The Explorer 2.0L EcoBoost is a few ponies shy of being on par with the 3.5-liter base V6, but the Ford 2.0L EcoBoost promises to make up for it with increased miles per gallon

K&N improved power for 2014-2015 Ford Explorer 2.0 EcoBoost owners by replacing factory parts with performance designed parts

Although the Ford Explorer was not the first SUV, it is perhaps the vehicle that popularized the Sport Utility Vehicle for mainstream American buyers. The first generation Ford Explorer was introduced in early 1990 for the 1991 model year. The first Ford Explorer was based upon the Ford Ranger platform and shared the same 155 horsepower 4.0L V6 engine found in top of the line Ranger pickups. A lot has changed over the course of 20 years in production. Beginning with the 2011 model year, the Explorer shed its body-on-frame truck based platform for a more modern unibody design and transitioned into a Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV).

Also much different from the first Ford Explorer is the engine found under the hood. The standard engine for fifth generation Ford Explorers is a 3.5L naturally aspirated V6 rated at 290 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. This is almost twice the horsepower of the first Explorer’s engine, with less displacement. More impressive still is the Ford EcoBoost family of turbocharged engines designed to deliver horsepower and torque numbers on par with larger naturally aspirated engines while promising better fuel economy and reduced greenhouse gasses. 2014 and 2015 Ford Explorer models could be equipped with the optional 2.0-liter Ford EcoBoost engine also found in the Ford Edge, Ford Escape, Ford Fusion, and Ford Taurus.

The K&N 2014-2015 Ford Explorer 2.0 EcoBoost intake comes with an air filter heat shield which utilizes the stock fresh air inlet to direct cooler air toward the filter

In-house dyno testing of K&N air intake 77-2587KS on a 2014 Ford Explorer 2.0 EcoBoost showed estimated horsepower and torque gains of over 11 HP and 11 lb-ft of torque

While still a few ponies shy of being on par with the 3.5-liter V6, the Ford 2.0L EcoBoost promises to make up for it with increased miles per gallon. Here to help 2014-2015 Ford Explorer 2.0L EcoBoost owners seeking an extra boost in power is a K&N air intake system 77-2587KS. This air intake system improves horsepower and torque for 2014 and 2015 Ford Explorer 2.0L EcoBoost models by reducing the restriction, as well as airflow turbulence, associated with the stock air intake tract and air filter box. K&N is able to improve power delivery by replacing factory components with new parts designed for performance.

K&N 2014-2015 Ford Explorer 2.0L EcoBoost air intake system 77-2587KS, includes a new mandrel-bent aluminum air intake tube finished in silver powder coat to direct air into the engine more efficiently. To provide high airflow and low restriction, this air intake system includes a large K&N washable and reusable performance air filter. K&N air filter RF-1048 is built with K&N’s famous high-flow technology complete with excellent filtration capabilities and the ability to go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. The K&N 2014-2015 Ford Explorer 2.0 EcoBoost intake comes with an application specific air filter heat shield which utilizes the stock fresh air inlet to direct cooler air toward the filter.

The design features of the K&N 2014-2015 Ford Explorer 2.0L EcoBoost air intake system add up to impressive gains in performance on an otherwise stock 2014 Ford Explorer 2.0L turbo. In-house dyno testing of K&N air intake 77-2587KS showed estimated horsepower and torque gains of over 11 HP and 11 lb-ft of torque. Increases in horsepower and torque can come in handy even during every day driving; whether it’s for towing, passing, or just making it up a steep hill. What a dyno chart doesn’t show is the improved throttle response, better power delivery, improved drivability, and quicker acceleration that results from installing a K&N air intake system.

K&N air filters and K&N air intake systems are backed by a 10-year/million mile limited warranty to give K&N users confidence in their purchase. Taking it one step further, K&N also guarantees an increase in horsepower with a K&N air intake system. K&N air intake systems are designed to provide a bolt on performance boost without the need for further modifications. Most K&N air intake systems can be installed in 90-minutes or less using basic hand tools. K&N air intake systems typically do not require any cutting or drilling, reuse factory mounting points and hardware when possible, and include step by step installation instructions with photos.

K&N 2014-2015 Ford Explorer 2.0L air intake system 77-2587KS, is designed to increase power, improve drivability, and provide better engine sound for the following Ford Explorer models:

The K&N 33-5032 replacement air filter is designed to increase horsepower for 2015-2016 Mercedes Benz 3.0L V6 Turbo models by helping to minimize intake tract restriction and increase airflow

For almost 100 years, Mercedes Benz has been a pioneer and innovator of refined, performance automobiles. 2015 and 2016 Mercedes models continue that legacy with brilliant turbocharged 3.0 liter V6 engines, advanced driver aids, top-notch handling, and style. A car with such performance and heritage deserves aftermarket upgrades with the same credentials; such as the K&N 33-5032 2015-2016 Mercedes 3.0L V6 Turbo replacement air filter.

