aFe BladeRunner Aluminum Hot and Cold Charge Pipe Kit, Red, Part Number 46-20654-R, for Ford Explorer ST and Lincoln Aviator 3.0L V6

Smooth transitions in the mandrel-bent aluminum pipes decrease turbulence and minimize pressure loss, increasing horsepower and torque. This charge pipe kit provides a smooth transition between the turbo and the engine for lower operating temperatures and increased power. This kit includes high-quality, stainless-steel, SmartSeal clamps and heavy-duty, 5-ply, polyester reinforced silicone couplings for superior strength and durability. Finished in textured red powder coating with a unique laser-etched aFe POWER logo for a custom look.

• Features Premium Stainless-Steel SmartSeal Clamps And 5-Ply Silicone Couplings
• 1/8" NPT Ports are Provided for Connecting Sensors or Water Methanol Injection
• TIG-Welded 2-1/4" Hot Side and 2-3/4" Cold Side Aluminum Pipes
• Powder Coated Textured Red for Heat and Corrosion Resistance
• Built in CNC Machined Aluminum Blow Off Valve Adapter

Upgrade the forced-induction air path in your compatible Ford Explorer ST or Lincoln Aviator with the aFe BladeRunner aluminum hot and cold charge pipe kit. Designed for turbocharged 3.0L V6 applications, this kit replaces restrictive factory charge pipes with TIG-welded aluminum tubing that promotes smoother airflow between the turbocharger and engine. Reduced turbulence and pressure loss can support improved throttle response, horsepower, and torque while helping lower charge-air operating temperatures.

The kit includes a 2-1/4-inch hot-side pipe and a 2-3/4-inch cold-side pipe, finished in textured red powder coating for added heat and corrosion resistance. High-quality stainless-steel SmartSeal clamps and heavy-duty five-ply, polyester-reinforced silicone couplings provide secure connections and long-term durability. A CNC-machined aluminum blow-off valve adapter is integrated into the system, while 1/8-inch NPT ports provide connection points for sensors or water-methanol injection equipment. The laser-etched aFe POWER logo adds a distinctive custom appearance.

Engineered for direct replacement installation, the aFe BladeRunner charge pipe kit is designed for select 2020–2021 Ford Explorer ST and Lincoln Aviator models equipped with the 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 engine. Verify vehicle application before ordering. This product is not CARB approved and may not be legal for use on pollution-controlled vehicles in some jurisdictions.
