S&B Filters Hot Side Intercooler Pipe (2020 - 2024 Explorer ST & Lincoln Aviator 3.0L EcoBoost) 83-2007
Upgrade the Restrictive Factory Intercooler Piping
The S&B Filters Hot Side Intercooler Pipe is designed to replace the restrictive factory intercooler piping found on the 2020 - 2024 Ford Explorer ST, Explorer Platinum, and Lincoln Aviator 3.0L EcoBoost. Engineered for improved airflow, faster turbo response, and increased durability, this upgrade helps maximize the performance potential of Ford's twin-turbocharged 3.0L EcoBoost platform.
Improved Airflow & Performance
The factory hot side intercooler pipe necks down to approximately 1.6 inches near the driver-side turbocharger, creating a significant restriction in the airflow path. S&B eliminates this bottleneck by maintaining a larger 2.8-inch outside diameter throughout the system, allowing substantially more airflow and improved charge air delivery.
The result is improved throttle response, reduced turbo lag, and enhanced overall performance, especially during aggressive driving and repeated acceleration runs.
Premium Aluminum Construction
Unlike the factory plastic piping, the S&B intercooler pipe is constructed from mandrel-bent, TIG-welded aluminum for superior strength and durability. The polished finish not only enhances engine bay appearance but also helps resist heat soak for more consistent performance during back-to-back pulls.
Built for Reliability
High-strength aramid-reinforced silicone couplers and stainless steel T-bolt clamps ensure secure connections under elevated boost pressures while maintaining long-term reliability.
BOV Ready Design
The intercooler pipe includes a provision for a blow-off valve (BOV) and comes supplied with a block-off cap, providing flexibility for future performance upgrades.
