Intercoolers & charge piping

Custom aluminum end tanks, charge pipes and intakes for boosted and swapped builds, TIG-welded in Lake Grove and fit to your engine bay.

What gets built

Sized to the core and the car

Custom aluminum end tanks, tapered tanks and bigger inlets are sized to the core and the car, for high-horsepower and twin-turbo builds. Charge pipes, intakes, wastegate dumps and plumbing are routed to clear everything under the hood on single and twin setups.

One recent job was a custom intake for a C5 Corvette, built to feed a Holley Hi-Ram manifold and polished to match the engine bay. The owner wanted it to look like it belonged in the car, so every weld on the visible side was laid to be seen.
