Turn up the boost with a tune and find your factory "J" charge pipe break apart? The factory charge pipe is made out of plastic and was not designed to handle the higher boost levels. Well, fear not! The solution is here! Replace it with a higher flowing, stronger cast aluminum "J" charge pipe! Made of cast 6061 high grade aluminum, this will never happen again (backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty)!
Key Features:
- Increase throttle response and decreases turbo lag.
- Cast Aluminum for strength.
- Replaces the factory soft plastic "J" charge pipe that is prone to breaking under high boost.
- Converts the factory plastic retaining clip to a stronger metal C-Clip. Precision CNC machined flange ensures leak free connection to the throttle body. Quick and easy connection and disconnection to throttle body.
- Plug and play installation.
- Charge Pipe features beaded ends and high quality smooth band hose clamps to prevent intercooler piping from coming off from boost.
- Silicone Hump Hose included.
- Optional Type III Hard Black Anodizing (for stealth and OEM look). Hard anodizing helps improve durability of intercooler piping. Resists bent or dented piping.
- Adds a 1/8" NPT port. For use with methanol injection or nitrous. Can also be used as a vacuum/pressure port with the optional vacuum fitting.
- Includes all hardware for complete installation.
- Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Our Cold Side Charge Pipe is casted from 6061 aluminum. Why did we cast this piece instead of mandrel bent tubing? The factory "J" Charge Pipe runs from the air/water intercooler assembly to the throttle body. It takes a very tight "J" turn which cannot be mandrel bent. The only way accomplish this with mandrel bent tubing is to cut the mandrel bends at an off angle and "rig" pieces together. You will see many other brand "J" pipes in the market with these weird cut angles that are not ideal for optimum air flow and causes turbulence compared to the factory "J" pipe. The factory "J" pipe is a form molded plastic piece. Thus, we form mold casted our "J" pipe out of 6061 aluminum for the ideal flow just like factory. Often ignored, charged intake airflow characteristics greatly affect throttle response, turbo lag and ultimately maximum power potential. Smooth bends and minimal obstructions are ideal.
The factory S55 "J" is secured to the throttle body with a plastic retainer strip. We did not feel confident this plastic retainer clip was going to hold up against high boost so we converted the connection to accept a metal C clip (included in our kit). Once you remove the factory plastic retaining clip, you will understand why we changed it.
