2015-2016 Ford Expedition & Lincoln Navigator Get More Power With K&N Air Intake
- May 4, 2017
While all that power certainly made for an impressive 0-60 time of 6.2 seconds, it also provides for 6,600 lbs. of trailer-towing capacity. Chevrolet continues to go down the V8 route with its successful LS series engines. Powering the competitive Chevy Tahoe SUV is the Bow Tie’s 5.3L V8, which produces 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. Properly equipped the Tahoe has a trailer-towing capacity of 6,600 lbs., identical to the Expedition and Navigator.
The K&N 57-2595 cold air intake is a free-flowing air induction system designed to replace the restrictive factory air filter and air intake tubing on some 2015-2016 Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator 3.5L models to increase performance and response. The air intake system comes with a high-flow K&N RC-5173 air filter and an aerodynamically-engineered intake tube. The system easily connects to your vehicle’s factory engine throttle body to dramatically increase air flow into your engine. This FIPK Air Intake System accommodates the factory air temperature sensor.
The other key is the rotationally molded tube made from interlaced high density polyethylene (HDPE). Utilizing this material permits K&N to precisely shape the tube to reduce turbulence and accelerate airflow into the engine. It also provides the ability to develop tubes with unique shapes that are specifically engineered for each application, like that of the Expedition and the Navigator. The results are impressive. On a chassis dynamometer, a 2016 Ford Expedition recorded 268 horsepower at the wheels. A K&N 57-2595 FIPK air intake system was then fitted and the SUV retested. With only the change to the intake, horsepower had jumped to 275, an estimated increase of seven horsepower at the wheels. Similar results were measured for torque, rising from 345 ft-lb to 351 ft-lb. Plus, drivability and response have been improved.
The oversized air filter also captures and holds more dirt increasing the service life before a cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles, depending on driving conditions). When it’s time to clean your filter, the K&N Recharger Kit 99-5000 has everything you’ll need. The kit comes with K&N Power Kleen air filter cleaner and K&N air filter oil. Apply K&N Power Kleen to dissolve dirt build up and old filter oil, rinse with water, dry, then apply fresh filter oil to your air filter and reinstall it. If you consistently drive in dirty, dusty, or wet conditions, consider a K&N RC-5173DK air filter wrap, which is a silicone treated, polyester wrap that is made to cover K&N air filters and provide additional protection without impeding airflow. The K&N 57-2595 FIPK air intake systems are CARB exempt and legal for use on the streets of all 50 US states. They also come with K&N's 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty. The 57-2595 is designed to fit the following vehicles: 2016 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR 3.5L V6 Fuel Injection - All Models | ||||
