Product Description

The aFe 54-12742 Magnum FORCE Stage-2 Cold Air Intake System is a performance-focused upgrade designed specifically for the 2015-2020 Ford F-150 equipped with the 5.0L V8 engine. This intake system replaces the restrictive factory air intake with a high-flow design that delivers increased airflow, improved throttle response, and enhanced engine sound. The included Pro 5R pre-oiled air filter is washable and reusable, providing both long service life and excellent filtration. The wrinkle-black powder-coated aluminum intake tube and top-mounted heat shield help isolate intake air from engine bay heat, drawing in cooler air for improved combustion efficiency.

Installation is straightforward with a true bolt-on design that uses factory mounting points, requiring no cutting or drilling. A 3-angle velocity stack adapter improves airflow velocity into the intake tract, helping unlock additional horsepower and torque potential. This intake system is engineered to outflow the factory setup by a large margin, offering noticeable performance gains and a more aggressive induction sound. CARB 50-state legal status applies under EO# D-550-28 for compatible model years, but check the specific vehicle year's legality before purchase.
