Boost Style & Power of 2015 and 2016 Ford F150 5.0L V8 with K&N Blackhawk Induction System
- May 19, 2015
The color black has strong emotional associations and it often implies power, elegance, and mystery. K&N gets that, which is why K&N has released a line of all black air intakes aptly named Blackhawk Induction air intake systems. K&N felt that select trucks, muscle cars, and SUVs were deserving of an aggressive, stylish, intake system that looks as good as it performs. While the redesigned 2015 and 2016 Ford F150 looks great, the truck’s beauty goes a little further than skin deep. The 2015 and 2016 Ford F-150 incorporates all-aluminum body panels, as well as a new frame made of 77% high-strength steel. The aluminum and high-strength steel have helped the 2015 and 2016 F-150 shed up to 750 lbs. Less weight means higher payload and towing capacities, more miles per gallon, and a better power to weight ratio.
Hidden under the hood of many 2015 and 2016 Ford F150 models is the optional 5.0L V8. This engine screams both literally, and figuratively, to be set free. What better way to do this than with the bold aggressive styling of a blacked out K&N Blackhawk Induction Air Intake System from K&N air filters? The K&N Blackhawk Induction air intake system for 2015 and 2016 Ford F150 5.0-liter V8 models is designed to not only imply aggressive power, but is expert-engineered and guaranteed to increase horsepower and torque. It replaces the restrictive factory air filter box and air intake tubes with a free-flowing, mandrel bent aluminum air intake tube to help minimize restriction and air intake turbulence. The mandrel bent aluminum intake tube is finished in a durable flat black powder coat for a bold look under the hood. In stark contrast to the black intake tube is a welded and engraved aluminum K&N nameplate. The 2015 and 2016 Ford F150 5.0L Blackhawk Induction air intake system incorporates an application specific black powder coated air filter heat shield to help deflect engine heat away from air entering the engine. For that true blacked out look K&N designed a line of black colored synthetic media Dryflow air filters. The K&N Blackhawk Intake for 2015 and 2016 Ford F-150 5.0 V8 models includes the dry K&N synthetic air filter, number RU-3102HBK, fitted to the inlet of the air intake tube. K&N Dryflow air filters provide excellent airflow rates as well as outstanding filtration efficiency. A K&N Blackhawk synthetic air filter is washable and reusable and can go up to 100,000 miles between cleanings, depending on driving conditions. Use of Synthetic Air Filter cleaner, number 99-0624, is recommended when it comes time to clean a Blackhawk air intake filter. This Dryflow air filter does not need to be oiled. No oil equals quicker cleaning and that means you can hit the streets, trails, or job site even sooner.

On the dyno, when installed on a 2015 Ford F150 with a 5.0-liter V8, the 71-2591 Blackhawk Induction air intake system produced an estimated 11.39 more horsepower at 4,553 RPM and an estimated additional 11.79 lb-ft of torque at 3,731 RPM.
