The factory plastic charge pipes and rubber couplers were never designed to handle the stress and abuse of higher boost levels much beyond stock. When combined with power-robbing abrupt and sharp bends, inferior rubber material, and small diameter tubing, it's easy to see why the rubber hoses of the intercooler should be replaced, even on stock vehicles.
At ECS Tuning, we're proud to release our Silicone / Metal Charge Pipe Set!
The aluminum pipe replaces the brittle factory plastic pipe which can fail under increased boost pressure. The increased piping size helps to reduce turbulence and maximize flow into the engine.
