Hello all, I own a 335i and wanted to get some suggestions on the best charge pipe for my car. Looking for any suggestion

I got the evolution raceworks one because I heard lots of good reviews about fitment. My mechanic, when he installed it, confirmed as much. It is a bit pricier, but I didn't want to have to deal with it again.

Thousands of posts on this just do some research. Choose any major brand and/or reach out to vendors... You also didnt specify whether or not you are xdrive which can limit choices.

I'm joking.

it doesn't matter what car you have. just get the right one for your Drivetrain etc.. rwd, awd etc etc.

you don't need to spend top dollar but sometimes you'll see more fitment issues with the less expensive ones. I have vrsf on both of my f30 and f25

The best charge pipe is Evolution Racewerks. It's handmade in the US with second to none finish quality.

Other really good options that will fit well and do the job include MAD & Active Autowerke.

I have the FTP combo and fitment was spot on.

FTP is another great option

If you can afford the ER one, definitely stick with that since I've never heard of much issues with them. I went with the CTS Turbo one and it's been leaking boost ever since no matter what I do

Evolution Racewerks charge pipe has the best quality and fitment. But it is more expensive.

FTP has excellent quality and fitment at a reasonable price. FTP also includes o-rings and clamps.

https://www.kiesmotorsports.com/prod...8;_ss=r?aff=22

It's important to change the old o-rings that get brittle with age. Air leaks are expensive to troubleshoot and repair. See attached photo.

The o-rings at the two intercooler connections are directional and will leak if installed backwards. See attached photo

Hope this helps!

For some reason, the CTS intercooler and charge pipe fit best together.

You might get lucky and have no issues pairing it with another brand but I have seen a few issues myself. I now only recommend it as a bundle
