AFE Stage 2 Cold Air Intake XP with Pro-Dry S; Ford Trucks (99-03) V8-7.3L All Models; #51-10192

Unlike other aftermarket air intake systems, the Magnum FORCE Stage 2 intake system replaces the entire stock air induction system to the throttle body or turbo housing. Remembering aFe's motto Stock Sucks, they eliminated the stock air box, the stock air filter and the stock intake tract. The only thing retained is the stock electronics, to ensure that their Stage 2 system works with the stock electronics.

Cold air equals more power, aFe systems maximize your vehicle's performance with the largest air box for each vehicle application. Even though aFe made it as large as possible they were careful to use your vehicle's stock mounting points. There is no need to cut or drill anything when you install an aFe intake kit. Another advantage of such a big air box is that aFe can design in the largest air filter possible.

At first glance you probably wont notice the unique features in each aFe air box design. Each of them is there for a purpose, either to make your job of installing the system easier or to improve the performance of your vehicle. Here are some benefits that distinguish aFe's Magnum FORCE Stage 2 intake systems:

• 16-gauge powder-coated steel Durable, OE look finish
• Trim sealed or covered Seals out hot engine air
• Secured PEM-nuts Easier installation
• Welded and preassembled sheet metal Faster Installation
• Pre-positioned opening for Stock attachments
  
• No dangling wires, relocating hoses or tubes.
• 3-angle velocity stack adaptor on some applications
• Powder-coated covers on some applications

As you can see, aFe put a lot of effort into designing each air box to fit each vehicle. It takes a little more time and effort but aFe did it to make the job of installing our systems easier.

Finally, aFe installs one of their custom designed and built filters that is custom tailored for each box, maximizing the amount of surface area for decreases air resistance. By designing the largest filter for the largest air box, aFe is able insure that the vehicle is getting the maximum amount of air regardless of the performance upgrades. aFe's Magnum FORCE Stage 2 intake system uses their conical universal clamp-on filters for ease of cleaning.

Typical design characteristics of aFe's custom designed air filter elements:

• 100% poly urethane construction Durable, resistant to high temperature and chemicals
• Deep pleats Greater flow and dust holding capacity
• Rounded pleat geometry Better airflow characteristics
• Full or modified velocity stack Better airflow characteristics
• Washable/reusable filter media Longer service life.

Letting more air in through the filter and keeping the hot air out doesnt help much if you cant get the air to the motor smoothly and efficiently. aFe intake systems use heat blocking molded tubes because you just cant bend a steel or aluminum tube to accommodate the modern engine compartment. With a molded tube, you can remove kinks, sharp bends and obstructions that restrict airflow. By tapering the tube, you can accelerate the airflow for more torque and better throttle response.

PRO DRY S FILTER FEATURES AFE PRO DRY S AIR FILTER MEDIA Tap Clean: You can tap your Pro Dry S filter and return it to 85% of its original airflow. Simply remove the filter from the intake kit and lightly tap it on a solid surface. Tap and turn the top and bottom of the filter until most of the visible dirt has been released. Reinstall the filter in your vehicle. Do not apply oil to the filter. Vacuum clean: You can vacuum your Pro Dry S filter and return it to 96% of its original airflow. Remove the filter from the intake kit and vacuum away the dirt using a shop vacuum or regular house vacuum. Reinstall the filter in your vehicle. Do not apply oil to the filter. Wash clean: You can wash your Pro Dry S filter and return it to 100% of its original airflow. Run the filter under running water from the inside out. Turn the filter to remove all visible and hidden dirt. If your filter is coated with grease or road grime, it may be necessary to use soap and water to get it fully clean. You can completely submerge the filter in a mixture of warm water and mild detergent (use a common household detergent such as dish or liquid laundry soap) if needed. Rinse clean. Allow the filter to dry completely (should dry within a few hours). Reinstall the filter in your vehicle. Do not apply oil to the filter. 2-LAYER SYNTHETIC CONSTRUCTION FOR MAXIMUM AIRFLOW AND DUST-HOLDING CAPACITY 1. Outer screen provides strength and prevents damage to filter media. 2. Thick layer slows air velocity so dust particles fall out of suspension and become trapped in fabric fibers. 3. High efficiency thin layer traps remaining dust particles without slowing airflow. 4. Inner screen provides support and quality without the need for additional internal structures.
