The K&N 63-2625 is a 63 Series AirCharger cold air intake built for the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 in the Bronco Raptor. It uses a roto-molded HDPE intake tube that replaces the factory air filter and intake tube, paired with an oversized oiled cotton filter that can be washed and reused. The Raptor's 3.0L platform is the focus here, so buyers searching for a 2023 Bronco Raptor 3.0L cold air intake, a 63-2625 K&N intake, or a washable oiled cotton filter for a Bronco Raptor will find this kit matches those needs.
The main reason to choose this kit over stock is airflow. K&N estimates a gain of about 27 HP and 31 lb-ft of torque, though real-world results depend on the rest of the setup. The filter is rated for cleaning roughly every 100,000 miles under normal highway driving, and K&N backs the product with a Million Mile Limited Warranty. Owners on user forums are skeptical that an intake alone makes large power gains on modern turbocharged engines, and one forum member argues that most of the restriction sits in the cylinder heads. Buy this kit for filter life and a cleaner airflow path, and treat the power figures as estimates.
Fitment needs checking before you order. Sources disagree on model years: the manufacturer's install sheet lists 2023, while K&N's Raptor page lists 2024 through 2026. The kit is also not legal for sale or use in California on pollution-controlled vehicles. Installation is a bolt-in job that the manufacturer says takes about an hour or less with basic hand tools, so a home mechanic with some experience can handle it in a single afternoon.
