Just swapped out my AFE intake for the V2 and the sound difference is major. I have a thermal R and D exhaust with custom Downpipes. The quality of the V2 is unparalleled. He includes every little thing you need and it’s all high quality. I went with the red piping and the amount of space and the way it looks is frikn awesome. This video is so helpful as are all Travis’ videos. Don’t even question your decision……get the V2.
Great video as always! My wife just got an Aviator, looks like the exact motor🤭😇. I was researching the first mod decided on cold air. I’m glad my Texan brother has a video on all 3 of the ones I was looking into. I’m going to pick one up soon. Once I get the high flow cars and inter cooler I’ll pull the trigger on the tune
@@HoustonSpeedFreaks you got the best one out now man, makes up for it lol. How do you like the in cab noise from that thing though? I think they sound insane
I’m interested to know if there are different and intake air temperatures between the S&B and this one. the metal tends to pick up a lot more heat from what industry has been saying for a long time
I was going to ask if you ever planned on getting to the hot side pipes, but you just stated it while I was watching. I have mine in the box still. Looks like I’ll have to take the AFe out to get it down. This kit looks amazing. But the $$$
It’s pricey but worth every penny in my opinion Brett’s quality is top notch! And that’s correct you’d have to take out the box to get to the hotside charge pipe😅
It’s actually a few degrees cooler as it’s not sitting in a box in the middle of the hot engine bay. Also picked up a little over a tenth in my quarter mile time.
@@HoustonSpeedFreaksI’ve been looking at getting the v2 but realistically how often do you clean and re oil the oiled filters vs can you get dry filters for these?
@HoustonSpeedFreaks So the afe intake had a spot for the bov bypass hose that connected to driver side intake pipe, this intake does not....could it be that?
Love your videos and content! They are so helpful for someone who is getting a 25 ST and looking forward to doing some bolt on upgrades! How are your 295/45R20s on the 20x10 rims? No issues with rubbing? What springs are you on? Thanks for your contribution to the explorer community!
Thank you for watching and supporting the channel 🙏 I do have 25 content coming too 🤫 no rubbing at all I love my 20s and I’m on Ebaich springs 😁 if you need any parts feel more than free to reach out to me would love to be apart of your build 😁
@@HoustonSpeedFreaks Il'll be sure to do that! The only addon I'm concerned about is a catch can. I live in Southern Manitoba (just North of North Dakota) and our winters can get pretty cold here at -22F/-30C or even colder. ST will be parked in an attached but unheated garage which will sit around 15F/-10C. Not sure if running a catch can in the winter is something that I should be doing? I'm looking at UPR's dual valve catch can but figured I should just remove it mid fall when things start to freeze and reinstall in the spring. I'm still learning, never modified a vehicle before but all the possibilities with the explorer ST was just too good to pass up! Hopefully the 25 ECU will be cracked so it can actually be tuned.
@Rhino1188 welcome to modify cars man! I meet a lot of first timers on this platform and love it. You should be okay to run a catch can year round with no ill effects. And I heard they are working on it really hard and it should be real soon for them to be unlocked
@CANgRi_10TV S&B vs v2 fenfab mobile has truly tested them head on head I was going to but most people frown upon putting two different companies head to head

Thank you brother I truly appreciate the kind words! I absolutely love my v2 intake! My favorite one I’ve owned

