The CVF-400AIC-3 Aluminum Intercooler Hot-Side + Cold-Side Piping Kit is a performance upgrade for the 2022–2025 Ford Bronco Raptor and 2024–2025 Ford Ranger Raptor equipped with the 3.0 L EcoBoost engine. This complete intercooler piping set replaces the stock rubber and plastic charge tubes with mandrel-bent aluminum piping that improves airflow efficiency and boost response. With larger diameters and smooth bends engineered for performance use, this kit sharpens throttle response, supports cooler charge air temperatures, and provides better durability over the stock hoses — all in a direct bolt-on package that installs with basic hand tools in about 90 minutes.

Why This Matters
The stock intercooler piping on turbocharged Raptor platforms can be a bottleneck for airflow and durability under sustained boost or performance tuning. By upgrading to the CVF intercooler hot-side and cold-side piping kit, you reduce flow restrictions, sharpen throttle response, and support cooler charge air temperatures — especially valuable under heavy towing, hot environmental conditions, or when paired with tunes and other performance upgrades. This kit delivers a strong foundation for more consistent power delivery and throttle feel without the cost and complexity of full intercooler replacement.
