MXP Series Cold Air Intake System

The AIRAID 402-260 MXP Series Dam Cold Air Intake System is engineered to replace the factory intake components in your 2013-2019 Ford Explorer, offering a significant upgrade in airflow and engine performance. This system utilizes a CAD-designed, roto-molded polyethylene airbox that seals against the hood to create a dedicated enclosure for the large 360º AIRAID SynthaMax™ air filter. This design ensures that only the coolest ambient air is drawn into the engine, which is crucial for maximizing horsepower and torque. The SynthaMax™ filter is constructed with a 100% synthetic, multi-layer media designed for both high-efficiency filtration (over 99%) and maximum airflow. Its unique layered design captures contaminants effectively without creating excessive restriction, supporting better combustion and engine output. The airbox itself features large inlets specifically positioned to draw in the coldest possible air. The polyethylene construction of the airbox and intake tube is less susceptible to heat soak than metal alternatives, further contributing to cooler intake charge temperatures. The system comes complete with all necessary hardware, including stainless steel worm gear clamps, a coupler, and detailed instructions. AIRAID backs this intake system with a "No Hassle" Lifetime Limited Warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the original purchaser. Note that while this intake is designed for specific Ford Explorer models, one customer review mentioned issues with pre-drilled holes and temperature sensor fitment on a different vehicle (2018 Ford F-150), and another noted that the size is consistent across various Mopar engines, implying potential for over-sizing on smaller displacement engines.
