Hey guys.
Looking to replace the upper intercooler pipe with a stainless steel one, question is should I replace the pipe that runs into the intercooler too seeing its the same material as the full top pipe or is it ok to leave seeing its such a small piece.

This one just fits straight on the top side:

or this is top and to the intercooler:

Ralliart is stock no extra mods or boost increase just looking for longevity.

 

hmmm weird...replace the whole part

Thanks, I wasn't sure, I've seen people just replace the top intercooler pipe but leave the stock pipe/fitting from the intercooler.
I'll order the whole kit.

Curious, what part was weird ​​​​​​​

 

that they would sell a part that doesn't replace that pipe/fitting

iirc when i owned my RA i didnt even come across a part without that fitting lol

Got you, what I found out is the just replace the silicon around the lower pipe and reused.
I understand you the idea of not needing to replace the metal piping for just the stock intercooler (upgrade to come though).
This is the section I was talking about.

 

yeah you dont need to change that piece of the upper unless for looks.
