**NEW RELEASE** Cobb Tuning Hardpipe Kit for EVO X Polished and Gunmetal

Cobb just released their hardpipe kit for the EVO X. Let us know what you think. I personally really like the Gunmetal polished is to blingy for me.

COBB Tuning unveils its latest performance piece for the EVO X, the COBB Intercooler Hard-Pipe Kit, and it does not fail to
impress. It is currently the only kit that replaces ALL intercooler pipes (including the BPV) with weld-free single-pipe aluminum
tubing. This uncompromising kit has the most comprehensive list of performance enhancing features available. Add the
precision fit and one-of-a-kind appearance and it is clear that the COBB Intercooler Hard-Pipe kit for the EVO X is unequaled.
As with all intercooler hard-pipe kits, the stock rubber hoses to the intercooler are replaced with solid pipes to eliminate
distortion under boost. But the devil is in the details, and that is where similarities end. The COBB EVO X Hard-Pipe Kit
consists of single piece pipes made from mandrel bent aluminum tubing on both the cold side and hot side of the
intercooler. The results are weld-free pipes from the turbo outlet to intercooler inlet and from the intercooler outlet to
the throttle body, without unsightly mid-pipe silicone hose couplings that can disrupt flow or potentially blow off under
boost. The hot and cold pipe diameters are increased from the stock 2.375” to 2.5”, enhancing flow even further.
The By-Pass-Valve (BPV) gets its own hard-pipe from the cold side of the intercooler, maintaining the factory location and
orientation. Maintaining this connection from the cold side ensures that cool air is fed back to the intake system when the
valve is in bypass mode, preventing overheating of the air charge post turbo. The BPV is located using a visually stunning
COBB logo bridge that connects the BPV hard-pipe to the hot side hard-pipe.
The COBB EVO X Hard-Pipe kit is one of the very few that will fit with the factory air box in place (or the optional COBB SF
Intake) as well as the stock front engine cover. The kit is completed with high quality COBB silicone hose couplings and
heavy duty T-Bolt hose clamps to eliminate those embarrassing hose blow-offs than can occur when demanding the most
from your EVO X.
The kit is available in Gunmetal powder coat or can be special ordered in high polished aluminum finish. Painstaking effort goes
in to the fabrication, handling and packaging of our high polish kit, ensuring the parts arrive with a beautiful unblemished finish.

EVO X Intercooler Hard-Pipe Features:
• Hot side pipe is single piece, weld-free
mandrel bent aluminum tubing increased to 2.5”
• Cold side pipe is single piece, weld-free mandrel
bent aluminum tubing increased to 2.5”
• Minimal hose couplings for clean appearance
and reduced blow-off potential
• OEM BPV location and orientation
maintained with BPV hard-pipe
• Eye-catching COBB logo hard-pipe bridge
• Fits with OEM airbox or optional COBB SF Intake
• Fits with OEM engine cover
• COBB silicone hose couplings
• Heavy duty T-Bolt hose clamps
• Gunmetal powder coat or high polish aluminum



Being that we are right down the street from cobb we are the first place to normally get these so hopefully we can get one on a car for some testing soon.

$600 would have been my guess too. Not bad I guess, considering it's aluminum and the top pipe is a 1 peice.

Yes for the MSRP you get everything pictures that is the UICP, BOV Return Hardpipe and LICP including couplers and nice T-bolt clamps.

Pretty sweet if you ask me.

I think they went with blue to match their turbo inlet pipe but if it is a big deal I am sure you can find replacement couplers in black for fairly inexpensive
