COBB 7F1527-SL Front Mount Intercooler (Silver) | 2017-2020 Ford F-150 EcoBoost/Raptor 3.5L & 2.7L

Overview

The COBB Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) for the 2017–2020 Ford F-150 EcoBoost and Raptor is a high-performance, direct-replacement intercooler engineered to dramatically reduce charge air temperatures and unlock serious power potential from your turbocharged 3.5L or 2.7L EcoBoost engine. Designed for enthusiasts who demand more from their F-150 — whether on the street, track, or trail — this bolt-on upgrade delivers consistent cooling performance well beyond the limits of the factory intercooler. If you're searching for the best front mount intercooler for a 2017–2020 Ford F-150 Raptor or EcoBoost, COBB's proven engineering sets the benchmark.

Key Features & Benefits

• Massive Core Upgrade — Significantly larger core volume compared to the OEM unit, reducing charge air temperatures and supporting higher boost levels for more reliable power delivery.
• Bar-and-Plate Construction — Heavy-duty bar-and-plate core design offers superior heat rejection and durability over tube-and-fin alternatives, even under sustained high-load driving.
• Direct Bolt-On Fitment — Engineered specifically for 2017–2020 Ford F-150 EcoBoost 3.5L and 2.7L platforms (including the Raptor) using factory mounting locations — no cutting, welding, or major fabrication required.
• Silver Finish — Clean, corrosion-resistant silver finish that complements the engine bay while standing up to the harsh underhood environment.
• Reduced Intake Air Temps (IAT) — Lower charge air temperatures translate directly to improved engine efficiency, reduced knock risk, and more aggressive ignition timing — all critical for maximizing EcoBoost power output.
• Compatible with COBB Accessport Tuning — Pairs seamlessly with COBB Accessport ECU calibrations for a fully optimized power package, whether running an Off-The-Shelf (OTS) or custom map.
• Proven COBB Engineering — Backed by COBB's industry-leading R&D, dyno testing, and real-world validation on the Ford F-150 EcoBoost platform.

What's Included

• 1x COBB Front Mount Intercooler Core (Silver)

Installation

The COBB FMIC is engineered as a bolt-on replacement using existing factory mounting points, making installation accessible for experienced DIY mechanics with proper tools. However, due to the complexity of intercooler plumbing and the need to safely access components behind the front fascia, professional installation by a qualified automotive technician is recommended to ensure proper sealing and fitment. After installation, an updated COBB Accessport tune is strongly recommended to take full advantage of the improved charge air cooling capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this intercooler compatible with other aftermarket intake or exhaust modifications? Yes — the COBB FMIC is designed to integrate with other COBB components such as their intake systems and downpipes, and is also compatible with many third-party modifications on the F-150 EcoBoost platform.

Do I need a tune after installing this intercooler? While the truck will run without a retune, a calibration update via the COBB Accessport (or equivalent ECU tuning solution) is highly recommended to optimize boost targets, fueling, and timing to realize the full performance benefit of reduced charge air temperatures.

Is this product CARB compliant? This product is intended for off-road or closed-course competition use. Check your local and state emissions regulations before use on public roads.
