"These charge pipes are a great upgrade and work perfectly with the upgraded intercooler the car feels more responsive and holds power well just make sure when installing the pipe that connects to the throttle body it’s seated right and tightened down properly I had a mechanic put it in wrong and it popped off as soon as I hit the throttle which killed all the power so check your clamps during install and every few thousand miles to avoid any surprises this setup is definitely worth it"
Fits all variant models including RHD, International Models, Etc.
INSTALLATION:
Important Notes:
- NO ECU CALIBRATION REQUIRED
- Compatible with Factory Fitment Intercoolers and PRL Motorsports Intercooler upgrade with 3" outlet.
Technical Notes:
Our charge pipe upgrade kit utilizes a smooth flowing, larger diameter (3.00" OD in comparison to the factory ~2.40" ID hose) cold-side for increased airflow and factory diameter hot-side outlet to aid in turbocharger spool. 4-ply silicone couplers are used throughout our design for a couple of reasons:
-
Heat-soak reduction: Silicone hose offers extremely low thermal heat transfer properties, especially in comparison to steel or aluminum.
-
Strength and rigidity: The rubber hoses used from the factory are known to experience expansion, which worsens as boost is increased. In time, the rubber construct weakens, causing increased likeliness of a boost leak. Our high-temp, 4-ply silicone with handle the high temperatures of the turbocharger much better than the factory rubber hose(s).
-
Smooth airflow: Custom molded silicone allows us to offer much higher flowing bends than we could with metal tubing.
Kit Includes:
- (2) aluminum charge pipe, powdercoated wrinkle-black
- (1) 1/8" NPT auxiliary service port
- (5) 4-ply silicone couplers
- (8) 304 stainless steel lined clamps
- All hardware needed for install

"No more intake pipe collapse looks way better and the fit is just like oem"
Fulfilled my expectations

Q&A
- Quick question, will this fit 2021 2.0T a-spec ?
- It is not compatible with the 2.0T TLX, sadly.
- Will a similar kit be offered for the MDX type-s?
- Yes we may be diving into more options in the future for the MDX Type S.
- I am wondering why you guys are making 2inch charge pipes tapered to 3 and some change. why not just make you're PRL intercooler a 3 inch outlet so we can get a smoother flow from the turbo intercooler to the TB. I feel like this is just creating a bottle neck in the flow. the piping should just be 3 inch from the TB to the manifold. none of this 3 inch to 2 inch.
- The PRL Intercooler is a 3" outlet on the cold side. We designed the charge piping to be compatible with both the factory intercooler(or stock upgrades) and PRL 3" outlet intercooler. When purchasing the charge pipes you will receive 1 silicone hose that necks down the the factory outlet and 1 silicone hose for the PRL Intercooler upgrade.
- When will this be available for pre-order?
- Sadly, we don't have an ETA for pre-order quite yet. If you aren't already, get on our mailing list and you'll be the first to know about product releases!
- This should fit on the 2022 tlx type S as well, correct?
- Correct!
