Hey, everyone. I was wondering if anyone here still has hahn charge pipes. I recently bought some for cheap from a guy in my area. The thing I've been reading is that they put a dent in your hood. Is there a way around this? For example, cutting the charge pipes a little to avoid this issue?

 

no i have hahn charge pipes the pipe doesnt put a dent in the hood the screws from the clamp do becuz the pipe connect from the turbo ti the upper pipe is kinda of big, turn the screws facing down and its a easy fix look at mine. the 1st pic has them up and thats wut hits the hood/ the second pic their down and no problem.

if u look at the hahn coupler the screw to tighten it i have under the pipe to clear the hood but if u can see the middle of my hood i already have a dent.

 

Yep, seems like an easy fix. Rotate the clamps downward for more clearance.

 

i have no problem with mine but i made sure all my clamps were pointed down and away from my hood

 

i have the upper one, got rid of lower cause it rusts on the inside due to not being alumunum or stainless

 

The upper is though?

 

Whoa...I have the lower pipe also. Really, it feels like aluminum. Is there a way tell if or better yet, what type of metal it is?

Also, thank you Nfamous for quick response and needed info.

 

Put a magnet on it. Aluminum is not ferrous.

 

Yep, what everyone else said. Make sure those clamps are away from the hood, also make sure the larger pipe is fully seated in the elbow so it doesn't rub the hood on shifts.
