Question New Charge Pipe w/ VRSF Intercooler

Hey guys - Wanted to see what charge pipe would match up and have a good fit with a VRSF 5" intercooler? I hear not great things on there VRSF CP, so started eyeing the Evolution RW charge pipe. Any thoughts ? Much appreciated !!

It depends on what you are looking for. The best charge pipe on the market is the US-made Evolution Racewerks. Their finish and quality are second to none.

The best value is the MAD charge pipe. Its high quality, with spot-on fitment and lifetime warranty

I use a MAD chargepipe with VRSF Race intercooler. Mine is wrapped in gold reflective tape for added performance.

Got the idea from you, and watched a few youtube videos on it. I went with DEI tape from Autozone and did about 2-3 layers.

That's a excellent upgrade especially if you are a track guy.
