Pipes fit perfect. Shipping was fast and was a simple install. Much better than the factory plastic.

AFE Bladerunners

Very great fit. Install was straight forward. Fit well and makes a difference. Very happy with these pipes.

tough install but end product improved power, mpg

AFE needs to mark intercooler end of the hot hose. intercooler couplings have small orings - cold side intercooler collar got pinched and rolled out of groove. found the air leak with hand around collar while wife revved into the whine - was able to remove hose end & collar without removing metal tube. Yes, I had greased o-ring so lucky it didnt cut the o-ring. reinstalled. now blows up cold hose like a balloon, no leak. 3 hours in I thought for sure they sent the wrong kit - but I had the hot side hose reversed. 2 installers could do job in 1/3 the time. my 2020 2.7L chevy had 3 hose tie downs that had to be pulled - not discussed in instructions. Also, my purge electrical connector never did pull off (white tab clicked to lock/unlock but it was firmly on there) - was afraid it would shatter or break solenoid, so could not completely remove intake runner- that increased my time too. was tough getting the turbo and throttle connectors seated all the way on because of twisted hoses - again- better a 2 person job. doing it again - I would install the hoses on the top metal runners first, install on turbo and throttle body first and then push hose out of way - install intercooler collars, pack the factory wire clip and clamp onto the intercooler and then slip on collar, pop lower hose on, slide on the clamp, and then pop over the wire clip into groove. I tightened the clips to 3/4 compress the spring- no word if that was right on instructions. Clamps are boss. In the end I think it's a very high quality kit and will be easy to remove, if I ever need to. learning curve was a steep for me, but instructions were pretty good - especially the checklists and required tools. Running - it's not a 100hp tire smoking upgrade for the 2.7 - however, the engine power is way smoother that it was before and MPG jumped UP. Got them because deer strike repair never got the intercooler hoses 100% back on right. actually, the cold side was cocked sideways a little when removing - they def were not sealing the best. I do wish the AFE intercooler collars had a thicker Oring. suggestion - grease and lightly stretch the smaller collar Orings out so they take up the groove more and dont twist out of groove like mine did on the cold side. 5 hours install for me - 1 person. I could repeat it in 2 hours next time. gonna run the tank of 87 out and refill with premium next tank to see if that gets tires smoky. 2-3mpg jump im seeing so far, which is great.

AFE BladeRunner Intercooler Hot and Cold Side Tubes

The good points ...Very well made, Have had them on the truck for 3 months no issue The bad , The left side from the turbo was very easy to fit . The right side was much more difficult and took a long time to get right. The very high tech clamps that were included did not fit at all. I had to use the original factory clamps

AFE Bladrunner down tubes

They are very easy to install and the fit is perfect and gave me a crips response even with air charger and pedal command I still noticed the difference and I was able to pull the cotton out of my boost gauge the air is flowing through smoothly