The 33-5032 K&N replacement air filter for Mercedes Benz models listed below is designed to increase horsepower and acceleration.

The 33-5032 K&N replacement air filter for Mercedes models represents the core of K&N’s founders’ revolutionary design with 45+ years of additional refinement

The 33-5032 K&N replacement air filter for Mercedes models is constructed with K&N’s premium oiled cotton gauze filter media. Cotton flows better than paper and synthetic media which means a performance turbocharged engine will breathe easier with a K&N air filter installed. Increased airflow is only half the story. The oil on the filter media acts as a tacking agent to capture incoming dirt and provides excellent engine protection. A precision-molded, durable urethane sealing lip houses the filter media in the 33-5032 K&N replacement air filter and creates an air-tight seal in the factory air box.

Another benefit of the superior design of K&N replacement air filters is that they are washable and reusable. Just once approximately every 50,000 miles, depending on driving conditions, remove the 33-5032 K&N filter from your Mercedes and service it with a K&N Recharger air filter service kit .

K&N replacement air filters are a simple performance upgrade over disposable air filters and most K&N air filters have a list of air filter cross references, which is especially helpful in HD Trucking applications

Imagine walking into an auto parts store to find a replacement part for your vehicle. The employee behind the counter asks for the year, make, model, and engine size and you provide the information. You tell him the part you need, only for him to say "I don't list anything." You know the part exists because it's on your vehicle, but this auto parts employee can't help you. The system doesn't have the information. Does this scenario sound familiar? Many of us have been there.

K&N replacement air filters are an easy-to-install performance upgrade, designed to fit like it came from the factory, but with the added benefit of being washable/reusable and last up to 1 million miles

K&N knows this struggle, which is why an air filter cross reference of part numbers is helpful in finding a replacement air filter for your vehicle. An air filter cross reference is especially helpful when automotive manufacturers make mid-year changes, when searching by vehicle does not return any results, when trying to find heavy duty diesel/RV air filters, or if you have a heavily customized vehicle that is a mixture of multiple donor cars. K&N makes it easier to find a K&N replacement air filter for your vehicle with an air filter cross reference listing.

K&N goes to great lengths in the research and development of all of its replacement air filters to provide an exacting fit along with a robust air filter cross reference to factory, and other aftermarket air filters. Each K&N factory replacement air filter is precision-engineered to provide a positive fit and seal in the factory air box. K&N designs air filters around the factory air box lid and base and while the factory filter isn't used in development, it does however create an air filter cross reference to the factory part number.

K&N goes to even greater detail than this in manufacturing its replacement air filters. The shape of the sealing lip, as well as the overall exterior dimensions, plays an important part in ensuring an air-tight seal. This proper seal is combined with 4-6 layers of K&N's famous oiled-cotton air filter media. The media is pleated between two layers of wire mesh with a pleat count and depth chosen to provide outstanding airflow as well as filtration efficiency.

K&N replacement air filters are an easy-to-install performance upgrade, designed to fit like it came from the factory, but with the ability to increase horsepower and acceleration. K&N replacement air filters are backed by a 10-year/million mile limited warranty. K&N air filters are washable and reusable and can go up to 50,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions.

While K&N does not recommend cross reference as a 100% positive means of ensuring proper fitment and function, it is a great tool in finding an air filter when application-specific listings come up short. Cross references should be used for comparison of filters with similar dimensions. The user assumes all responsibility for verifying that filters are compatible with their application before using these products. Damage may result if the user fails to ensure that the filter is compatible and seals properly before installing the product or operating the engine. First, try to find an air filter for your application using K&N's Search By Vehicle tool, but if that doesn't yield the desired results, try K&N's air filter cross reference. Find an authorized K&N dealer, online, or near you by using the K&N Dealer Search function.

The Macan requires two E-0660 air filters- one for the passenger’s side and one for the driver’s side. Porsche designed uniquely-shaped air boxes on the Macan and the E-0660 replacement air filter fits and functions brilliantly. The E-0660 K&N performance replacement air filter is designed to increase horsepower and acceleration. A large filtration surface area helps minimize restriction in the airflow pathway and provides long service intervals. The oiled-cotton gauze in the 2015 and 2016 Porsche Macan replacement air filter not only helps to flow more air, but also provides excellent filtration efficiency and engine protection.
