If you own a 6.0L Powerstroke, you probably know the struggle with those factory charge pipes. They can crack, wear out, and generally cause headaches when you least expect it. That’s where the HPS Hot and Cold Side Charge Pipe Kit comes in. This kit is designed to tackle the common issues that crop up, especially if you’re pushing your truck hard.

First off, let’s talk about the hot side pipe. The stock one is notorious for failing at the boots, mainly because it sits in the engine bay without any support. This puts a ton of stress on the connection points, leading to premature failures. HPS has included a custom mounting brace in their kit to help keep everything in place and reduce that stress. It’s a simple addition that makes a world of difference.

Now, the cold side charge pipe is another weak link. Many of these trucks came with a plastic pipe that just doesn’t hold up. HPS has engineered their pipes using mandrel-bent 6061-grade aluminum, which not only cuts down the weight by about 50% but also improves airflow. Better airflow means quicker throttle response and faster acceleration—who doesn’t want that?

And let’s not forget about the intercooler boots. The stock ones are made of silicone but only have two layers of polyester reinforcement. With the 6.0L Powerstroke breathing in all that oil through the turbo, those boots can degrade quickly, leading to rips and tears. HPS has stepped it up with their custom boots, featuring 4-plies of high-temperature, high-pressure, and oil-resistant silicone. These are built to last, even under the harshest conditions.

To keep everything secure, HPS throws in some stainless steel spring-loaded T-bolt clamps. These clamps maintain constant tension, so you don’t have to worry about them loosening up with temperature changes. They’re built to resist corrosion, too, so they’ll hold up against whatever the elements throw at them.

Features:

• Boosts acceleration and throttle response for a noticeably better driving experience.
• Direct replacement for the factory hot and cold side pipes—no need for retuning or extra mods.
• Includes a custom-engineered mounting brace for added structural integrity on the hot side pipe.
