Our new Lower Intercooler Charge Pipe (LIC) replaces that rubber/plastic factory pipe that is prone to breaking under high boost with a new 6061 aluminum (lightweight) mandrel bent piping. Often ignored, charged intake airflow characteristics greatly affect throttle response, turbo lag and ultimately maximum power potential. Smooth bends and minimal obstructions are ideal. Airflow in a pipe tends to travel in the outer edges of the pipe. Hard piping like our LIC charge pipe keeps the inner diameter of the constant and prevents it from ballooning or collapsing. The results? Better throttle response and decreased turbo lag! Pair it with our N55 Charge Pipes and have full metal hard piping from the intercooler to the throttle body!
Our LIC charge pipe utilizes the factory style o-ring locking connectors. This allows an easy plug and play swap with either your factory intercooler or upgraded intercooler. Our LIP charge pipe kit comes with everything needed for installation and comes with our "Limited Lifetime Warranty".
