K&N AirCharger Cold Air Intake System - 2022-2024 Ford Maverick 2.0L EcoBoost

Overview

The K&N 63-2618 AirCharger Performance Cold Air Intake System is a direct-fit, bolt-on upgrade engineered specifically for the 2021–2024 Ford Bronco Sport and 2022–2024 Ford Maverick equipped with the 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder engine. Replacing the restrictive OEM airbox and factory air filter, this 63 Series AirCharger is K&N's latest-generation intake design — delivering a guaranteed increase in horsepower and torque right out of the box. It's the ideal performance upgrade for Bronco Sport and Maverick owners who demand more power, better throttle response, and a more aggressive induction sound without compromising daily drivability.

Key Features & Benefits

• Guaranteed Horsepower & Torque Increase — K&N's roto-molded cold air intake systems are dyno-proven and backed by a written horsepower guarantee, so you can upgrade with confidence.
• HDPE Roto-Molded Intake Tube (Black) — The high-density polyethylene rotationally-molded tube increases airflow volume to the engine and reduces turbulence for a smooth, dense charge of air at all RPMs.
• Pre-Oiled Oversized Conical Cotton Air Filter (Red) — Paired with K&N's washable, reusable High-Flow Air Filter featuring oiled cotton filter media — delivering maximum airflow and exceptional filtration in one package.
• Up to 100,000-Mile Filter Service Intervals — The oversized conical design allows up to 100,000 miles between filter cleanings under normal highway driving conditions, dramatically reducing long-term ownership costs versus disposable paper filters.
• Custom Heat Shield — A purpose-built heat shield protects intake air from engine bay heat, ensuring cooler, denser air reaches the throttle body for optimal combustion efficiency and power.
• Aggressive Induction Sound — The high-flow rotomolded tube and open heat shield design allows the EcoBoost engine to breathe freely, producing a more exciting and audible induction tone under acceleration.
• OEM Computer Compatible — Engineered to integrate seamlessly with the factory ECU and all OEM computer systems — no tune required, no ECU issues.
• K&N's Newest Generation Design (63 Series) — The 63 Series AirCharger designation represents K&N's most recent engineering, with the latest innovations in high-flow filtration and intake tube geometry before CARB certification classifies them as FIPK intakes.
• 10-Year / 1,000,000-Mile Limited Warranty — Protected by K&N's industry-leading No-Hassle 10-Year/Million Mile Limited Warranty for lasting peace of mind.
