no.. basically all aftermarket charge piping will be routed to the factory IC locations one way or another, and the same goes for aftermarket intercoolers designed specifically for the vehicle. They are designed to work with the factory intercooler piping.. so aside for t-bolt clamps, nothing extra should be needed

the charge pipes from zzp and treadstone are different.
if you look at treadstones cobalt intercooler (the large cooler) the cooler has straight to side connections for the charge pipes. on the zzp the intercooler has the hose connections pointing to the rear of the car on the intercooler. from what im seeing they are different bro

** Note if you just want the treadstone intercooler and go with their BETA kit then yes it goes to factory locations but you now have extra couplers to worry about. if you want the larger Treadstone the you will have problems. Not saying either is a bad product just showing you the companies ways of doing it. look at the difference in design between
large treadstone and zzp lnf below. hope helps some, good luck bro!

Treadstone TR12 intercooler offered in their full kit also avail seperately


ZZP LNF Intercooler also available seperate or by kit

i have the injen charge pipe and had no issues with it when it came to installing my treadstone tr10
i would recommend just buying the lower charge pipe from treadstone since you probably still have the factory rubber one i didn't know they made it until after the fact

^^You don't. Unless you're planning on relocating your MAF there.

treadstone makes a lower without the maf relocate i mean if you wanted full hard pipes since you are already taking everything off to install the front mount it was just a suggestion
