If you’re looking to really amp up your 2nd Gen TLX Type S, the HPS Performance Polished Cold Side and Hot Side Intercooler Charge Pipe Kit (part number 17-164P) is where it’s at. This isn’t just another upgrade; it’s a game-changer for your ride. Those stock rubber charge hoses? They’re notorious for being restrictive and, let’s face it, prone to failure. This kit tosses those out the window and replaces them with something that actually works.
The cold side features a 3-inch mandrel-bent tube made from lightweight, corrosion-resistant 6061 aluminum. What does that mean for you? Better airflow and less turbulence, which translates to more power when you hit the gas. You’ll feel the difference, trust me. And when it comes to installation, you’re not just slapping things together. The kit includes high-pressure, high-temperature resistant 4-ply silicone couplers and tough 100% stainless steel embossed hose clamps. That means you’re getting a solid, leak-free seal when you’re pushing the boost.
Now, let’s talk about the hot side. It’s got a custom 2-3/8” hose made from high-temp reinforced silicone. This stuff is built to last—unlike rubber, which can crack and degrade over time. Upgrading to this kit means you’re not just getting better performance; you’re investing in reliability. Whether you're cruising around town or hitting the track, you’ll notice enhanced throttle response and a longer lifespan for your components.
Features:So if you're ready to take your TLX to the next level, this HPS kit is a solid investment. It’s built to last and designed to perform, so you can enjoy every drive without worrying about those pesky stock parts letting you down.
