NO TUNE POWER ADDER?? HPS Charge pipes installed...

It mates to the using the factory tube

Pardon my ignorance but what does this mean? I'm leaning towards the HPS but how does it mate to the intercooler in that case?

It mates to the using the factory tube

so it'd be stock diameter vs the larger PRL one?

Only one end the silicone mate to factory is stock but other end of the silicone connect to HPS tube is 2.5". A lot bigger than stock

Does the cold side of the PRL intercooler have a larger exit to match the new connection piece or does it match the OEM? I don't remember when I installed it. If that section isn't larger, it's mostly a moot point. Granted a cast piece could allow a smoother flow transition. I don't see it being a big difference regardless.

It matches OEM

Both cold and hot side of PRL intercool match OEM so the unless the PRL charge pipe cold side connector is tapered inside it makes no difference.
HSP was only manufacturer with charge pipe available when I ordered. if I had to do it again I would still get the HPS with proven gains.. I was kind of shocked with the AHC video in which they installed PRL HVI AND CHARGE pipes in Mikes ITS and only got 5 more hp and 14 fb torque..

they didnt measure the PRL charge pipes in vid but pretty sure it's 1/4 inch bigger on both hot and cold sides same as HPS.


when I added my charge pipes with Prl intercooler and inlet I netted 18HP and 14lbs which tells me the HPS do make more power and these are all aluminum and will not suck in and flatten with boost like silicon hoses can..

I preordered the PRL HVI when it was available for presale and going to dyno it to see the gains on just the HVI seperately.

Well shoot, I should’ve went HPS instead it sounds like.

Close ups of the additional PRL cold side inlet for reference.
I still feel like the rigidity of the full aluminum HPS set would be more beneficial at higher hp applications, but that inlet size difference seems huge.

Also PSA tighten your gear clamps properly, Gridzilla had a boose leak due to an issue with a geae clamp on his cold side I believe.
