Did you have to get the FENFAB Charge Pipe, and did you have to get a new Intercooler. HSF states you need to upgrade the intercooler to install the Charge Pipe for a BOV. Maybe I am misinterpreting that. Anyway the info is appreciated.
Yes, if you get a BOV you need the cold side charge pipe. If you get the cold side charge pipe you’ll need an intercooler and hot side charge pipe. This is because the aftermarket charge pipe and intercooler use the older 2020-24 connections, so if you replace one of the three you need the other two pieces.

I didn’t have to get all that. Fenfab BOV comes with everything you need to do an easy install. If you want to go crazy with the charge pipes then yes you have to replace all that when installing the bigger inner cooler. I did it just for the sound so if you call Lethal Performance and ask for Jake, tell him JB from Maryland sent you because that is who i use ALL THE TIME to order parts. Good luck and i hope he can get you all you want and need. Just tell him what you’re looking to do and he will total all that needs to happen !!

So you just corrected me publicly for not believing what I READ in his profile and then in the next sentence asked the same question I asked for the same reason... to confirm his model year? LOL

I asked the question because I was not aware FenFab had a custom cold side pipe for the updated connection on the 2025 stock FMIC's.

I didnt even read his profile.

What I have read is that every manufacturer of intercooler piping states that the connections at the intercooler changed in 25, so if installing piping, an aftermarket intercooler must be installed. Either every manufacturer is wrong, or FenFab has a 25 specific design. Which would be cool, but is not mentioned anywhere.

I’ll put this to bed right now. Fenfsb has not said they’ve updated to the 2025 cold side, they still use the older connection styles. So if you get a aftermarket cold side charge pipe you need an aftermarket intercooler and hot side charge pipes.
