Your 6.8L Triton V10 was built to pull 12,000 pounds up a grade without breaking a sweat — 310 horsepower, 425 lb-ft of torque. But Ford buried that engine's breathing behind a plastic maze of resonators and baffles designed for one thing: keeping the V10 whisper-quiet in a work truck.

This cold air intake system replaces the restrictive upper intake section with mandrel-bent black powder-coated aluminum tubing and a high-flow dry cone filter, while retaining the factory lower cold air ducting. The result? The V10 finally gets the airflow it deserves. Throttle response sharpens noticeably under load, the intake growl deepens into something that actually sounds like ten cylinders, and you get a modest 5-10 WHP gain — honest numbers for a workhorse engine that prioritizes torque over peak horsepower.

Installation is a direct bolt-on with no cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications required. All hardware, couplers, and clamps are included. Expect 45-90 minutes with basic hand tools, and the kit is fully reversible. Whether you're towing a fifth-wheel through the Rockies or just tired of the V10 sounding like a vacuum cleaner, this intake wakes up the Triton without compromising reliability.

Key Features

Black powder-coated aluminum intake tube — mandrel-bent for smooth airflow, corrosion-resistant finish stands up to under-hood heat and road salt

High-flow dry cone filter — no oil required, washable and reusable, clean every 15,000-20,000 miles

Heat shield included — helps reduce heat soak at idle and low-speed towing

Retains factory lower cold air intake box — pulls cooler air from the fender well rather than hot engine bay air

Improved throttle response under load — noticeable when towing, hauling, or merging onto highways

Deeper intake sound — the V10's induction note finally matches its displacement

Direct bolt-on installation — no cutting, drilling, or permanent modifications, fully reversible

Compatible with factory sensors (MAF/IAT) — retains OEM sensor mounting locations

Complete hardware kit included — couplers, clamps, brackets, and mounting hardware
