New High-Performance Air Filters Coming Soon for Explorer ST, Aviator 3.0L TT, 4Runner, and GX460

At Boosted Mentality Motorsports, we’re always pushing forward—developing smarter, cleaner, and more effective performance upgrades for the platforms enthusiasts love the most. Today, we’re excited to announce that two brand-new high-performance air filter systems are on the way, engineered specifically for some of the most popular SUV platforms in the market:

• Ford Explorer ST (3.0L EcoBoost)

• Lincoln Aviator (3.0L Twin Turbo)

• Toyota 4Runner

• Lexus GX460

These upcoming filter kits bring the same precision, innovation, and enthusiast-driven design that define the Boosted Mentality Motorsports brand—now optimized for two completely different performance categories: twin-turbo power and legendary off-road reliability.

Why These Platforms?

The Explorer ST/Aviator and the 4Runner/GX460 are extremely different vehicles, but they share one thing in common: an enthusiast community looking for safe, meaningful, and reliable performance improvements.

Ford Explorer ST / Lincoln Aviator 3.0L Twin Turbo

Owners of the ST and Aviator platforms are always looking to unlock extra airflow and responsiveness from the potent 3.0L EcoBoost. A high-flow air filter is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to support:

• Quicker turbo spool

• Reduced intake restriction

• Better throttle response

• Improved overall breathing efficiency

Our new filters are engineered specifically for the boosted demands of this engine.

Toyota 4Runner / Lexus GX460

The 4.0L and 4.6L Toyota platforms are known for their bulletproof reliability, but airflow upgrades are limited—and many aftermarket options require maintenance with oil, which can be messy and risky for sensitive sensors.

Our new dry-flow filter solves those issues while delivering:

• Optimized airflow

• Reliable filtration for overlanding and dusty environments

• Zero maintenance oiling

• Long service life

Perfect for daily drivers, off-road rigs, and long-distance adventure builds.

The Boosted Mentality Advantage: Why Our Filters Are Different

We’re not building “just another aftermarket filter.”
Each new filter kit is engineered with enthusiasts in mind and manufactured according to the key principles that define our performance philosophy.

1. True Dry-Flow Technology (No Oiling Required)

Many performance filters rely on oil to trap fine particles—but that comes with well-known risks, including contamination of MAF and MAP sensors.

Our upcoming filters use advanced dry-flow synthetic media, which offers the same high-performance airflow benefits without:

• Oil saturation

• Sensor fouling

• Messy filter servicing

• Risk of over-oiling

This means cleaner performance, lower maintenance, and greater engine protection.

2. High-Flow, Low-Restriction Engineering

We’re designing these filters to improve airflow compared to restrictive OEM paper elements while still preserving proper filtration efficiency. Expect:

• High surface-area pleating

• Optimized flow geometry

• Rigid structure to prevent collapsing

• Better breathing under boost or load

Whether it's the EcoBoost twin-turbos or the naturally aspirated Toyota V8, airflow is everything—and these filters are built to deliver.

3. OE-Style Fitment for Easy Installation

Both filter kits are designed as direct replacements, meaning:

• No tuning required

• No airbox modifications

• No trimming or cutting

• Complete drop-in convenience

You get performance without compromise.

4. Reusable and Washable

Our dry-flow media is fully washable and reusable.

• Wash with water

• Let dry

• Reinstall

• No oil… EVER

This makes our filters both cost-effective and environmentally responsible.

Platform Breakdown: What You Can Expect

Ford Explorer ST / Lincoln Aviator (3.0L TT) Air Filter Kit

This kit is engineered to support the airflow needs of a modern twin-turbo powerplant. Benefits include:

• Increased intake efficiency for stronger turbo response

• Better acceleration and midrange pull

• Improved breathing under spirited driving

• Long-lasting filtration ideal for high-performance daily use

ST and Aviator owners continually look for bolt-on upgrades that enhance performance without sacrificing reliability—this filter was made exactly for that purpose.

Toyota 4Runner / Lexus GX460 Air Filter Kit

Designed for durability, longevity, and off-road resilience. Benefits include:

• Superior flow compared to stock paper filters

• Enhanced performance in dusty or harsh environments
