Stock plastic or rubber intercooler pipes can expand or crack under high boost levels. In addition to this, stock pipes have many bends which in some places are very tight radius which causes much resistance and pressure drop. HKS Piping kits are made of aluminum for increased durability and safety. The pipes have been redesigned to decrease the number of bends and to increase bend radius to minimize pressure loss and flow resistance.
See Less...The application specific kits utilize aluminum pipes to replace the factory rubber or plastic intercooler pipes. Factory intercooler piping has the tendency to expand, come loose or crack under increased boost conditions. The use of HKS intercooler piping offers increased durability, consistent boost pressure, and an attractive appearance. Steady and/or higher boost pressure plus improved response are typical gains from installing an HKS intercooler pipe upgrade kit. Each HKS kit includes aluminum pipes, silicone hoses, stainless steel clamps and other hardware needed to integrate with the factory turbo and intercooler system.
