  • Direct bolt-on replacement - no modification required
  • 85 degree reduction in Charge Air Temperature observed in real-world conditions (charts below)
  • 214% greater volume and 260% greater frontal area compared to the OEM intercooler (cooling area is 26.5" x 15.75" x 2")
  • High-flow cast end tanks (featuring the CVF logo) ensure considerably better airflow efficiency than welded aluminum
  • TIG-welded bar-and-plate construction
  • CVF Lifetime Warranty

LESS HEAT, MORE POWER
The CVF Performance Intercooler for 2020-2024 Ford Explorer ST is a direct fit replacement that is over two times the size of the stock unit. As the charts above indicate, during independent testing we've observed a reduction of over 85 degrees in Charge Air Temperature where it matters: on the street, and not at the dyno (the same vehicle under similar conditions for both the OEM and CVF Performance Intercooler runs).
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 fully cast end tanks to ensure maximum flow of air into the unit and out to your turbo - equaling more HP. As with all of our products, the Performance Intercooler is covered under our Lifetime Warranty against manufacturer's defects.
    APPLICATION AND INSTALLATION

    • 2020-2024 Ford Explorer ST

      Holy massive FMIC

      This thing is huge and heavy! Packaged really well. Solid and quality instruction you can see right out the box. Instalation is very straight forward and it fits perfectly. Highly recommend this intercooler for anyone looking for a good upgrade.

      Intercooler Explorer ST

      All of very good quality, super easy to install. It is more difficult to uninstall the front of the car. The engine feels more powerful. 100% RECOMMENDED

      Excellent!

      The fit and finish of this intercooler is top notch. Did the install myself. Took a while but most of the time was spent disassembling and reassembling the front end. The actual intercooler portion only took about 20 minutes. The ST now does back to back pulls on the highway without any heat soak downtime. I love it. Definitely the most important upgrade for the ST.
