SHO/Flex/Explorer transverse 3.5L ecoboost cold air intake status update:
Great weekend of progress, the pipes are finalized as far as the configuration, stock connections so that all the factory hoses connect up like stock.
We had to make a modification to the way the pipe layout is so that will require rewelding both pipes with the new config but they fit AWESOME.
The factory PCV connection is there, brake booster and the boost reference hoses. The pipe bolts to a factory location on the rear of the block and the top pipe shown in the picture now includes a hump hose (now two pipes) so that there is some give to the pipe when the engine moves.
The pipes are a PITA to get into the filter, basically get the pipes connected to the turbos then push through the intake box itself into the filter then push the filter through the opening in the intake enclosure then clamp. The great thing is that it holds everything in place, bad thing is it's a little frustrating, we'll do a video on the technique. Everything else is pretty easy. You will re-use the factory rear rubber hose to the turbo and the pipe necks down from 2.5" to 2" for that rubber pipe. The front turbo gets a 1.75" to 2.5" 90 hose that will go on the turbo.
I had to order some additional 90 degree bends so the pipes can be updated, they've been ordered this morning and should arrive Wednesday.
I also had to order different silicone hoses for the front turbo, those are on back order but should be here early next week per my supplier.
My fabricator will start welding once the pipes arrive and we expect 5-10 business days to redo all the pipes.
Good news is we're 100000% closer than we were and the product is AMAZING.
On my personal side I'm out of town from July 3rd through the 9th for my renuptials to the wife for our 25th anniversary, I couldn't afford a wedding 25 years ago and so we're doing it for our silver. This has been planned for a year and it's coming at a bad time for this project. The entire family will be with us out of town so I have no one to rely on to ship if everything is done during those dates. I am sure that with no complications I will ship all orders on July 10th and 11th (there's 20 outstanding).
I truly apologize for all the delays, between the pipe bender putting us back a few weeks then it hit perfectly with fabricator having a planned vacation once the pipes arrived it really put me back about 8 weeks beyond what I expected, with the rework required that's another 3 weeks.
This has been a HUGE PITA with the rework but well worth it to give you guys a great product, please bear with me as we get through this.
Waiting for some feedback then I'll be ordering one!!
Looks real nice!
All the harnesses are back in stock! Just waiting for circuit boards to ship prefers out.
The redesign of the cold air intake for transverse 3.5L ecoboost is done, now to get the orders cranked out!

Looks killer. My hat is off to you.
My EPP CHRA’s with billet wheels turbo noise already sound nice with all stock intake. Wonder how the billet wheels sound with this intake ???!
Looks good
Nice😎
Does this CAI have any thermal insulation protection from heat soak to lower and keep the intake air charge cool?
What all changed?
Mike , link you copied does not work
Yaaasssssss
How much?!
SH0?

Progress on the cold air fitment, the pipes are already looking much better.
Looks so much better Mike. Now I wish I had waited. J2 install is brutal and still fits like trash
What are these for
You mean this is a problem?? Lol.
Happy father's day to everyone, enjoy your family every day! This is an oldie of me and the kids, they're all grown up now and will soon start their own families. I was lucky enough to be Dad, coach and friend and still am today with the help of the wife being the best partner I could have for the last 30 years.
