What does the cold side intercooler pipe do on a 6.7 Power Stroke?

The cold side intercooler pipe connects the intercooler to the intake manifold, carrying cooled, compressed air into your engine. It plays a key role in performance and engine reliability, especially under boost.

Why should I replace the factory cold side pipe on my 6.7L Power Stroke?

The OEM cold side pipe on the 6.7 Power Stroke (especially 2011–2016 models) is made of plastic and prone to cracking or blowing off under boost. Our upgraded kits feature reinforced silicone and billet adapters for leak-free durability.

What trucks are your cold side kits compatible with?

Our cold side intercooler kits are designed for 2011–2024 Ford F250, F350, and F450 trucks equipped with the 6.7L Power Stroke engine. Fitment depends on the specific turbo setup, so check each product page for details.

Do I need tuning after installing an intercooler pipe upgrade?

No. All of our cold side intercooler pipe kits are direct-fit upgrades that require no tuning or ECU modifications. They’re bolt-on replacements using factory-style connections.

What’s included in a cold side intercooler pipe kit?

Each H&S Motorsports kit includes: 5-ply stainless-reinforced silicone hose Billet aluminum adapter(s) Stainless steel T-bolt clamps Installation hardware Full instructions Everything is built in the USA and backed by our lifetime warranty.

Can I install this cold side kit on my own?

Yes — most kits can be installed with basic hand tools in under an hour. No cutting or permanent modifications are required. We also provide a detailed install video and instructions.

Cold Side Intercooler Pipe Kits for Ford 6.7L Power Stroke

The cold side intercooler pipe is one of the most common failure points on the Ford 6.7L Power Stroke. Factory plastic piping is exposed to heat, boost pressure, and oil contamination, which can cause it to crack, split, or blow off under pressure — often without warning.

H&S Motorsports Cold Side Intercooler Pipe Kits are designed as direct OEM replacements that eliminate this weak point. Built for reliability and proper fitment, these kits help maintain consistent boost pressure while improving long-term durability under real-world driving conditions. If you’re dealing with a failed cold side pipe — or want to replace it before it becomes a problem — this is a smart, preventative upgrade.

Why the Cold Side Intercooler Pipe Fails

Factory cold side pipes are typically made from plastic and rubber materials that degrade over time. Repeated heat cycles, boost pressure, and oil exposure can weaken the pipe, leading to sudden failure — especially on hard-working or tuned trucks.

Benefits of a Cold Side Intercooler Pipe Upgrade

Upgrading the cold side intercooler pipe helps restore boost integrity and reduces the risk of limp mode caused by boost leaks. Reinforced materials and OEM-style fitment provide a more secure, long-lasting solution compared to factory components.

OEM-Style Replacement with No Tuning Required

At H&S Motorsports, our Cold Side Intercooler Pipe Kits are designed with durability, reliability, and ease of installation in mind. Kits are engineered to bolt on cleanly using factory mounting points and do not require tuning.
