They are light and they are quiet, and on a standard car they are fine. Add boost and they become the part everyone talks about: the plastic goes brittle with heat cycling and the moulded elbow is a known failure point, usually letting go under full load and leaving the car in limp mode a long way from home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are mandrel-bent aluminium with a wrinkle black finish, supplied with a reinforced silicone coupler and two stainless T-bolt clamps. They hold boost that plastic will not, and they do it permanently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMandrel-Bent Aluminium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA consistent internal diameter through every bend, with none of the wall-thickness variation moulded plastic carries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoves the Known Failure Point\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe factory charge pipe is the single most common boost leak on a tuned N55.
