  • Direct bolt-on replacement - no modification required
  • 85 degree reduction in Charge Air Temperature observed in real-world conditions (charts below)
  • Includes 2.75" cold-side and 2.25" hot-side pipes that outflow OEM by 28% and 15%
  • Eliminates the crumped section of the OEM intercooler pipe (cold-side) which restricts airflow from the intercooler to the throttle body
  • 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 (intercooler)
  • TIG-welded bar-and-plate construction (intercooler)
  • CVF Lifetime Warranty

LESS HEAT, MORE POWER
The CVF Performance Intercooler for 2020-2023 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.
The Aluminum Pipe Kit expands the OEM dimensions and outflows the OEM cold-side pipe by 28% and hot-side pipes by 15%. The kit includes CVF-branded 4-ply couplers and T-Bolt clamps.

      Support leg mod for FPIU owners

      Great intercooler! I had to modify the lower support legs, due to the interceptor having an oil cooler that the ST doesn't. Would be nice if you offered a different set of supports for us FPIU owners . Thanks for a quality product guys !

      Tighter than Fort Knox

      Haven’t had a chance to install yet but the packaging the intercooler came in is top notch. I’ve had an intercooler core for my last car come in with everything else I ordered stuffed in the same box. No serious damage however there were ALOT of bent fins front and back. This IC core looks perfect! Not one bent fin. Shipping was super fast as well. Took two days to get to my doorstep.

      Solid kit, exceptional performance.

      The kit came with no missing pieces and no fitment issues. I installed it by myself in an afternoon. The build quality is great. Before / after datalogs show a 57*F reduction in charge temps. That is nuts!

      No instructions came in the kit, but I made an install video you can follow along with:

      25 intercooler bundle

      Ordered the bundle package and just got it in. I haven’t put it on yet but super excited about putting it on tomorrow. After reading reviews and watching videos I knew cvfab was the place to order my intercooler. The sales team was super fast to respond to questions and getting the product out to me. I want to thank everyone at cvfab for all the help and for being an awesome company to work with.

      quality kit

      Haven't installed it yet but it was all packaged well, I unpacked the intercooler and its a beast and the quality seems very good. The hot and cold size piping that is required for the 25's are very nice, I like the finish of the powder coat. Can't wait to put it on
