Product Description

The K&N 77-2594KC High-Flow Intake Kit is designed for the 2.3 L Turbo four-cylinder engine in the Ford Explorer model years 2020 through 2024. By replacing the factory intake tube and filter assembly with a mandrel-bent aluminum tube and a large high-flow cotton gauze filter, this system allows the engine to breathe more freely, improving throttle response, airflow volume and engine sound. The dyno-tested benefit shows approximately 10.46 additional horsepower and roughly 9.6 lb-ft torque under optimal conditions.

Installation is straightforward and typically takes under an hour with standard hand tools. Because the system retains the factory sensor placement and mounting architecture, no performance tuning is required for a stock engine. The reusable filter reduces long-term maintenance cost while the polished intake tube adds visual appeal under the hood.

This intake kit is ideal for owners of the Ford Explorer 2.3 L Turbo who want better sound, improved airflow, and enhanced under-hood appearance without sacrificing everyday drivability. Fitment is confirmed through model year 2024; coverage beyond 2024 is unconfirmed at time of listing. Please verify your engine, drivetrain (FWD/AWD) and local emissions regulations before purchase.
