Upgrade your 2016-2020 Ford F-150 5.0L V8 with the K&N NextGen Aluminum Cold Air Intake. Gain up to 14.6 HP and 67% increased airflow—no tune required!

Upgrade your 2016–2020 Ford F-150 5.0L V8 with the K&N NextGen Aluminum Cold Air Intake to unlock up to 14.6 horsepower and 16.5 lb-ft of torque with no ECU tuning required.

Engineered specifically for the 5.0L V8 engine, this high-performance system replaces your truck's restrictive factory intake with a smooth American 6063 mandrel-bent aluminum tube. By smoothing out airflow pathways, it increases air volume delivered to your engine by up to 67%.

The system features a custom NextGen heat-shield airbox designed to isolate intake air from hot engine bay temperatures, ensuring cooler, denser air enters the combustion chamber. Paired with a legendary washable, reusable High-Flow oiled cotton filter, this intake delivers superior engine protection while allowing up to 100,000 miles between filter cleanings under normal driving conditions. Installation takes less than 60 minutes using factory mounting points.
