aFe 54-12592 is the Rapid Induction intake for 2011-2014 Ford F-150 trucks with the naturally aspirated 3.7L V6. One five-layer oiled Pro 5R filter, a wrinkle-black aluminum tube and a metal heat shield replace the upper factory intake assembly while retaining the lower airbox. The original MAF sensor transfers to the new tube; two supplied hoses replace the original vacuum and crankcase connections.
Current exact primary and complete twelve-page shared manual identify F-150 2011-2014 with the naturally aspirated 3.7L V6. The original model-level row and its bounds remain unchanged. Exact selected-part retailer application rows explicitly support restoring STX, XL and XLT throughout 2011-2014, conditional on the actual 3.7L engine and matching sensor, vent and lower-airbox arrangement. No EcoBoost 3.5L, other V6, V8, related intake or later generation is inferred. Separate retailer fuel-specific entries do not establish every converted fuel-system configuration. Fitment is separate from exact emissions-order application coverage.

Only one selected oiled filter is included, not both filters pictured in the shared manual. The four itemized coupling clamps are separate from the filter clamp used in the illustrated procedure. Retain the original lower airbox, its clips and the MAF sensor. The two supplied hose lengths replace the original vacuum/crankcase lines. A new MAF sensor, complete lower airbox, optional cover, throttle-body spacer and filter-service kits are not included. Do not substitute current related coupling-service dimensions for the exact manual bill without confirming the boxed revision.
aFe Power develops application-specific intake, filtration, exhaust, cooling, tuning, suspension, drivetrain, and truck-performance components supported by product testing and documented installation requirements.
One oiled filter, aluminum tube, metal shield, adaptor, two couplings, four coupling clamps, five adaptor screws, two sensor screws, two 16-inch hoses, trim seal and a T20 bit. The dry filter is an alternative.
Which F-150 engine is supported?The exact primary and manual specify the naturally aspirated 3.7L V6, 2011-2014. STX, XL and XLT rows remain conditional on that engine and the correct original connections.
Is the complete factory airbox replaced?The upper assembly and old filter are removed. The lower factory airbox and clips remain, supporting the new metal heat shield.
Does the MAF sensor transfer?Yes. Remove the original sensor with the T20 bit, attach it to the new tube with the supplied two screws and reconnect its harness after installing the tube.
Which hoses are supplied?One 16-inch 5/8-inch-ID hose and one 16-inch 3/8-inch-ID hose replace the original vacuum/crankcase lines in the illustrated routing.
What installation order is specified?Prepare the tube and MAF, assemble the adaptor/filter/shield, clip the housing to the lower airbox, replace the hoses, then install the tube throttle-body side first and reconnect the lines and MAF.
Are the flow, dyno and emissions claims independently certified?No exact bench chart is linked. The dyno labels a different intake, and its marked point gains differ from run-maximum differences. Full emissions-order application coverage still requires verification.
What battery, torque and recheck instructions apply?Disconnect the negative battery terminal before work. The exact manual gives no numeric torque and requires a connection recheck after approximately 100-200 miles.
Verify aFe 54-12592. Read all twelve pages and work on a cool engine. Disconnect the negative battery terminal. Unplug the MAF harness, disconnect the vacuum and crankcase lines, loosen the throttle-body clamp and release the upper-airbox clips. Pull the old intake from the throttle-body side and lift out the attached upper airbox, then remove the original filter. Remove the MAF with the Torx bit and transfer it to the new tube using the two supplied screws described as M4 slotted; no screw length is given. Fit the 3-inch hump coupling and clamps to the throttle-body end of the tube, leaving the clamps loose. Attach the adaptor to the shield with five M6x1x12 screws, prepare the angle coupling/clamps at the adaptor side, install the trim seal and fit the selected filter with its clamp as illustrated. Latch the assembled housing onto the original lower airbox using the original clips. Replace the original vacuum/crankcase lines with the supplied hoses in the illustrated routing. Install the new tube throttle-body side first, connect the replacement lines and reconnect the MAF harness. Align the assembly and tighten all clamps without inventing a numeric torque. Recheck all connections after approximately 100-200 miles. Tools listed are T20, 8 mm nut driver, flat-head screwdriver and 5/32-inch hex key. The manual directs installation of an enclosed EO sticker on a smooth clean surface near the device; this is not independent proof of emissions coverage for every application.
The exact current product page, full twelve-page linked manual, all three contact sheets, complete A1/A2-O bill, Figures A-E and the actual linked dyno image were read. Current branding is Rapid Induction; the linked manual uses Stage-2. The current detailed tube diameter varies from 3 to 3.5 inches while its overview says constant 3.5 inches; that manufacturer conflict remains qualified. The filter overview says 5.5-inch conical, while its exact service listing gives a 5.5-inch flange and 5.75-inch height; those dimensions are not conflated. Current related service-coupling dimensions also differ from the manual elbow bill; verify the boxed revision. The 52% flow claim has no linked exact bench chart and is not independently certified here. The manufacturer-linked dyno image labels its intake run 54-32592 rather than this selected intake. It is retained only as the manufacturer-linked comparison, not exact-hardware proof. Its marked red/blue readings are 133.89/124.23 HP and 215.11/199.60 lb-ft: differences of 9.66 HP and 15.51 lb-ft. Run maxima are intake 259.33 HP/258.85 lb-ft versus baseline 266.41 HP/256.77 lb-ft, differences -7.08 HP/+2.08 lb-ft. Baseline June 24, 2014 at 3:57:26 PM used 88.41 F, 28.97 in-Hg and 26% humidity; intake June 30 at 12:30:34 PM used 85.46 F, 28.95 in-Hg and 42% humidity. Both use SAE 1.04, with different dates/weather and no exhaust or gear specification in the plot; no guaranteed gain or peak 10/15 pair is claimed. Full D-550-28 exact application/exclusions remain unverified; the sticker instruction and retained operational tags are not blanket certification. Exact engine-qualified retailer STX/XL/XLT rows support only those named additions. Turn14 exact-product access remains unavailable without authentication. Protected commercial information and price remain unchanged.
