Explorer ST S&B Intake Install

[@lucian7182]

I ended up using a hose clamp on the intake tub that come from the snorkel to the airbox. Sit in the box snug and secure.

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Yes that is a good idea honestly! I’ve heard they updated the box to fix the issue but haven’t verified it

[@lucian7182]

@@HoustonSpeedFreaks I spoke with them last week to get some replacement filters. They said they actually started supplying a couple extra hose clamps to do just that.

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

@lucian7182 that makes sense lol

[@MrJustyntime704]

Got the same intake. Idk why it gets some hate ive seen on some forums. It's overall a nicer unit, imo. The lid on the filter box is what sold me. The unit has been flawless!

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

I completely agree the fit and finish and over all look is super nice!

[@nyatzz508]

Thanks for the install vid. I'll be ready to install it after I get the lights I just ordered installed!

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Hell yeah! I really really appreciate your support man 😁

[@denismanace]

What's up dude. Do you remember if the air box on S&B was air tight? Is there gaps where pipes are coming in to air box ?

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Yes sir it was tight the filters seal to box.

[@denismanace]

@@HoustonSpeedFreaks thank you

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

@denismanace anytime man 😁

[@denismanace]

@@HoustonSpeedFreaks cool cool 👌

[@mushudragonusa2014]

Do you recommend installing the FenFab coolant tank before installing the cold air intake? Does it make it easier or harder?

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Don’t necessarily make it any easier to be honest the intake doesn’t really get in the way

[@MikeA2990]

Is there any feed back from Adam yet on the overall numbers?? Either way this SB looks way better might get this one

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Official word was it moves your waste gate duty cycle roughly 10% which make room for more powa baby 😏😁

[@wh876]

Hey Travis, does the cold air intake draw air from that pink piece you put on in the intercooler video? That sits in front in front of the intercooler? Is that where the air is drawn from and then goes thru the filters to the turbos? I see on your website you sell the cfb intercooler? When you installed the intercooler is there enough room to leave the shudders in place? Or do they need to be taken out? Do you by chance sell the s&b intakes as well? Also, have you ever had any code or alarm thrown from the intercooler on the dash? Thanks,

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Hey brother yes the pink this is from velossatech I have them on my Website now. I have had no codes related to the intercooler and you don’t need to remove your shudders it was just a personal choice of me deciding to do that 😁

[@Rcklss.ExplorerST]

What’s up dude, got a link for the badges? Would love a black/blue for my ST!

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Hey man if you need badges I’d highly recommend hitting up Dan Cordoba dude does awesome work and you can tell him I sent you 😁

[@mushudragonusa2014]

Nowadays in 2024, the s&B intake is almost $100 cheaper than the AFE which is phenomenal!

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

This is true but also it stays on back order as well

[@mushudragonusa2014]

Yeah, I learned that the hard way!

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

😂😂😂

[@OhThatsJustGoob]

Another great install video!!!

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Appreciate it a lot brother ❤️

[@1SlowST]

Great video man! Mine will be here Thursday. Can’t wait to install it. Did Adam say how long before he had the data log back? I know currently the AFe outflows the FenFab set up.

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

No word yet, I appreciate it man 😁 I have a feeling this will out flow afe it’s quiet a bit bigger than the afe

[@1SlowST]

@@HoustonSpeedFreaks I’m thinking the same thing! I don’t think numbers will change much. But power band might look better! S&B really did a good job utilizing all the space they could.

[@byeager21]

Im finally getting my S&B tomorrow. Is it work having Adam send me a revision? Running his e50 tune now for about a year.

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

He’s changed a bit in a year I would say yes as it’s not to expensive to get a revision 😁

[@jjlopez27jl]

What rims are you using? I can't tell from the thumbnail.

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

TSW launch editions 20x10 with a plus 25 offset

[@LIGMAFB]

What was the difference between the AFE & S&B when it came to how the log looked? Were any tune changes made?

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

S&B flows better than afe on the logs for the top end 😁

[@denismanace]

Question. Those AFE Dry Flow and would they fit S&B piping ?

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Negative S&B piping is bigger than the afes

[@denismanace]

@@HoustonSpeedFreaks thanks bro

[@mushudragonusa2014]

I'm running into an issue with my S&B where the bottom pipe which connects to the front ram intake keeps falling off of the airbox. Does anybody have a fix for this?

[@Pawe70zga]

What is that nipple cover for? and can i instal the fen fab charge pipe with a bov?

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

20/21 explorers had a tune that plugs in there 22+ don’t. And yes sir this intake works with fenfabs stuff

[@Pawe70zga]

Did u get a check engine, i just instaled mine started reved few times it was fine and now started again n got check engine on

[@loganloganloganable]

how comes you got the s and b over the fenfab v2

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Fenfab v2 wasn’t out at the time I made this video unfortunately

[@shaneport]

Great video! Looks awesome 👍🏻

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Thank you man 🙏😁

[@rossmarlin4947]

How often do you need to clean the cones

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Honestly once every few months minimum I would say twice a year. I check mine every oil change while I’m under the hood

[@rossmarlin4947]

@@HoustonSpeedFreaks Where can I find the cleaning kit

[@rossmarlin4947]

@@HoustonSpeedFreaks Do u feel it's a better choice instead of the AFE

[@lucian7182]

How long did it take you to get yours. I ordered mine 20 days ago. Everytime I call they tell me another week, or another two weeks.

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Did you get piled or dry filters? I was told the dry filters were on back order

[@lucian7182]

@@HoustonSpeedFreaks I got the dry filter . I’m down in az and the oiled filters don’t do well out here in a daily hahaha. Biweekly sand storms and all.

[@sloexplorerst4511]

My real question is do you got a jack

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Lmao I have two ask Tyler I bought him and he still hasn’t even used it!!! What a waste

Do these still throw check engine light after install ik the afe do thats the only thing holding me back from picking one up

[@JoseAngel-je7ug]

No they do not, I have it on my 22 , I’m also not tuned and I have no check engine light.

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

My afe never threw a code at all and this one hasn’t thrown a code either.

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

It was sold before it left the car 😅

@@HoustonSpeedFreaks damn

[@T-eee-L]

Unless it adds more HP it’s pointless to change it out from the aFe. Need someone to do some dyno tests, I say you do it 😂

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

Already sent data logs of both the afe and S&B to Adam to see if one make a noticeable difference in the power band mainly switched for the aesthetics as it looks way better in my opinion

[@T-eee-L]

@@HoustonSpeedFreaks I have the aFe and you’re 100% correct that the S&B looks much better. Keep us posted on what Adam says!

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

@T-eee-L I definitely will man💪

[@Pawe70zga]

​@@HoustonSpeedFreaksdo we have an answer from Adam?

[@rhinowashere]

Everyone keeps calling this an intake...... Isn't it really just your filter box? The intake should be bolted firmly to the top of the motor????

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

That would be your intake manifold And intake is where the engine intakes air to feed the engine. But you aren’t wrong it could be called a filter box too.

[@Andry-ro7nq]

What's worse than Afe?

[@HoustonSpeedFreaks]

In order from worst to best in my opinion Oem K&N AFE S&B And the best is fenfab V2

Stock charge pipes 👀
