Air Intake for the Ford EcoBoost
Cold air intakes and intake tubes that free up airflow and feed the EcoBoost turbos cooler, denser air for sharper throttle response on the 2.7 and 3.5.
0 parts
A cold air intake is one of the first mods most EcoBoost owners consider, and for good reason: it is a visible, audible upgrade that lets the turbos pull cooler, less-restricted air and gives the engine a more purposeful induction note under boost. On a turbocharged engine the intake matters slightly differently than on a naturally aspirated one — the goal is a smooth, high-flow path to the compressor inlets and a filter that keeps flow up without letting grit through. This category collects intake systems and high-flow filters for the 2.7 and 3.5 EcoBoost.
Set expectations honestly: on a stock, untuned EcoBoost an intake is mostly about throttle feel, turbo sound, and long-term filtration convenience rather than big dyno numbers. The intake earns its keep as part of a package — add a tune to take advantage of the extra airflow, and pair it with the exhaust and charge-pipe upgrades that let the turbos breathe on both ends. Filtration quality matters most: a turbo inhales everything the filter misses.

What to know before you buy
Tune to unlock the airflow
An intake on a stock tune mostly changes sound and throttle feel. Pair it with a quality tune so the calibration can actually use the extra airflow — that is where the intake starts contributing to power.
Filter quality protects the turbos
Whatever the filter misses goes straight into the compressor wheels. Choose a reputable filter and service it on schedule; a cheap element that oils or passes dust is a false economy on a boosted engine.
Sealed airbox beats an open cone
An enclosed or sealed intake that draws cool air from outside the engine bay outperforms an exposed cone filter soaking up hot underhood air. Cooler inlet air is denser air.
