2015 Ford F150 5.0-liter V8 Pickup Truck 50 State Street Legal K&N FIPK Air Intake
- 28 Dec 2015
For over 30 years the Ford F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States. For 2015 the Ford F-150 was completely redesigned and is currently one of the hottest selling vehicles on the market. The beauty of the 2015 Ford F-150 is its all-aluminum body panels, as well as a new frame made of 77% high-strength steel. The aluminum and high-strength steel have helped the 2015 F-150 shed up to 750 lbs. Less weight means higher payload and towing capacities, more miles per gallon, and a better power to weight ratio.
Performance minded drivers know that less weight and more power combine to increase the rate of acceleration. K&N can help the lighter 2015 Ford F-150 with a 5.0L V8 engine with a 50-state street legal boost in horsepower and torque for improved towing performance and better acceleration. K&N got to work developing an air intake system for the 2015 Ford F150 5.0L V8 and obtaining an Exemption Order (EO) from the California Air Resources Board (CARB) making this intake available for sale and use in California as well as other states with similar emissions standards. An air intake system, like one from K&N, is designed to increase power by significantly reducing air intake tract restriction and increasing the amount of air available to the engine. K&N does this by replacing the 2015 Ford F150 5.0L V8 engine’s stock air filter box with an open oversized K&N high-flow air filter, and eliminating the accordion flex hose stock air intake system with a smooth walled and molded K&N air intake tube. Reducing the amount of power wasted on drawing air into the engine can translate into more power where it counts; at the wheels.
First, K&N established baseline horsepower numbers on a 2015 Ford F-150 5.0L before installing a K&N air intake, and then repeated the test after installing a K&N air intake. When installed on an otherwise stock 2015 Ford F-150 5.0L, K&N 50 state street legal air intake 57-2591 produced an estimated gain of 12.74 horsepower at 4,555 RPM. Improvements in torque were also seen with the max estimated torque gain of 9.92 lb-ft occurring at a lower 3,730 RPM. K&N is so confident in its cold air intake systems that it offers a K&N air intake Horsepower Guarantee.
In addition to a guaranteed increase in horsepower, K&N backs its air filters and air intake systems with a 10-year/million mile limited warranty. K&N is confident in its products because each design undergoes rigorous testing in laboratory and real world situations.
