Upgrade the restrictive factory intercooler piping on your 3.0L EcoBoost with the S&B Hot Side Intercooler Pipe. The stock hot-side pipe contains several choke points that restrict airflow and limit performance. S&B designed this high-performance replacement with a larger diameter and smoother airflow path to reduce restriction and improve charge air delivery from the turbo to the intercooler.

Built for performance and durability, this pipe is engineered as a direct-fit replacement that installs with factory mounting points while delivering improved airflow and reliability over the OEM plastic piping. Whether your Explorer ST or Aviator is stock or tuned, this upgrade helps support higher boost levels and more consistent performance.
