[QUOTE="GregWork, post: 1484170, member: 28980"] As a preventive measure, I installed Rudy's Cold Side Charge Air Pipe Upgrade on Saturday. This kit seems to be an upgrade from the previous pictures I've seen. Came with a new clip and o-ring, and the hoses look more like the 2017 OEM hose. Only trouble was with the largest clamp (is a little small), had to open it to get it on and then was difficult to reassemble with the tight tolerances. Took about 90 minutes R&R. I drove it 100 miles yesterday, and I'm surprised that it improved the power a little. I'm showing 1-2 psi more boost on the gauge and the butt dynometer feels a little more oomph. Now I'd be the first to admit that it sounds like the placebo effect, but I didn't expect any change and was surprised to feel/ see a small improvement. I only upgraded for the reliability enhancement. Wasn't looking for performance. Only thing I can think is the metal tube has a slightly larger ID and the mandrel bend smooths airflow... [/QUOTE]
