Xotic Performance Cold Side Charge Pipe for 2017-2026 6.7L PowerStroke — 3" Aluminium, Reinforced Silicone

This cold side charge pipe by Xotic Performance is a direct-fit, heavy-duty 3-inch aluminum replacement for the factory intercooler pipe on 2017–2026 6.7L Ford PowerStroke trucks.

Built to replace brittle plastic or rubber factory parts, this intercooler charge pipe upgrades airflow durability and sealing for F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks (see vehicle exceptions below). It combines precision CNC mandrel-bent aluminum tubing, reinforced silicone boots and spring-loaded stainless T-bolt clamps to resist cracking, reduce boost leaks and hold up under towing and heavy-duty use.

How does this pipe improve airflow and turbo response?

The Xotic Performance pipe uses smooth, mandrel-bent 3-inch tubing machined to tight tolerances to reduce turbulence and pressure drop. Better internal flow helps the turbo and intercooler work more efficiently without introducing backpressure.

• 3-inch CNC mandrel-bent aluminum for consistent inside diameter
• Smoother transitions reduce airflow separation and turbulence
• Designed for direct integration with factory or aftermarket intercoolers

Will this part withstand heavy-duty, high-boost conditions?

Yes — the assembly combines 6061-T6 aluminum tubing, reinforced 4-ply silicone boots and spring-loaded T-bolt clamps to resist deformation, heat, and leaks common under load. The silicone boots are tested for high-pressure applications to maintain a reliable seal.

• Heavy-duty 6061 aluminum resists cracking and corrosion
• 4-ply silicone boots handle high boost and temperature cycles
• Spring-loaded stainless T-bolt clamps maintain clamp force through expansion

Does this pipe fit my 6.7L PowerStroke truck?

This component is a direct replacement for HC3Z-6F073-A, HC3Z-6F073-B, and PC3Z-6F073-B and fits 2017–2026 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, plus F-450 and F-550 models with the 6.7L PowerStroke (standard and high output). Note exclusions apply for certain chassis configurations.

• Direct-fit replacement for the listed Ford part numbers
• Compatible with 2017–2026 F-250/F-350 Super Duty 6.7L PowerStroke
• Fits 2017–2026 F-450/F-550 6.7L PowerStroke; not for 2023–2026 F-450/F-550 Cab & Chassis

What materials and hardware are included with the upgrade?

The kit pairs lightweight 6061 aluminum pipework with reinforced silicone boots and high-quality stainless steel T-bolt clamps. The clamps use a spring-loaded design to adjust with thermal expansion and maintain sealing pressure to avoid boost loss.

• 6061 aluminum pipe — durable and heat-resistant
• 4-ply silicone boots — flexible and pressure-rated
• Stainless steel spring-loaded T-bolt clamps — resist corrosion and retain clamp force

Who this is for: Drivers who tow, haul, or run heavy loads and want a more durable, leak-resistant cold side charge pipe than the original plastic or rubber factory part. It’s targeted at owners of 2017–2026 6.7L PowerStroke F-Series Super Duty trucks who need a robust, direct-fit replacement that sustains boost under demanding conditions and integrates with stock or upgraded intercooler systems.
