NPA: Brand new aFe Power Intake Design - Less Cost, More Power
aFe Power has upped it to another level with their new 2012 - 2014 Ford F-150 3.5l Ecoboost air intake system. In the never ending pursuit of performance, this is aFe Powers THIRD intake design for the Ecoboost turbo engine. This new design features a revised inlet tube feeding into one massive air filter instead of the older two filter design. The new design is easier to install and come in Polished or Wrinkle Black finishes. Not only that, aFe has slashed the price as compared to the original systems
For 2012 to 2014 F150 EcoBoosts only:
This kit will only fit 2012 to 2014 F150 EcoBoost F150s due to Ford's revised MAP sensor design.
From aFe Power:
This Stage 2 air Intake system produces an impressive 25 horsepower and 30 lbs. x ft. torque! This system uses a massive 5-1/2" washable/reusable air filter which connects to a durable 16-gauge heat shield that mounts quickly to the factory airbox increasing airflow over the stock air intake system. A 3-angle filter adapter increases air velocity after the air filter for improved performance and throttle response. The heat-insulating, black powder-coated intake tube uses a split tube design that allows the twin turbos to equally share the increased air flow using a mitered transition. This design decreases turbulence and increases velocity, resulting in increased horsepower and torque.
Manifold Air Pressure Sensor:
In 2012 Ford began using a different style Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) sensor. This intake is designed specifically to be used with the factory MAP sensor.

5-1/2” Conical Filter with Inverted Top:
This intake utilizes a huge 5-1/2" oval conical Pro 5R performance air filter with inverted top for maximum flow. This 5-layer progressive, oiled cotton gauze air filter provides maximum flow for increased horsepower and torque.
Top Mounted Heat Shield Design:
aFe developed this heat shield to snap onto the top of the lower half of the factory air box to provide a hassle-free installation utilizing factory mounting locations.

so is this better than the split filter design power wise other than the ease of install. is the other discontinued? im just confused as to why they would redesign a system that was already functioning.

The first design was just an airbox. Then they came out with the Stage 2, which had to be changed again when Ford went to a MAP sensor. With this current system there is supposedly smoother airflow and the ability to flow more CFM over the old design.
