17-23 Ford F-150 / 21-23 Raptor 3.5L EcoBoost Cobb 8G4625 Intake Scoop Bracket

COBB Intake Scoop Bracket – Part Number 8G4625

The COBB Intake Scoop Bracket (P/N 8G4625) is designed for the 2017‑2023 Ford F‑150 and 2021‑2023 (Gen3) Ford F‑150 Raptor equipped with the 3.5 L EcoBoost engine. This precision‑machined brace addresses a critical weakness in the factory snorkel system by replacing the soft plastic mounting clips with robust hardware that secures the snorkel to the radiator core support. Development by COBB’s engineering team revealed that under increased boost pressure, the factory snorkel would collapse or deform, causing measurable power loss. 

By installing this bracket, owners can preserve the integrity of the intake path—especially when tuning or upgrading—and gain peace of mind knowing this weak link has been fortified.

Key Features

• Direct‑fit alloy bracket designed to replace factory plastic clips and mounts for the snorkel on select F‑150 and Raptor models.

• Black anodized billet aluminum construction featuring the COBB logo for both strength and visual enhancement.

• Bracket sandwiches the snorkel to the core support, significantly reducing deformation under vacuum or boost load.

• Included hardware (allen bolts and washers) for straightforward installation using minimal tools.

• Required component when using COBB Off‑the‑Shelf (OTS) maps on the Gen3 Raptor, ensuring the intake system is secured appropriately for higher airflow scenarios.

Benefits

• Helps maintain consistent airflow and boost pressure by eliminating snorkel collapse—this means less chance of performance loss when modifying or tuning the vehicle. 

• Enhances overall durability and reliability of the intake system, which is particularly valuable under high stress or high boost conditions—a wise investment for tuned EcoBoost owners.

• Adds a clean, purposeful aesthetic under the hood thanks to the anodized finish and visible branding—an appreciable touch for enthusiasts who want their engine bay to reflect quality parts.

• Easily installed in minutes without major disassembly or modifications—great for DIYers or installers alike.

Install Difficulty Level

Installation is straightforward and suitable even for non‑professional installers. According to COBB’s documentation, the bracket can be installed in roughly 4 minutes when the snorkel removal and hardware swap are completed. The process uses simple hand tools—a flathead screwdriver to remove the old clips and a 4 mm Allen key for bolt installation. No cutting or permanent modifications to factory components are required. As with any performance part, verify fitment, confirm all hardware is tightened to spec, and if uncertain consult a qualified technician.
