Less weight means higher payload and towing capacities, more miles per gallon, and a better power to weight ratio. Performance minded drivers know that less weight and more power combine to increase the rate of acceleration. The 2015 Ford F150 5.0L, rated at 385 horsepower and 387 lb-ft of torque, is a capable of towing almost 11,000 pounds depending on the truck’s configuration. However, in about 90 minutes or less an AEM air intake system can be installed to help the 2015 Ford F-150 5.0L V8 engine with a boost in horsepower and torque for improved towing performance and better acceleration.
As is the case with the 2015 Ford F150 5.0L, the factory air intake tubing, stock air filter box, and disposable air filter is a significant point of restriction in modern fuel injected cars or trucks. AEM has developed an air intake system that eliminates the restrictive stock intake tube, sound baffling, and air filter box. By replacing restrictive factory components with a charcoal gray powder coated mandrel bent aluminum air intake tube coupled to an open element AEM Dryflow synthetic air filter an AEM intake is able to increase horsepower, torque and acceleration of 2015 Ford F150 5.0L V8 models.

An AEM Dryflow air filter’s high-flow synthetic filter media and pleated design, along with the mandrel-bent aluminum intake tube’s smooth inner surface, helps to reduce turbulent airflow to promote more efficient combustion and increased power. The increase in airflow and reduced restriction resulting from the installation of an AEM 2015 Ford F150 5.0L air intake system 21-8129DC improves horsepower and torque output of the 2015 Ford F150 5.0L across the entire RPM range.
