Fits: Ford Ranger 2.3L EcoBoost, 2019-2021.
What this is
This is an aFe Rapid Induction cold air intake (part no. 52-10001R) that we sell for the Ford Ranger 2.3L EcoBoost. It replaces the factory upper intake box and keeps the lower half of the factory airbox, mounting at the factory locations.
aFe lists up to 5 hp and 5 lb-ft of torque and about 58% more airflow over the factory intake.
Design
The intake tube is computer-designed and dyno-tuned by aFe to produce the power gains while keeping the fit. It is made from XLPE, which aFe states is heat-soak resistant and durable. aFe measures 410 CFM at 7 inches of water.
The top-mounted heat shield is 18-gauge steel with a wrinkle-black powder-coat finish and snaps onto the top of the lower half of the factory airbox using the factory mounting locations. The Pro 5R filter uses five layers of pre-oiled cotton gauze and keeps flowing even when dirty. Stainless steel clamps and a silicone coupler hold the tube together.
