LESS HEAT, MORE POWER
The CVF Performance Intercooler for 2013-2019 Ford Explorer is a direct fit replacement considerably larger than the stock unit. As the charts above indicate, during independent testing we've observed a reduction of over 35 degrees in Charge Air Temperature where it matters most: on the street, and not at the dyno (the same vehicle under similar conditions for both the OEM and CVF Performance Intercooler runs). By completely eliminating the heat soak suffered with the OEM unit you are able to increase your MPG', towing efficiency, and top-end performance.
EXCEPTIONAL CONSTRUCTION FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY
Manufactured from top-grade aluminum, the CVF Performance Intercooler features a TIG-welded bar-and-plate design for maximum durability and end tanks featuring the CVF logo to ensure maximum flow of air into the unit and out to your turbo - equaling more top-line power and significantly reduced heat soak.

      Worth all of the trouble, makes your explorer faster

      Only ended up doing this mod to my 2016 ford explorer platinum because I hit a deer and I would be taking everything apart anyways… before I bought this product people in the reviews had said try and do one cut to save time, it felt like I had to cut way more of the radiator support shroud than other people.1st problem in encountered was when trying to fit the intercooler (already a snug fit) the bottom of it was hitting my ac condenser/transmission cooler, has to egg out some holes to drop it down about a half inch for the intercooler to fit and have some wiggle room(in photos). 2nd problem I encountered was that the tubes off the intercooler wouldn’t want to fit around my radiator(stock aftermarket radiator) had to trim some of the excess on the end tanks(9th pic, didn’t take photo, cut trimmed little bit off the c clip where a bolt goes through and some of the support) after doing all of that I was finally able to fit it around the radiator, definitely wouldn’t have hurt to have the intercooler tubes specifically the passenger side port could be moved spaced over 5mm so I wouldn’t have had to do trimming to the radiator. 3rd problem was after I had done all the trimming and had the intercooler all mounted in I went to put my horn back on and well they didn’t fit right,(in photos) ended up cutting the mount and drilling a hole to have it sit in the right spot.

      Other than those few hiccups and I figured there would be some, I am extremely impressed with the performance…

      nice addition to other mods

      This intercooler is a nice addition to my 13 sport.. Im getting ready to upgrade turbos and other things. I figured a intercooler was in store.. At half the price of other coolers, and watching it actually work on my sct tuner. I can see the temps drop soon as i get into boost.. easily drops 10* on just trying to speed up, let alone making a pull.. this cooler has to be at least 50% larger.. plus the efficiency its a win all around! pretty impressive from the size.

      ‘16 Explorer Sport Intercooler

      Great build quality, would definitely recommend. Very Noticeable difference on the top end and power stays on after driving around a while which obviously means less heat soak. Like someone else mentioned don’t be shy trimming the radiator support or you’ll be messing with it much longer than necessary.

      Great quality!

      Installed it this morning on my wife's 2017 Explorer Sport. Took about 3.5 hours by myself, that's from start to test drive. The 2 most difficult parts of the install was getting the houses off the old intercooler, and figuring out how much of the plastic shroud I needed to cut to make it fit. Don't be shy with your dremel or cutting tool, just go for it the 1st time!
