The K&N 63-2618 is a complete cold air intake for the 2.0L EcoBoost four-cylinder in the Bronco Sport and Maverick. A high-density polyethylene (HDPE) rotationally-molded tube carries air from the grille area to the turbo, and the system is paired with a washable, reusable High-Flow Air Filter featuring oiled cotton filter media. Shoppers searching for a 2.0 EcoBoost CAI, a Bronco Sport 2.0L cold air intake, or a K&N 63 Series AirCharger will find this kit is built around that washable filter and a no-tune design.
Compared with the factory airbox, the main case is airflow and filter life. The manufacturer states the intake is guaranteed to increase horsepower and torque. The filter can go up to 100,000 miles between filter services under normal highway driving conditions. A custom heat shield is included to help protect intake air from the high temperature of your engine bay. Owners on user forums describe a louder intake note and a simple install, but a skeptic on the same boards argues that turbo boost control limits real gains, so results will vary. Weigh the cost against your goals rather than a single dyno figure.
The manufacturer's install sheet is written for the 2021–24 Bronco Sport L4-2.0L, while owners on user forums report installing the same system on 2022 Maverick 2.0L trucks. Confirm fitment against your VIN with the manufacturer before ordering.
The manufacturer says the washable filter can last up to 100,000 miles under normal highway driving, and the interval depends on driving conditions.
No. The manufacturer's install sheet has you set aside the factory fresh-air duct section that connects to the airbox, and the kit does not include an airbox.
Per the manufacturer's install sheet for the 2021–24 Bronco Sport, you need a ratchet, extension, 10mm deep socket, pliers, and a flat-blade screwdriver. Disconnect the negative battery first, but note that this erases pre-programmed memories, so record your radio settings and have the anti-theft code ready. Expect to cut apart the orange-locking CCV connectors, since those cannot be reused and the kit supplies replacements. The heat shield edge trim will need trimming to fit. The manufacturer says the kit was not designed for vehicles with a body lift, and skipping the supplied hardware can damage the intake tube, throttle body, or engine. Install time claims vary, so plan for roughly an hour to 90 minutes.
