New aFe Intakes for 2024–2025 Ford Ranger Raptor: 50-70116D / 50-70116R / 50-70116DN
For 2024 and 2025 owners of the Ford Ranger Raptor 3.0L V6, the arrival of the aFe Power Momentum GT cold air intake marks a significant upgrade opportunity. The new intake systems — part numbers 50-70116D, 50-70116R, and 50-70116DN — bring proven performance gains, improved airflow, and easy installation for a direct replacement of the stock airbox. Whether you prioritize maximum airflow, a washable/reusable filter, or a particular under-hood look, there’s a version designed to fit your build.
Why Choose Momentum GT for Your Raptor
The Momentum GT lineup for the 2024–2025 Ranger Raptor is more than just a visual upgrade; it’s engineered for performance and ease:
- Up to +18 HP and +19 lb-ft torque (depending on filter). Dyno testing by aFe shows gains over stock.
- ~11% increase in airflow over the factory intake. More air means better combustion and throttle response.
- Heat-resistant, durable XLPE housing and dyno-tuned intake tubes. Designed to resist heat soak and maintain peak performance in real-world conditions.
- Washable/reusable air filter options. Choose between oiled 5-layer cotton gauze (Pro 5R) or dry Pro DRY S media for convenience.
- Simple installation using factory mounting points. Minimal parts mean fast, hassle-free install with no need for additional drilling or modification.
The 3 Intake Variants Explained
| Part Number | Filter Type / Key Feature | Best For / Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 50-70116D | Pro DRY S (dry, washable, reusable) | Those who want a low-maintenance, no-oil filter setup — easy cleaning and maintenance. |
| 50-70116R | Pro 5R (oiled, 5-layer cotton gauze) | Max airflow and ultimate filtration — ideal for aggressive driving, off-road use, or those who want maximum power gains. |
| 50-70116DN | Pro DRY S + “Orange” styling accents | Same benefits as 50-70116D, with a distinct under-hood appearance — good for show builds or custom engine bays. |
What Owners Are Saying / Real-World Feedback
In forums and owner communities, there’s a growing consensus that cold-air intakes like Momentum GT deliver real-world benefits on the Ranger Raptor platform:
“Intakes do help these trucks, even without tuning specifically for it — you’ll see gains.”
Some users note that installing an intake makes the turbos a bit more noticeable (in sound), which may appeal to those wanting a more aggressive induction tone.
That said, many emphasize that gains feel especially noticeable in higher RPM ranges and during throttle-on/off transitions — making Momentum GT a worthwhile upgrade for both street and light off-road use.
Installation & Use Cases
- Plug-and-play fitment: The Momentum GT intakes for the Ranger Raptor use the factory mounting locations — no drilling or cutting needed.
- Maintenance intervals: Both Pro 5R and Pro DRY S filters are washable/reusable, meaning you can clean and re-oil (or re-dry) and go — saving money and reducing waste.
- Best use cases: Daily driving, towing, light-offroad, overland rigs, or performance builds where better throttle response, airflow, and power are desired.
If you own a 2024–2025 Ford Ranger Raptor, the aFe Momentum GT cold air intake — whether 50-70116D, 50-70116R, or 50-70116DN — is one of the most effective bolt-on upgrades you can make. It boosts airflow, increases power and torque, improves throttle response, and makes maintenance easier with reusable filters. For those who want performance without complexity, or want to add a functional visual upgrade under the hood, Momentum GT delivers across the board.
