FAQ

Why should I replace the factory intercooler intake pipe?

The factory plastic pipe can crack or distort under higher boost or heat, leading to boost leaks, loss of performance, and poor engine response. Replacing it with a heavy-duty BD Diesel pipe reduces leak risk and helps maintain consistent airflow.

Does this pipe improve performance on stock trucks?

While it won’t add horsepower alone, it helps maintain boost pressure and airflow, which can improve throttle response and efficiency — especially on modified or high-boost trucks.

Is installation difficult?

No — this is a bolt-on replacement that installs with basic hand tools and stock mounting points.
