FENFABrication High Flow Air Intake V2 Review (2020+ Ford Explorer ST)
Overview
The FENFABrication High Flow Air Intake V2, sold through Southdown Garage Shop, is a dual-filter cold air intake built specifically for the 2020-and-newer Ford Explorer ST. It's the second generation of FENFAB's intake design, replacing the factory intake piping with 2.75-inch mandrel-bent aluminum tubing connected with 4-ply black silicone couplers, and it's offered in textured black, red, brushed silver, or Aztec blue finishes (a custom color option adds $40).
Claimed Performance
According to the brand, moving to a two-filter setup increases airflow versus the single-filter V1 design, which they say helps spool-up, torque, and horsepower. The listing states the intake out-flows the factory setup by 27% and claims roughly +20 horsepower gains on a stock turbo, along with more audible turbo and blow-off valve sounds and cooler intake air temperatures while cruising. These are brand-stated figures rather than independently dyno-verified numbers, so buyers chasing a specific power figure should treat them as marketing estimates rather than guarantees.
Pricing and Lead Time
The intake is priced at $645.00, with shipping calculated at checkout (the retailer is Canada-based, so international buyers should confirm currency and duties before ordering). Southdown Garage notes a two-week turnaround time for this item, which suggests it may be built or finished to order rather than shipped from ready stock.
Customer Feedback
The product page currently shows just one total review. That's a very small sample to draw conclusions from, so treat the overall reception as unproven rather than well-established — worth watching for more reviews to accumulate before treating this as a widely validated product.
Bottom Line
For Explorer ST owners specifically hunting a dual-filter intake upgrade with color-matching options, this is a niche but purpose-built product. The claimed gains are worth verifying independently if outright horsepower numbers matter to your build, and the two-week lead time should factor into any install planning.
Pros: Purpose-built for Explorer ST, multiple finish options, dual-filter design.
Cons: Only one customer review so far; two-week turnaround; performance claims are brand-stated, not independently verified.
