The aFe Magnum FORCE Stage-2 cold air intake for the 3.5L Duratec V6 uses a CAD designed, roto-molded intake tube and a powder-coated one-piece heat shield that snaps onto the top of the lower half of the factory air box. A 7 in tall, 360 degree radial flow conical Pro 5R filter with five layers of oiled cotton gauze sits inside the shield and can be washed and reused. The system outflows the factory intake by 24% and is rated at up to +17 hp and +13 lb-ft. It installs on the stock mounting locations with no cutting or drilling, and vehicles without a MAF sensor use the supplied block-off plate.
