- 2015 Explorer XLT
Hi all,
I installed the K&N 77 Series cold air intake on our 2015 Explorer XLT, 3.5 AWD.
I mainly did this for a nice sounding grumble, but also because someone recommenced this as a fix for the sulfur smell under acceleration. Ironically the installation of this intake actually did fix the smell issue, even under full throttle I don't smell anything (like a normal car)
However I have noticed that my MPG's have taken a big hit. I'm averaging 14.5 MPG in a suburban area, with lots of open roads. Anyone have a similar experience? This is really annoying me as I fix one problem and another arises...
