer ST)
High-Flow Hot-Side Upgrade for Improved Power and Reliability
The FenFabrication Hotside Charge Piping is a direct bolt-on upgrade for the 2020-2025 Ford Explorer ST, designed to replace the restrictive factory plastic hot-side piping found on the 3.0L EcoBoost. By upgrading to larger-diameter aluminum tubing, this system improves airflow efficiency, supports increased power, and enhances under-hood durability compared to the OEM plastic design.
Constructed from 2.5-inch mandrel-bent, TIG-welded aluminum, this hotside charge pipe reduces restriction and promotes smoother airflow from the turbo to the intercooler. The result is improved throttle response and more consistent boost delivery - especially beneficial for tuned or aggressively driven Explorer STs.
Finished in a clean black powder coat, this version maintains an OEM-plus look while delivering a serious performance upgrade. The kit is engineered to work with FenFabrication V2, AFE, S&B, and OEM intake systems, and is compatible with both factory and aftermarket intercoolers.
Important: Please provide the exact model year of your Explorer ST at checkout to ensure proper fitment.
