Charge Pipe

I’ve heard the charge pipes tend to break off of even stock power. Do I upgrade the upper, lower or both. Also which brand do you guys recommend?

I recently looked into this and decided that if I went ahead it would be a total replacement, boost pipe, upper and lower charge pipe.

I took a close look at mine and see no concerns so held off, but any sign of an issue I'll go with the full set seen in the below link.

The upper charge pipe is a weaker one. But replacing both would be my suggestion.

Please visit https://www.rgsportshop.com/Evolutio...ks-Intercooler. You can purchase both upper and lower charge pipes in incognito black color.
