[PWillette]

Has anyone out there installed AFE's (or other brands) charge pipe kit?

I actually have the only pair on a bronco right now. We are doing the testing for AFE for the charge pipes and cold air intake. The Quality is awesome and they are a awesome company to work with. We should have the first cold air intake from AFE in about a month or so when the tooling gets completed.

Notice any difference in terms of power and whatnot, Brad?

How was the install for these? Notice any difference? I am about to pull the trigger on these and the aftermarket intercooler I believe

Install isn't bad at all for those who are mechanically inclined, the 2.3 leaves you plenty of room to work with.

Think I may have spoken to you about these and the intercooler yesterday. Thanks for the reply and help!

Did you notice any performance improvements from your "butt" dyno with just the upgraded AFE charge pipes? Did you get your AFE performance intake? How is the combination of the two?

I just installed a K&N performance intake (purchased on a whim without much investigation of other products). I like AFE quality from what I see online and in these pictures...I may look at these charge pipes instead of the K&N as my next upgrade.

Any noticeable power gains? Low end/High end?

From these pics, it appears you have the stock airbox. Have you added AFe Cold Air intake? Did that add any noticeable power on top of the charge pipes?

I am thinking of getting these for my next upgrade. I have the K&N Cold Air Intake and they have charge pipes but these look like better quality.

I will say the K&N was a noticeable increase for me.

I actully have these afe charge pipes on my 2.3 aswell and the cold pipe has been nothing but a problem. I put it on within 20 miles check engine light comes on for evap leak. I put stock one on run 100+ miles no check engine light. I tried contacting aFe and no response

Well that sucks to hear. Keep posted if you get a response from AFE or solve the issue.

Go Mishimoto, they got both pipes AND an intercooler available

Did you ever get AFE to respond to your cold pipe issue? Any solution?

I’ll chime in. Their charge pipes won’t fit my CPE intercooler despite them confirming it would. I believe the issue is the lip on their intercooler adapter isn’t deep enough to seat properly. I reached out to them to see what they say and reinstalled my stock pipes in the meantime.

I think I can work around it if they don’t have a solution; but I’ll have to do some thinking and make some custom sized coupling hoses.

Just put mine on the other day. They do not fit with the Whipple IC without a bit of Dremel work. The edge that contacts the IC needs to be beveled to accommodate the larger Whipple housing. Not a big deal but definitely not what I was expecting for the $$$.
