Run Upgraded Cold-Side Charge Pipes Without Changing Your Intercooler
The FenFabrication OEM Intercooler Adapter is the perfect solution for 2025-2026 Ford Explorer ST owners who want to upgrade their cold-side charge pipe without committing to a full intercooler and hot-side piping swap. This adapter converts the OEM intercooler outlet to accept a silicone coupler, allowing you to run FenFabrication BOV charge pipe options while retaining the factory intercooler.
Designed for a simple, clean, and effective installation, this adapter bridges the gap between stock hardware and aftermarket performance parts. It's ideal for staged builds where you want improved airflow and blow-off valve options now - without the cost or complexity of replacing the entire intercooler system.
The kit includes a high-quality silicone coupler and T-bolt clamps to ensure a secure, leak-free connection under boost. Installation is straightforward: simply reuse the OEM retaining clip and O-ring from your factory cold-side charge pipe for proper sealing and factory-style fitment.
