S&B Filters Cold Air Intake for Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6 Twin-Turbo (2023+)

More Air. More Turbo. More Raptor.

The factory airbox on the Next-Gen Ford Ranger Raptor does a reasonable job of keeping things quiet and meeting emissions standards — but it’s not designed with performance in mind. The S&B Filters Cold Air Intake replaces the restrictive OEM system with a purpose-built enclosed airbox and massive high-flow filter, delivering a proven 45.79% increase in airflow over stock. More air into those twin turbos means faster spool, sharper throttle response, and a properly rewarding induction sound every time you get on it.

This is a genuine bolt-on upgrade that requires no tuning, no cutting, and no modifications to the engine bay. It fits the 2024+ Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6 Twin-Turbo EcoBoost and is fully compatible with both standard and Stage 2 tuned vehicles.

Performance & Design Features

• 45.79% Airflow Improvement: Dyno-tested and proven over the stock intake system. Greater airflow volume allows the twin turbos to spool faster and maintain higher efficiency throughout the rev range.
• Aggressive Induction Sound: Removing the factory sound baffles unlocks a deeper, more aggressive induction note along with satisfying turbo spool amplification on boost.
• Enclosed Cold Air Airbox: The fully sealed airbox with large front air scoop draws cool, dense air from outside the engine bay rather than recirculating hot underbonnet air — essential for maintaining power in all conditions and preventing heat soak.
• Massive High-Flow Air Filter: One of the largest filters available for this platform, available in two versions:
  • Oiled Cotton Cleanable: Maximum airflow and performance. Washable and reusable for the life of the vehicle.
  • Dry Extendable: Oil-free filtration, ideal for dusty environments or those who prefer a maintenance-free service life.
• Revolutionary Snap-In Lid: S&B’s tool-less lid design snaps in and out without screws, making filter inspection and servicing quicker and easier than any competing system.
• Premium Silicone Construction: The intake tube and couplers are built from durable silicone rubber — resistant to cracking, with exceptional tear strength and temperature tolerance up to 204°C — significantly more durable than the factory plastic components.

Installation

• Bolt-On Fit: Uses OEM connection points for a factory-like installation with no cutting, drilling, or modifications required.
• 30-Minute Install: Straightforward enough to complete at home with basic hand tools.
• No Tune Required: Works perfectly with the factory ECU calibration and is also fully compatible with Stage 1 and Stage 2 tuned Raptors.
• S&B Guarantee: Backed by S&B Filters’ industry-leading quality guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my 2024+ Next-Gen Ford Ranger Raptor?
Yes. This intake is specifically engineered for the 2024 and newer Ford Ranger Raptor fitted with the 3.0L V6 Twin-Turbo EcoBoost engine. It uses OEM connection points and is a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory airbox.

Which filter should I choose — Oiled Cotton Cleanable or Dry Extendable?
Both filters offer excellent filtration and performance. The Oiled Cotton Cleanable filter provides slightly higher peak airflow and is washable and reusable indefinitely, making it the better long-term value option for most road and track use. The Dry Extendable filter is oil-free, which makes it a better choice for dusty or off-road environments where oiling a filter isn’t practical, and it requires no cleaning — just replacement when needed.

Does this intake work with a Stage 1 or Stage 2 tune?
Yes, fully compatible. The S&B intake is actually one of the required hardware upgrades for our Stage 2 package for the Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6, and it works seamlessly with Stage 1 ECU calibrations too. No additional tuning changes are required when fitting this intake alone.

Do I need a tune to run this intake?
No. The S&B intake is designed to work perfectly with the factory ECU calibration straight out of the box. You’ll notice improved throttle response and induction sound immediately without any remapping required.

Will this affect my Ford warranty?
Any aftermarket modification may be queried by a dealer in the context of a warranty claim. The S&B intake is a non-invasive bolt-on part that does not alter the ECU or any mechanical components, which generally makes it less likely to affect warranty coverage than tuning products. We recommend checking with your Ford dealer if warranty retention is a priority.

How often does the filter need servicing?
The Oiled Cotton Cleanable filter should be inspected every 25,000–30,000 miles under normal driving conditions, or more frequently in dusty or off-road environments. Cleaning is straightforward — S&B’s Snap-In Lid means you can remove and inspect the filter in seconds without any tools. The Dry Extendable filter requires no cleaning and is simply replaced when it reaches the end of its service life.

How difficult is it to install?
Very straightforward. The S&B intake uses the factory mounting points and OEM connections throughout, so no drilling, cutting, or modifications are required. Most owners complete the install in around 30 minutes with basic hand tools. If you’d prefer us to fit it, we offer a fitting service — get in touch to discuss booking.

Is this the same intake required for the Stage 2 package?
Yes. If you’re planning to run our Ranger Raptor Stage 2 package, this S&B intake is one of the four required hardware upgrades. Fitting it now means you’re already one step closer to Stage 2 when you’re ready to go further.
