Using this cold side charge pipe is easy. First, remove the stock pipe that connects the intercooler to the engine. Then, install the new SD - INTRPIPE - 6.7P - COLD - 17 pipe in its place. Make sure to use the provided silicone boots and stainless steel spring clamps for a tight and reliable connection. When it comes to maintenance, regularly check the clamps to ensure they're tight. Look at the silicone boots for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, replace the parts as needed. And don't forget to keep the pipe clean. A simple wipe - down every now and then will help maintain its polished powder - coated Sinister Blue finish. When installing or handling the pipe, be gentle to avoid any dents or scratches. This will ensure your pipe lasts a long time and keeps your 6.7L Superduty running at its best.
