Introduction
The S&B cold-side intercooler pipe replaces the failure-prone OEM intercooler pipe on 2017–2026 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 6.7L Powerstroke trucks. The factory pipe is known to burst under boost and leave the truck stranded. This upgrade uses a larger 3.50" polished aluminum CAC pipe, 5-ply aramid reinforced silicone hose and heavy-duty T-bolt clamps for improved airflow and long-term reliability.
What Does a Cold-Side Intercooler Pipe Do?
The cold-side charge pipe carries cooled, compressed air from the intercooler outlet to the intake manifold. A larger diameter pipe with less restriction improves airflow, reduces pressure drop and improves throttle response — particularly under towing or high-load conditions.
Features
- 3.50" polished aluminum CAC pipe — larger than stock diameter for less restriction and improved airflow
- 5-ply aramid reinforced silicone hose — stronger than the OEM hose, built to handle sustained boost pressure without bursting
- Heavy-duty spring-loaded T-bolt clamps — 3/4" wide stainless steel band and bridge for a secure, leak-free connection
- 2-piece design — simplifies installation, no special tools required
- OEM replacement part numbers — replaces HC3Z-6F073-A, HC3Z-6F073-B, PC3Z-6F073-B
Benefits
- Eliminates OEM pipe burst failure under boost
- Larger diameter reduces intake restriction for improved airflow and performance
- Stronger silicone hose holds up under sustained high-boost conditions
- T-bolt clamps prevent boost leaks at connection points
