Hot Side Charge Pipe Upgrade for F150 Raptor

It's no secret your 2017-2020 F-150 Raptor was built for power, but the stock hot-side intercooler pipe is a weak link in the system. The factory tubing is made from restrictive plastic, which not only limits airflow but is also prone to cracking under increased boost pressure. Luckily for you, the aFe BladeRunner 2.5-Inch Aluminum Hot Charge Pipe is a serious upgrade that improves durability, increases flow, and helps your twin-turbo 3.5L EcoBoost perform at its best. Airflow is everything when it comes to maximizing turbo efficiency, and this charge pipe is designed to outflow the stock intercooler tubes by up to 13%. The 2.5-inch mandrel-bent aluminum tubing allows for smoother transitions, reducing turbulence and minimizing pressure loss. That means better throttle response, quicker turbo spool, and more consistent power delivery. Whether you're launching from a stop or rolling into boost on the highway, this upgrade ensures that airflow to the engine is never restricted.

Heavy-Duty Construction & Design

Durability is another major advantage. Unlike the plastic factory tubing, which can weaken over time, this charge pipe is constructed from TIG-welded aluminum, providing superior strength and heat resistance. The wrinkle-black powder-coated finish not only adds an aggressive look under the hood but also protects against corrosion and extreme under-hood temperatures. This is an upgrade built to handle high-boost applications and demanding driving conditions without failure. To ensure a secure, leak-free fit, aFe includes high-quality stainless-steel clamps and 5-ply reinforced silicone couplings. These components are designed to hold up under pressure, preventing boost leaks and maintaining efficiency. The charge pipe also features 1/8" NPT ports, allowing you to easily add sensors or a water-methanol injection system for future performance upgrades. What's more, installation is straightforward, as the charge pipe utilizes factory mounting locations for a direct fit. Everything needed for installation is included, making it a simple bolt-on upgrade with no cutting or modifications required.
