2012 Ford Expedition Intake

^ This is what I had in mind originally.



Dib, so is the K&N breathing hot air from the engine compartment? This is one of the reasons I wanted to keep the OEM airbox.

Believe it or not, NO. The heat shield seals to the hood. A couple of the guys on here have taken temp readings at the intake and they are pretty close to ambient temp. The only time you start to suck warmer air is in stop and go traffic.

I just ordered the K&N intake.

Hmmm... might have to consider an actual intake now.

I've had the K&N for 6 months. Love the sound. Just need a programmer to bad throttle response off the line.

I added 6" diameter flexible tubing from the airbox hole in the inner fender, down behind the headlight, down into the lower bumper cover area and put a PVC elbow on the end. 10 mph pressurizes the airbox.
