Cookies and cream, baseball and apple pie, Ford Mustang and Roush. Ask any Ford aficionado about Roush, and he’ll be able to extoll the virtues of adding some Roush components for the celebrated pony car. We’re particularly fond of the Roush Stage 2 and Stage 3 ‘Stangs. Fortunately, Roush is looking to expand in a new direction — and has announced a lineup of performance accessories for the #1-selling vehicle in North America for the last few years — the Ford F-150. Roush is offering three major product lines that add more power or deepen the exhaust notes of the existing powertrains, including a supercharger, cold air intake, and exhaust. We’ll start with the supercharger, just for fun.
Roush has made a 2.3 liter TVS R2300 supercharger with Eaton’s new TVS technology available for the 5.0 and 6.2 liter V8 powerplants. The systems come with a new cold air induction system, 100mm MAF tube, twin 60mm throttle body, and high efficiency intercooler system featuring a dual-core low temp radiator, degas bottle, and high capacity air-to-water intercooler. Roush’s cold-air induction system is offered on the V8 line as well as the 3.7 liter V6, while the dual-tip, stainless steel high-performance cat back exhaust fits any cab and bed length and is offered on the V8 line as well as the 3.5 liter V6 EcoBoost. The exhaust provides increased air flow and reduces back pressure while turning the stock exhaust into a “rumbling muscular tone” and “eliminating any in-cab drone”. Sounds good to us.

[expand]The Ford F-Series has been the #1 selling vehicle in North America for several years and has always been an integral part of ROUSH®
Performance’s product line up. With Ford launching four new engines for the 2011+ F-150,
ROUSH has added more horsepower and throaty tunes to enhance all four new F-150
powertrains.
Among the new engines are two new beefy V-8’s. ROUSH has developed new ROUSHcharger supercharger systems for both the 6.2L and the 5.0L V-8 powertrains. Both the 6.2L and 5.0L supercharger systems will be available as a non-calibrated TUNER kit and a ROUSH calibrated kit. All systems will come complete with ROUSH’s 2.3L TVS R2300 supercharger featuring Eaton’s new TVS Technology. The new Twin Vortices Series features four-lobe rotors with high-flow inlet and outlet ports that greatly enhance thermal efficiency, enabling greater volumetric capacity at higher RPM’s. The systems also include ROUSH’s new cold air induction system, 100 mm MAF tube, twin 60mm throttle body, and high efficiency intercooler system featuring a dual-core low temp radiator, degas bottle and high capacity air-to-water intercooler. The 5.0L TUNER kit is now available for immediate delivery and the 5.0L ROUSH calibrated kit is available for delivery in early February 2012. The 6.2L TUNER kit will be available for delivery in mid January 2012 with the 6.2L ROUSH calibrated kit available for delivery in early April 2012. All kits are available for pre-order immediately by calling 800-59-ROUSH or www.roushperformance.com.
In addition to F-150 supercharger kits, ROUSH Performance has also launched cold air induction systems for all four F-150 powertrains including the 3.7L V-6, the 6.2L and 5.0L V-8’s as well as the 6.2L V-8 in the Super Duty. These kits have been engineered and tested to ensure MAF signal performance (including airflow vs. voltage and signal noise) are transparent to factory settings, which is why the ROUSH kit does not require a unique calibration and offer better air flow providing increased horsepower and better fuel economy along with improved throttle response. These kits are designed and manufactured using OE materials for structural stability and durability. The clean air tubes are injection molded and designed for maximum air flow efficiency. All kits are designed for easy installation requiring no drilling or cutting. The F-150 V-8 cold air induction systems include an open element upper air box, washable high-flow air filter, new MAF tube, clean air tube and all required hardware. The V-6 systems and Super Duty system all include an open element upper air box, washable high-flow air filter, new MAF tube and all required hardware. All cold air kits are available for immediate delivery.
Rounding out the F-150 product line up is the new ROUSH dual-tip, stainless steel, high
performance cat back exhaust system. ROUSH has developed one system to work with the
6.2L-V8, the 5.0L-V8 and the 3.5L V6 Ecoboost powertrains and every cab and bed length
configuration. The ROUSH high performance cat back exhaust system has been engineered to provide increased air flow and less back pressure to help reach the trucks full potential in horsepower and torque. The system turns the normally quiet stock exhaust note into rumbling muscular tune….music to any performance enthusiast’s ear, while eliminating any in-cab drone. The muffler is made from high grade 409 stainless steel and polished, as is the outlet pipe. The dual tips are made from 304 stainless steel, polished, and are then finished with a chrome flashing process. Conventional chrome plating uses layers of bonded chemicals to achieve its shiny appearance, which are susceptible to cracking and flaking especially when exposed to high temperatures (like exhaust). However, the chrome flashing used in this system is bonded micro-porously to the metal surface, and is as a result impervious to cracking from localized damage. This method of chroming is also resistant to heat color change. This exhaust system will be available for pre-orders beginning January 2012 with orders shipping out late February 2012.
The full line of ROUSH Performance F-150 products are available for order, or pre-order, via ROUSH’s toll-free (800) 59-ROUSH phone number. The kits are expected to begin shipping now through early April 2012.
