Availability: Ships in 24 hours

Product Code: 7B1212

Description

The COBB BMW N54 Charge Pipe both increases flow and improves the reliability of your twin turbo BMW. The 3" mandrel bent aluminum pipe replaces the brittle factory plastic pipe which can fail under increased boost pressure. The increased piping size helps to reduce turbulence and maximize flow into the engine.

Note: You may need to source a new O-Ring (P/N 13717568031) and possibly a new C-Clip if yours are missing or damaged as they are not included with this kit.

Why?

Free up airflow and improve the reliability of your N54 powered BMW.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ragtop58 from Saved me! Well done on the redesign of the N54 charge pipe! Good looking, excellent fit, very good performance. Received my Cobb charge pipe today, only 1 hour installation , super satisfied! Oh, another thing, received it overnight delivery at a minimal cost! No other vendor could get it to me that quickly and I looked diligently for hours! As a matter of fact that's why I chose Cobb and very glad I did! Thanks COBB!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Adam from Great addition after increased boost. After adding the Cobb Accessport to my 135i, it seemed like an upgrade for the stock charge pipe would be a good choice to avoid any charge pipe failure with the increased boost pressure. I was excited that Cobb had recently updated their N54 charge pipe design. I had read reviews from others indicating that the older version could be a difficult fit. Good news, the revised charge pipe fits snug but very easily in the N54 engine. It's a little more difficult to get into place than the plastic stock charge pipe, but that was expected with the upgrade of materials that don't twist or bend. I am much more confident in using all the new power in my 135i. I would say the directions could be updated as well. They were very easy to understand and included photos with each step, however step #6 in the removal process has a different intake air scoop setup than mine and my stock charge pipe had a sound generator attached to it that made remove a bit more challenging, which was not mentioned in the directions. Nothing to drastic but for those couple of moments I was on my own. And the engine bay in the directions seemed a little dirty, at least for how it is being used. I know that is pretty small but since it is a review I thought I would include it. I did notice how I could use some upgraded diverter valves now. I didn't notice it before but with the much heavier duty Cobb charge pipe the stock diverter valves seem like they need to go as well. I would like to keep everything Cobb, so maybe they will design a diverter valve upgrade and maybe even a blow off valve option. Overall, in my opinion Cobb is the best system and the best valve for my N54 BMW. I will continue to upgrade to their products.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Will from Replacing Cracked 335i Charge Pipe After my car registered a ‘limp mode’ warning, it was discovered that the stock plastic charge pipe was cracked. After researching the market, the Cobb charge pipe was the choice. Excellent aluminum construction and perfect fit. The top-quality driving experience and confidence are restored!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nick L from Brought my car back to life! My old OEM charge pipe collar was broken off. Anytime the car expected boost the car threw me an engine code, so i picked up a CP from COBB and it fixed all the issues in my car. Looks really clean and durable. I don't expect it to ever break again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by N54 E88 Lover from Love It! Fit and finish was outstanding, just what I expected from Cobb. Instructions were great, a few socket sizes were off with my model but no big deal. I highly recommend this product especially after seeing my stock pipe next to my new one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Doc D from Great addition just right size. Looks great was was just the right addition to my N54. It is just the right size any bigger and we would have had to modify the mount for my catch mount.
