Product Description
The 3.0L Explorer runs two turbos, and this S&B intake replaces the factory airbox with a larger enclosed box and two filters. The factory setup pulls through one panel filter and uses baffles to keep the intake quiet. This kit opens that up with two filters and larger intake tubes running to the turbos.
You will hear more turbo and intake sound when you get into the throttle, especially from inside the cabin. No tune is required. The intake works with the factory calibration as long as everything is installed correctly and the battery is disconnected during installation so the computer can relearn the added airflow.
Choose the oiled cotton version if you want reusable filters that are washed and re-oiled at service time. Choose the dry version if you drive in dusty areas and want filters that can be blown out with compressed air between replacements.

About S&B Filters
S&B builds air intakes, replacement filters, charge pipes, and other airflow parts for trucks and SUVs. Its intake systems use vehicle-specific airboxes, large filters, and factory-style mounting points instead of a universal open-filter design.
