The Ford F150, the premiere light-duty pickup truck in America, has earned its reputation over the decades. Ford has consistently built robust, strong pickup trucks with a range of options to meet the needs of owners, from getting groceries to carrying heavy loads at construction sites. The F150 has even become a popular platform for building award-winning show trucks. Now, owners of 2004-2008 Ford F150 trucks with 5.4 liter engines can add guaranteed horsepower and sleek aesthetics under the hood with the K&N 71-2556 Blackhawk Induction performance air intake system.

The K&N 71-2556 Blackhawk Induction™ air intake system offers a blend of performance and aesthetics, without compromising either. The aluminum air intake tube helps to streamline airflow into the engine and it is powder coated black for a clean look. The tube also comes with a welded-on K&N engraved plate for a bit of flash to tastefully contrast the powder coating. A heat shield shrouds the RU-3101HBK air filter to help isolate incoming air from engine heat. The air filter is a dry synthetic filter that doesn’t require any oil, and offers excellent protection for the engine without sacrificing airflow. It’s also washable and reusable so it never needs to be replaced, and can go for up to 100,000 miles between cleanings depending on driving conditions.

Like the F150, power is part of the appeal of the 71-2556 air intake. On the dyno, the 71-2556 intake system produced an estimated additional 11.5 horsepower at 3800rpm and 15.3 pound-feet of torque at 3466rpm to the wheels. This system removes the restrictive factory resonating chambers, giving your engine a beautiful sound.

Whether your F150 is a show time stallion, a worksite workhorse, or a dependable daily driver, the 71-2556 Blackhawk Induction air intake system brings power and tasteful flair under your hood that only K&N could craft. Find on at a dealer near you at www.KNFilters.com
