Ford crimped the OE pipe down to nearly one inch in the tightest section, which kills flow and becomes a weak point as boost increases. We built our SPE Cold Side kit to correct that restriction, improve reliability, and give owners an option to run a proper bypass valve on later model STs that no longer include one from the factory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"683\" data-end=\"886\"\u003eThis is a direct-fit upgrade for all Explorer ST model years and replaces the fragile plastic OE pipe with a high-quality 5-ply silicone assembly designed for higher boost and improved throttle response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"888\" data-end=\"932\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"891\" data-end=\"932\"\u003eWhy the Factory Cold Side Falls Short\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"935\" data-end=\"989\"\u003eCrimped section reduces diameter to roughly one inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"992\" data-end=\"1040\"\u003eCreates a major airflow restriction under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1100\"\u003ePlastic construction is known to fail, especially tuned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1154\"\u003eLater 23–24 trucks have no bypass valve provision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1156\" data-end=\"1180\"\u003eOur kit fixes all of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-start=\"1182\" data-end=\"1201\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1185\" data-end=\"1201\"\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"129\" data-start=\"82\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"127\" data-start=\"86\"\u003eWhy the Factory Cold Side Falls Short\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"555\" data-start=\"130\"\u003eThe factory cold-side pipe has a crimped section that necks down to roughly one inch, creating a significant airflow restriction under load. Its plastic construction is also prone to failure, especially on tuned or hard-driven vehicles. To make matters worse, many 2023–2024 Explorer ST models no longer include a bypass valve provision, limiting both performance and drivability. Our kit addresses every one of these issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"596\" data-start=\"557\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"594\" data-start=\"561\"\u003e5-Ply Silicone Cold Side Pipe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"901\" data-start=\"597\"\u003eThis upgrade replaces the restrictive and failure-prone factory pipe with a durable 5-ply silicone assembly designed for higher boost and elevated temperatures. The full-diameter design improves airflow, lowers pressure drop, and provides the strength and reliability needed for stock or modified setups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"949\" data-start=\"903\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"947\" data-start=\"907\"\u003eBypass Valve Compatibility for 2023+\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1372\" data-start=\"950\"\u003eSince some 23–24 Explorer ST models rely solely on throttle blade strategy and do not include a factory bypass valve, owners lose both performance benefits and the characteristic turbo sound. This kit restores full flexibility by allowing you to run the system in factory configuration with the supplied block-off plug or install the included adapter and add a Turbosmart bypass valve for proper pressure relief and sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"1411\" data-start=\"1374\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1409\" data-start=\"1378\"\u003eReversible and Future-Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1650\" data-start=\"1412\"\u003eEven if you choose to run the system in its factory configuration initially, the kit includes the bypass adapter so you can add a valve later without additional parts.
