Upper Intercooler Pipe
The
wait for the PPI upper I/C pipe is over! We have spent a lot
of time in developing a properly designed upper I/C pipe. The stock
piece is restrictive and turbulent due to its multipiece design
and weak couplers. Our pipe is constructed from 6061
aluminum. All bends are smooth, tangent to the bends and fully
mandrel bent which means the least restriction possible. Fitment is
excellent and this is a very easy to install piece. Our pipe comes
with a silicone coupler for the turbo and the necessary t-bolt clamps.
You can use the stock coupler on the intercooler side.
- Aluminum will disperse the heat
quicker than steel will. The last thing intercooler piping should do is
to retain heat (steel will do this). The idea is to cool your charge air as quickly
as possible!
- Many
companies use a silicone coupler from the
turbo to their pipe to make a large transition in pipe diameter.
They use a coupler from the turbo outlet diameter of 1 3/4"
to their lower i/c pipe of 2.5". This transition takes place in a mere
.25" to .5" in their coupler. This is the easy/cheap way out.
Airflow turbulence is introduced anytime it is forced to bend in sharp
angles like this. Proper airflow requires bends of 10 degrees or
less. This is accomplished with our pipe due to the fact that we have
taken the extra time to ensure it is built and designed the right way.
We use an aluminum cone (that we manufacture) in our
pipe that has a smooth transition from 2" to 2.5" diameter.
- Our pipe
is also made as a 1 piece design
for convenience and hassle free installation.
- We also put high-quality machine rolled beads
onto our pipe to make sure a good air tight connection is made.
- We also supply a high
grade silicone coupler to connect to your turbo along with 2 t-bolt
clamps.
- The finishing touch
is the PPI nameplate to show that you have chose the best for your Evo
X!
Our pipe is 100%
percent aluminum weighing in
under 2 pounds including a
heavy duty bracket! Typical steel pipes can weigh over 4
pounds! Why add weight to your car?

real-world results of PPI products on an EVO X!
Gains of 21/whp and 26ft/lbs torque with Upper IC,
Lower IC, and Road Race IC. Boost and AFR were unchanged from previous
tune and spool is 200RPM quicker than the stock setup!
