"I installed this and a diamond eye downpipe on my 94. 5 powerstroke. You can hear the air moving through the turbo more. Truck definitely feels a little faster. Super easy to install"

K&N 57-2531 Cold Air Intake 94-97 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke
Description
Replacing the restrictive, stock airbox on your 1994-1997 Powerstroke is probably the easiest upgrade you can do to increase power, throttle response, and fuel economy. Why is the stock airbox so restrictive you may ask? The physical size and media of the air filter limits the amount of airflow that can physically move through it and to the turbo.
A high-density polyethylene (HDPE) rotationally-molded tube helps increase the volume of airflow to your engine, and provides a guaranteed increase in horsepower and torque. This system is paired with a washable, reusable High-Flow Air Filter featuring oiled cotton filter media. The oversized, conical design allows you to go up to 100,000 miles between filter services under normal highway driving conditions. A custom heat shield helps protect intake air from the high temperature of your engine bay, and the entire system bolts in place using factory mounting locations and basic hand tools.

How it works
After checkout, we route your vehicle info and part SKU to verified installation shops near you. Local installers review the job and submit competitive bids; you pick the shop you want based on price, reviews, and availability. Your name and email stay private until you select an installer.
Pricing
You pay for the bid from your preferred shop. The full amount is shown before you confirm — installers cannot add charges without your written consent. Payments are processed securely by Stripe.
Your privacy
During bidding, shops see only your service ZIP code, vehicle year/make/model, and the part SKU — not your name, email, or address. Only the shop you select receives your contact details after payment. We never sell your personal information.
