Double the Stock Core Volume in a Natural Aluminum Finish: The AMS F-150 and Raptor EcoBoost Intercooler Built for Maximum Cooling
The AMS Performance AMSAMS.55.09.0001-1 is the silver, AMS-logo stock location intercooler for the 2015 and newer Ford F-150 and Raptor with the 2.7L or 3.5L EcoBoost. Centered on a massive 21 by 10.25 by 5.5 inch bar-and-plate core, the AMSAMS.55.09.0001-1 is 115 percent larger than the factory intercooler and installs without cutting, trimming, or modifying any part of the truck. The factory mounting brackets, blow-off valve port, top and bottom mounting locations, and OEM air ducting are all retained, making this a genuine bolt-in upgrade that slots into the stock position and eliminates the thermal limitations of the original unit. Cooler charge air means more consistent power delivery, better knock resistance, and more effective tuning on boosted EcoBoost builds across the F-150 and Raptor lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles does the AMSAMS.55.09.0001-1 fit?The AMSAMS.55.09.0001-1 fits the 2015 and newer Ford F-150 with the 2.7L or 3.5L EcoBoost engine, and the 2017 and newer Ford F-150 Raptor with the 3.5L EcoBoost. Naturally aspirated F-150 variants are not compatible.
Is this a true bolt-in intercooler or does it require modifications?This is a true bolt-in upgrade. The AMSAMS.55.09.0001-1 installs in the factory intercooler location without any cutting, trimming, or modification. All factory brackets, the blow-off valve port, mounting locations, and air ducting are retained for a direct swap.
What is the difference between the silver and black versions of this intercooler?The AMSAMS.55.09.0001-1 has a natural silver aluminum finish with an AMS logo. The black version carries the same 21 x 10.25 x 5.5 inch bar-and-plate core and identical fitment but with a black anodized finish. Both deliver the same performance improvement over the OEM unit.
Do I need a tune after installing this intercooler?A tune is not required to install and run the AMSAMS.55.09.0001-1. The truck will function on the factory calibration. However, a custom or off-the-shelf tune calibrated for the upgraded intercooler is recommended to fully realize the gains from the improved thermal capacity and lower charge temps.
How much bigger is the AMS core versus the factory intercooler?The bar-and-plate core on the AMSAMS.55.09.0001-1 measures 21 x 10.25 x 5.5 inches and is 115 percent larger than the OEM intercooler, which AMS describes as more than double the stock volume. The bar-and-plate design also provides better heat rejection per unit volume than the factory tube-and-fin construction.
Does this intercooler retain the factory blow-off valve?Yes. The AMSAMS.55.09.0001-1 retains the factory blow-off valve port, so the OEM BOV or an aftermarket replacement installs without any adapter or modification.
Will this intercooler fit under factory skid plates and underbody trim?Yes. Because the AMSAMS.55.09.0001-1 is engineered to the stock location dimensions and mounting points, it fits within the factory underbody envelope without interference with OEM skid plates, underbody panels, or front end components.
Is this intercooler legal in California?No. The AMSAMS.55.09.0001-1 is not CARB legal and is not for sale or installation in the state of California. It is intended for use in the lower 48 states outside California.
Installation Overview
- Raise and support the front of the vehicle safely on rated jack stands.
- Remove the factory undertray or splash shield to access the stock intercooler from below.
- Disconnect the OEM charge pipe couplers at both the inlet and outlet ends of the factory intercooler.
- Unbolt the factory intercooler from its mounting brackets and carefully lower it out of the engine bay.
- Position the AMSAMS.55.09.0001-1 into place, aligning the bolt holes with the factory mounting locations.
- Reconnect the charge pipe couplers and tighten all clamps to specification.
- Reinstall the undertray, lower the vehicle, and check all connections before starting the engine.
- Test drive and inspect for boost leaks before returning to normal driving.
