The OEM hot side pipe bottlenecks down to a restrictive 2.5 inches, starving your turbo of air. Worse yet, the cold side utilizes a fragile, two-piece plastic design with weak clip-ring connections that are notorious for blowing apart under heavy boost or high heat, leaving you stranded on the side of the highway with a massive boost leak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnleash Unrestricted Airflow and Unmatched Reliability.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe SPELAB High-Flow Intercooler Pipe Kit replaces your failure-prone factory plastics and restrictive rubbers with massive, mandrel-bent aluminum tubing.
