I’m looking to purchase the whipple intercooler, fenbfab v2 intake and the cvf downpipes. Would i also have to order a charge pipe with or without the BOV port? And is there anything else needs to purchase along with intake Do you guys recommend the hot side charge piping?

The Whipple intercooler is way more expensive then the CV-Fab intercooler which performs the exact same. The 2023s don’t have a factory BOV, so depends if you want to add one or just go without it. If you’re going to tune the car, hot and cold side charge pipes will net some gains, although not worth the money if that’s all your going to do.

Definitely looking to add a BOV. What you recommend and which charge pipe if needed.Once i get everything done i will 100% be getting it tuned. Only thing she got rn is the 3” thermal

If i go with the cvf intercooler i see there is an option for cold pipe kit ,hot pipe kit or both?

I second the CVF intercooler. As for the hot/cold charge pipes, I recommend FenFab. He has the option for a cold side with or without a BOV.

thanks for the information looking at the fen fab charge pipe with the HKS Bov now, was unaware the 2023 didn’t have one.

CV-Fab has the cheapest bundle, you can buy a intercooler and both hot side and cold side charge pipes for a little over $1200. Pretty good price.

I saw the bundle but didn’t see a option to have a bov port on the cold side

Oh yeah, then go without Fenfab. Amazing product and quality, was just giving you some options.

Appreciate the info. What downpipes would you or do you use?

I have the CVFab intercooler and it has worked flawlessly through 3 Vegas summers. I did FenFab charge pipe (cold side only). I also have CVFab downpipes which have been great, and I'm really happy with the sound hooked to my Thermal 2.5" exhaust.

Was wondering has anyone purchased the black color one or everyone going with silver?

I went with black. Can't tell there's anything out of the ordinary when you're looking at it.
