Finally got mine installed. Love hearing a bit more spool and it feels a bit peppier, although that part is probably all in my head

The only thing to note is you’ll have to cap the BOV connection on the drivers’ side intake tube. I used a 1 1/8” chair leg cap temporarily until my Whoosh Motorsports silicone cap arrived today and I swapped it out (secured with a hose clamp).
I also ended up undoing an extra clip on the intake air temperature sensor wire to give it a bit more slack, and then routing it a bit differently than instructed (opted not to use the included radiator support cable tie mount).
Other than that, the install was straightforward.

No need to get the silicon, had this on SHO and ST for a while and there is no issues.
It'll last till you sell the car and beyond.
Just use a clamp on it.

Last week I reached out to aFe power told them of the cap needed on 2022 STs. They asked for my receipt with the estimated shipped date 5/1.
Today I received a package from aFe Takeda Cold Air Intake System Spare Parts | aFe POWER
I like it.

Fenfab was the only one available for a long time and is hand made. My guess is the amount of hours it takes him to make them it isn't worth his time to sell them for less.
Main difference is the afe has separate filters for each turbo and are directly in front of motor while the fenfab uses a single filter and it's located right near where the intake duct is. They both have a totally different look, so which looks better is in the eye of the beholder.

Also @ZFGracing posted some info that says the AFE performs better on more heavily modified trucks. Now yes the highest HP Explorers currently run FenFabs, but that's due to preference/availability. We haven't seen a direct back to back, and a tune is needed to get really anything out of either.

Hello all and new here so I have some newbie questions. Prior to taking delivery of my 22 ST I had on order the above mentioned afe intake, fenfab coolant tank, fenfab charge pipe and turbosmart kompact dual port vr13 bov as a replacement to the factory one. After spending some time reading here and confirming under the hood,I do not have a bov. My question now is am I the owner of atleast two usless parts (charge pipe & bov) or is there a work around for this? Secondly after looking at pictures of the afe intake installed it looks like a tight fit with the factory coolant tank. Has anyone seen or installed both the afe intake alongside the fenfab coolant tank. If this info has already been put out before, I apologize for the duplication of efforts. Thank you for your knowledge and insight.

Thank you for the reply, I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to the turbo systems and their workings. I was confident removing an existing bov and replacing it. Also with adding the charge pipe but I'm thrown off learning I dont have one to replace plug and play style. I'm just trying to make sure I understand from others post, what I'm reading and interpreting are correct about this. Thank you once again for your time and response.
Make sure you contact Brett (Fenfab) and let him know you have an aFe Power intake prior to him shipping your coolant reservoir! The standard coolant tank reservoir that he makes does NOT work with the aFe Power intake. He is currently making modifications to my returned coolant tank and will either offer two different versions of the tank, or one version going forward that will be adjusted to work with either the Fenfab, stock or aFe Power intakes. I hope this helps.
we just received 2 pallets of fresh aFe's if anyone is looking for quick shipping
