Performance Air Intake for Mercury Mariner (2005-2008) with 3.0L V6 Engine Black

Wake Up Your Duratec 30: High-Flow Intake for 2005-2008 Mercury Mariner & Ford Escape

Who It’s For: Designed specifically for Mercury Mariner and Ford Escape owners running the 3.0L Duratec 30 engine family who want to improve throttle response and engine sound.

The Problem: The stock intake on the Duratec 30 is a restrictive, baffled plastic assembly designed more for noise cancellation than airflow efficiency. These factory boxes are notorious for creating air turbulence and heat-soaking, which kills performance during merging or towing.

The Solution: We engineered this intake to replace the cumbersome factory air box with a high-velocity T304 aluminum tube and a washable high-flow filter. This corrects the factory design flaws by providing a smooth, direct path for oxygen to reach the intake manifold, allowing your engine to breathe better under load.

Why This is the Ultimate Upgrade

• Sharper Throttle Response: By removing the ribbed factory accordion hose, we eliminate air turbulence, giving you more immediate "get-up-and-go" when you hit the pedal.
• T304 Aluminum Construction: Unlike cheap plastic kits, our lightweight aluminum piping dissipates heat faster and won’t crack or degrade over thousands of heat cycles.
• 60-Minute Bolt-On: This is a true DIY project. You can swap your factory air box for this system using standard hand tools in your driveway with no permanent modifications required.
