Cold Air Intake For 2015-2018 Ford F-150 5.0L V8

The 5.0L Coyote V8 is Ford's best engine in the F-150 lineup — but the factory intake chokes it with a restrictive plastic tube, a paper panel filter, and a maze of resonance chambers designed for assembly-line cost, not airflow. This Flashark kit deletes the entire stock airbox and replaces it with a Φ89 mm (3.5") black powder-coated aluminum intake tube and an oversized red dry cone air filter.

Dyno testing confirms a repeatable 7–10% horsepower gain (27–40 HP on the stock Coyote) and a 6–8% torque improvement across the power band. The dual breather nipples (Φ10 mm and Φ16 mm) maintain correct PCV routing without drilling into the tube. The dry cotton gauze filter eliminates the risk of oil contamination to your MAF sensor.

Bolt-on installation uses factory mounting points. No cutting, no drilling, no tune required. All couplers, clamps, hardware, heat shield, and insulation are in the box.

Key Features

Φ89 mm (3.5") Mandrel-Bent T-304 Aluminum Intake Tube — Polished finish resists corrosion, heat, and road salt. 3.5-inch diameter outflows the factory 3.0-inch plastic tube by over 35% in cross-sectional area. Smooth mandrel bends eliminate turbulence at the throttle body transition

High-Flow Dry Cotton Gauze Filter — Oversized red conical filter: oil-free dry media. Washable and reusable — no messy oil kits, no risk of fouling the Coyote's sensitive MAF sensor. Chrome-plated steel upper cap with reinforced PU base

4-Ply Reinforced Silicone Couplers — Multi-layer silicone construction withstands underhood heat cycling without cracking or collapsing. Clean, wrinkle-free transition from intake tube to throttle body

Stainless Steel T-Bolt Clamps — Constant-tension clamps maintain a perfect seal through thermal expansion cycles. No worm-gear stripping, no cold-start leaks

Factory-Backed Mounting Bracket — Powder-coated steel bracket with integrated rubber vibration isolator bolts to the factory airbox mounting point on the passenger-side inner fender

Bolt-On Installation — Uses OEM airbox mounting points on the F-150 chassis. No cutting, no welding, reversible in under 60 minutes. All hardware included

No Tune Required — Maintains correct MAF sensor position and factory PCV routing. Plug-and-play with the stock ECU — no CEL, no limp mode, no tuner needed

Deep V8 Induction Sound — The 5.0L Coyote finally sounds like a V8 when you open the throttle. Aggressive under load, refined at highway cruising speed
