I got my hands on some hahn charge pipes (lower and upper charge pipes with couplers). Now I'm in the market for a intercooler. Will these charge pipes fit both, one of them, or neither?

If you have one of these setups, what was the difficulty level of the installation? Any helpful tips are appreciated.

 

I hear that the treadstone one takes a bit more effort to make fit than the ZZP does. As for installation, I mean if you are semi competent and have the right tools, it's fairly straight forward. You've gotta take your bumper off though.

 

You'll be fine. Either one you get though will be fine and you'll enjoy it. Installation is pretty simple and if you follow the how to you'll be ok.

 

yea, I believe it should be fairly easy, but I'm NOT looking forward to installing the lower CP. I read on another thread that there's some 90 degree piping needed to install the TR models or does this comes with all aftermarket intercoolers for the LNF?

 

i have the hahn charge pipes with the Treadstone TR8 intercooler. everything went together fine. the lower pipe can be a pain in the ass but as long as you instal everything at the same time as the intercooler it should be a lot easier as it will give you some more movement to work with. i would remove old intercooler instal piping and then put on new intercooler. to me that would be the easiest way.

 

I agree and this is my initial plan. I ordered and received my zzp intercooler yesterday. Will do the install this saturday.

 

^^This.

I have the Hahn CP and ZZP IC. Everything fits, but like you said the lower CP is a bitch to put on. Having the intercooler off should help a lot. Good luck with the install!

 

by the way, do i need solder anything for the lower CP install?

 

No, its just a straight forward swap.

 

Sweet. Well, got the rest of my parts today, CM Springs. Noob question, which spring is for the front and which for the rear?

Here's the ZZP intercooler...so shiney...lol





Here's the rest of the stuff

 

Dat diet Sunkist....

 

Hey, my gf loves the stuff. Also, not a big fan of soda in general lol

 

Haha understood! But nice IC, I like the TR10 personally but I heard good things about the ZZP IC. Have fun with the charge piping... especially the lower.. IT'S A BITCH lol.

 

Thanks man. Not looking forward to the lower cp....at all. Beer is stocked tho.

 

Hey, I have one small question and its about the upper charge pipe. The lower piece for upper charge pipe some what rest on the frame that holds up the radiator. Is that correct or do I have to switch the piping around???
