Direct bolt-on replacement
Outflows OEM pipes by 13%
Made from 2.5" aluminum in wrinkle black finish
Mandrel-bent aluminum construction features significantly improved thermal capacity and 1/3 of the weight when compared to stainless steel alternatives
Includes heavy-duty t-bolt clamps and ultra-resistant 4-ply couplers
IMPROVES PERFORMANCE
The Hot-side Aluminum Intercooler Piping is designed to improve the performance of your EcoBoost F-150's turbos by improving the performance of your intercooler via a 13% increase in airflow over the OEM alternative. This Piping replaces the restrictive hot-side piping with mandrel-bent aluminum tubing for smoother airflow.
QUALITY CONSTRUCTION
The 2.5" hot-side pipe features mandrel bends to allow for smooth air flow and the ultra-resistance fibers on the silicone couplers offer enhanced tolerance against heat and pressure.
STRAIGHTFORWARD INSTALLATION
Designed to install easily with basic hand tools, the Hot-side Piping requires no extra modifications. Complete with all necessary t-bolt clamps and ultra-resistant couplers.

Product Function & Benefits
Optimized Performance:
Temperature regulation is crucial for power production and delivery. When engine or charge temperatures rise too high, your vehicle automatically limits power output to prevent damage. This applies to both stock and tuned vehicles.
Enhanced Efficiency:
Upgrading the stock intercooler helps maintain lower charge temperatures for extended periods. This means your engine can operate at peak efficiency for longer, minimizing power limitations due to high temperatures.
Tune-Related Impact & Tuner Recommendation
Recommended vs Required:
• Upgrading the intercooler is not required for tuning. However, it is strongly recommended to maximize gains.
• This modification will support maximum gains from tuning and any future modifications, like a cold air intake.
• Upgraded intercoolers do not require a tune.
• Adding one to a tuned vehicle does not require a tune update.
Explorer-Specific Information
1. High or excessive engine and charge temperatures are seen within ¼ mile of spirited driving on the stock intercooler. This is called heat soak.
2. When excessive temperatures are present, the engine automatically pulls power to prevent engine damage (this is called a ‘safety’). This happens with a stock or Custom Tune applied.
3. The benefits of tuning, and other mods, become null when heat soak sets in, and the safety is applied.
4. All of the available intercoolers provide adequate cooling for extended performance on stock and ZFG Tunes.
