PRL Motorsports Intercooler Charge Pipe Upgrade Kit for 2022+ Honda Civic 1.5T (PRL-HC11-CP)

Our charge pipe upgrade kit uses a factory-sized hot-side outlet to help the turbocharger spool up and a smooth-flowing, bigger inner diameter cold-side charge pipe (1.25" factory opposed to 2.5") for greater airflow. Our design makes extensive use of 4-ply silicone couplers for several 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 in the factory are known to experience expansion, which worsens as the boost is increased. In time, the rubber construct weakens, causing an increased likeliness of a boost leak. Also, we have managed to melt the factory rubber hose a handful of times during our track adventures on our shop car. Our high-temp, 4-ply silicone with handles 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
