No worries! Hot side pipes will be up for order soon. They're coming.

Just curious, will the hot side pipes work if you have an aFe intake?

Still a bit of a ways out, but if you'd like a custom invoice for the piping including the Black November discount shoot me a PM and we'll take care of you.

Hot side piping leads air into the intercooler, cool air goes out to the throttle body via the cold side. The OEM hot side has a restriction point that's pretty heavy - first and foremost the piping resolves that.

@CVF-Jason any word on compatibility with the PHEV model? I think if the brackets would mount/rest on the circled parts it should work. (image of normal ST, not the PHEV version. The PHEV has 2 extra coolers that would go beneath the intercooler.

No word yet, but I did ask one of our guys again to try to get a definitive answer. If it makes a difference if any other brands do fit ours will as well.

Unfortunately, none of the other brands would be a direct fit due to the extra coolers getting in the way of the supports. I'm not sure how that's done on the CVFab intercoolers.

If the intercooler would get supported like i said in the previous post, on the 'rails'? (not sure if that's the correct term!?) it wouldn't be a problem.

Thats not to mention i'm sure there are smoother bends for a more free flow and larger piping i assume....

Gotcha! I will ask to be certain, but if other intercoolers are seeing their brackets hit the extra pieces then I would assume ours would as well.

Yes sir, mandrel bends in aluminum piping with a larger diameter flowing into and out of the intercooler.

Hey Jason I have a 2023 ST. I'm interested in purchasing your FMIC (black), charge pipe and possibly downpipes for my ST. I was wondering if you are running any up coming sales like you did around this time last year. Please let me know as this would greatly influence my purchase. Thanks!