These aren’t a cold air intake though.
@CornFed_3 and the heat soaked box is…
@@HoustonSpeedFreaks I think he means the plastic won’t soak up heat like metal.
ZFG it works.
I have it installed in my aviator.. just note, it's a tight squeeze, since body isn't same as Explorer ST...
I have the first V2 made and absolutely love it. My car is photoed on your website and Bretts lol!
Dude that’s badass!!!
Always locked in 🥹🫶🏿
Got to be 💪
I'm definitely changing mine out from the S&B as well. Except I'm going with red.
Do it you’ll love it man ❤️
@@HoustonSpeedFreaks Travis, do you have the FenFab hot side install video yet? I'm ordering the full hot & cold side pipes now.
Dope video Travis!!!
Thank you 🙏
Gotta have more sound clips. I have v1 seeing if its a noticeable enough to swap out
I’ll get some real soon😁
I’m so glad I waited for the V2. It’s such a clean set up. Does Brett do custom powder coating colors or did you have someone else do yours?
If you bug him enough he will do custom colors I know most just do them their self😅
Let me get that S&B lol. Great video once again!
It sold as I was pulling it off to make the video 😅
lol I was thinking the same
2020 ST just bought today!! What performance parts should I go for first!!??
Intercooler first 😁 hit me up and check out my website Houstonspeedfreaks.com I’ll gladly point you in the right direction.
Another great video .... when are your upgraded lights going to be back in stock ?
Currently assembling them should be back up and live on the website on Tuesday 😁
Great install video man, there wasn’t anything out when I put mine on…took me a little bit
Yeah I was late to the game 😅
@@HoustonSpeedFreaks you got the best one out now man, makes up for it lol. How do you like the in cab noise from that thing though? I think they sound insane
@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot69 oh yeah it outperforms the S&B too from the data I took lol and sounds insane lol
I’m interested to know if there are different and intake air temperatures between the S&B and this one. the metal tends to pick up a lot more heat from what industry has been saying for a long time
Mine are 3/5 degrees down from what the s&B was and I’ve picked up over a 1/10th of a second in the quarter mile switching over
@@HoustonSpeedFreaks thanks for sharing the data brother
Anytime 😁
you changed the ecu cover! It's white - it was red when you did the S&B. FenFab white ecu backing plate matching the white intake? 😁
I should get him to do that for me but I have a carbon ecu cover on the car it’s starting to yellow though so I’m about to ditch it
I’m thinking about switching from S&b to fenfab, are there any concerns in regards to the filters getting wet driving in hard rains?
There haven’t been any concerns of the filters getting wet in heavy rain. I haven’t seen anyone have an issue yet
Gotta get some nice long white pipes for myself!
Ayooo 😂
Wouldn't the S&B keep the filters cleaner? And does this allow for better airflow when the 2 are compared?
I was going to ask if you ever planned on getting to the hot side pipes, but you just stated it while I was watching. I have mine in the box still. Looks like I’ll have to take the AFe out to get it down.
This kit looks amazing. But the $$$
It’s pricey but worth every penny in my opinion Brett’s quality is top notch! And that’s correct you’d have to take out the box to get to the hotside charge pipe😅
How are the intake air temps now that it’s pulling more hot engine bay air? Any difference?
It’s actually a few degrees cooler as it’s not sitting in a box in the middle of the hot engine bay. Also picked up a little over a tenth in my quarter mile time.
@@HoustonSpeedFreaksI’ve been looking at getting the v2 but realistically how often do you clean and re oil the oiled filters vs can you get dry filters for these?
Code being thrown after install; boost sensor "A" circuit high. Any idea?
You broke your map sensor on your intercooler, seen it happen more than once
@HoustonSpeedFreaks So the afe intake had a spot for the bov bypass hose that connected to driver side intake pipe, this intake does not....could it be that?
@@HoustonSpeedFreaks well I checked...spot on bro. Broke as fuck

Have you gotten any Dyno data to show the efficacy of the mods you’ve installed? Better or worse than stock?
What is the Difference between the 2?
Between the v1 and v2 or the v2 and fenfab
@@HoustonSpeedFreaks the v2 vs fenfab. Does one make more hp when tuned?
@CANgRi_10TV S&B vs v2 fenfab mobile has truly tested them head on head I was going to but most people frown upon putting two different companies head to head
@@HoustonSpeedFreaks but which one makes more hp?
Are the IAT better/worse/same with this setup over the box?
I’ve noticed 3/5 degrees better and gained a little over a 10th a second in the quarter miles switching to this intake.
@@HoustonSpeedFreaks ugh I hate the style of it but results are results 😂
@GAMEOV3RR I honestly didn’t care for it at first but I love it and love the way it looks
There's a car show down at the brewery this morning
Which brewery?
Hard to install with oem parts?
No not hard at all 😁
@@HoustonSpeedFreaks Does it affect the driveline?
@ScaniaDronninga no it’s the intake but I don’t know if it fits hybrid models
@@HoustonSpeedFreaks is there any reasson it shouldnt?
Giggidy...
