Carbon Fiber Turbocharger Inlet Pipe Kit

The PRL Motorsports Carbon Fiber Turbocharger Inlet Pipe Kit is engineered to optimize the performance of your L15B7-powered Honda Civic or CR-V. Designed as a direct upgrade, this kit significantly reduces airflow restriction before the turbocharger, enabling more efficient turbo operation and improved throttle response without the need for an ECU recalibration. The innovative design combines a thin-wall carbon fiber crossover pipe with a cast aluminum inlet transition. This construction approach maintains optimal air velocity while substantially increasing flow volume, providing a balanced increase in performance tailored for Honda's 1.5L engines. Key features include a cast aluminum inlet piece that matches the OEM gasket and smoothly transitions to a 76.2mm OD carbon tubing, an increased inlet/outlet diameter from the stock 38mm to 45mm, and a multi-piece design for easier installation. The kit includes high-temperature 4-ply silicone couplers and 304 stainless steel worm clamps for a secure and durable fit. Fitment includes the 2016–2021 Honda Civic 1.5T (all trims) and the 2017–2022 Honda CR-V 1.5T (requires specific OEM bracket). It is crucial to note that this kit is ONLY compatible with PRL Cobra CAI or Short Ram Intake systems and DOES NOT fit the OEM airbox. Please be aware that this product is not legal for sale or use in California on any emission-controlled motor vehicle. Construction materials include Cast 6061 Aluminum for the inlet piece, Thin-Wall Carbon Fiber Tubing, High-Temp 4-Ply Silicone Couplers, 304 Stainless Steel Interlocking Worm Clamps, an Injection Molded Evap Purge Fitting, and Buna O-Rings.
