Stock pipes are hardened aluminum. You won't bend those over tightening them. It would be great if that were available for a reasonable price. That's why I opt for 120. You get that strong pipe snd can polish it etc.. For the guys that don't want coatings to save a few bucks and still have a quality made kit, mild steel just doesn't work because it won't last and will look nasty from rusting.
HSP New Style Hotside intercooler tubes now in stock!
- Thread starter HSP Diesel
- Start date
I just wanted to start by saying these discussions only help us better our HSP products.
I love building parts, and strive to build the best products available to better our trucks and our sport. We did not choose to start building our tubes steel because they are cheaper or to make more money. We knew as a company we had an issue with our aluminum tubes. We are changing the material to make sure our customers are happy with our products, and they preform as well as they look.
We have tried multiple times to price stainless steel, and .120 wall aluminum tubing. These materials would be great to use, but unfortunately we cannot keep the parts affordable for our customers.
We have had one of our new hot-side tubes in our personal truck for months now with zero signs of rust. We will be using aluminized steel tubing that is coated inside and out to be sure rust will not be an issue. The tubes will be powder coated your color of choice just like before.

They come standard gloss black powdercoat, or color of your choice. (Powdercoat is included in the price) We do send them out raw if someone asked specifically. Many guys have a local powder coated they use, or choose to paint it them selfs.
The tubes are actually cheaper now. They are $199 coated and we take off $20 if you want the tube un-coated. Before with the aluminum they were $249 powder coated
Anyone have problems with these not fitting. Got the bottom
On but can't get the turbo boot to go on. Hitting the master cylinder....

We just put one on Saturday and it fit like a glove. Try putting the top in first. Once the boot is all the way on the turbo and the intercooler pipe is all the way in the boot you shouldn't have a problem with it hitting.
Pic? Trying to imagine what your having problems with.. Everyone I've ever installed fit perfect

I got it. Put the bottom in first then got it lined up and had to use a pry bar to get the boot out of the turbo snout. This thing is a pita lol
Move your clamp out a little bit. Or cut the boot shorter. It ain't gonna loose any boost being being the clamp like that. Just where its puckering that the clamp is tight.
Everything looks good, the boot won't hurt like that. Sorry you fought with it a bit, as Evan said this latest batch we've received good feedback on. Thanks!
