Add more Efficiency to your F150 Raptor with aFe

When it comes to making more power with your 2017-2020 F-150 Raptor, airflow is everything. The stock intercooler pipes are functional, but they're restrictive and limit the efficiency of your 3.5L EcoBoost under boost. The aFe BladeRunner 3.5-3 Inch Aluminum Cold Charge Pipe is designed to fix that by dramatically improving airflow, reducing turbulence, and optimizing the efficiency of your turbo system. Whether you’re chasing better throttle response, cooler charge temps, or simply looking to upgrade your intercooler piping for long-term reliability, this cold-side charge pipe delivers noticeable gains. One of the biggest advantages of this upgrade is airflow improvement. The mandrel-bent 3.5-inch to 3-inch aluminum tubing increases flow by 17% over stock, allowing your turbos to work more efficiently and reducing pressure loss. This means better throttle response, improved turbo spool, and more consistent power delivery, especially under heavy acceleration. What's more, the smooth bends in the piping help minimize turbulence, which translates to more efficient boost and lower intake air temperatures–key factors in maintaining power when pushing your Raptor hard.

High-Quality Construction with Straightforward Install

Beyond performance, aFe's build quality is a major highlight. The charge pipe is constructed from mandrel-bent aluminum, providing superior durability compared to the restrictive plastic factory tubing. The wrinkle-black powder-coated finish adds an extra layer of heat resistance while protecting against corrosion and wear. To ensure a perfect fit and a leak-free seal, the charge pipe features a billet aluminum factory-style quick-connect adapter with an O-ring, ensuring it integrates seamlessly with your existing intercooler system. Installation is straightforward, as the charge pipe is designed to utilize factory mounting locations, providing a secure and stable fit. The kit also includes high-quality stainless-steel clamps and heavy-duty 5-ply reinforced silicone couplings, ensuring everything stays tight under high boost pressure. And for those looking to add a boost sensor or water-methanol injection, the pipe includes a pre-drilled 1/8" NPT port, giving you more flexibility for future modifications.
