2ND GEN 1.6T OEM INTERCOOLER HOT PIPE UPGRADE
Easy to install, great quality and more power top end.
Gain up to 6whp and 5wtq at the wheels.
We replace the OEM intercooler hot side tubing with mandrel bent 2.25in diameter pipe for maximum and smooth airflow. With no welded seam you get a clean looking and fully functional part. Power is gained from an approximate 19% gain in airflow capability over the OEM pipe.
This pipe is part of our Front Mount Intercooler kit for the 17+ Elantra Sport and 19+ VT. Purchasing this product will also eliminate the need for the Resonator Delete Pipe.
Our pipe comes powdercoated in a wrinkle black, for a subtle OEM look and feel. We use very thick silicone couplers and stainless steel t-bolt clamps for a complete installation.
This product is not CARB Exempt and does not ship to California or other C.A.R.B. States.

2020 Forte GT. Stock Tune. I waited a long time for the product. When I received it, one of the couplers was wrong. I made sxth aware. Never received a replacement. Had to buy my own. There was also a price drop during the time I was waiting. Apparently due to the fact sxth was no longer going to be providing a bracket for the pipe. I had to reach out to see if I would be receiving a bracket. I was not. I had to ask for them to honor the new price since I wasn't getting a bracket. They handled it, but I don't feel I should be the one to have reach out and ask. Plus the pipe really needs a bracket. I ended up making my own. Now for the actual review of the hot pipe. Works well with stock intercooler. Months later I purchased a tork intercooler, and tried it with both the factory hot pipe and sxth hot pipe. I prefer the factory pipe matched with the aftermarket intercooler. I don't race my car. It's my daily driver. For my use the hot pipe and aftermarket intercooler together made for to much of a loss of low end response. The intercooler with factory pipe felt much better for a daily. People racing and tracking they cars might have different results. If you're going to push more boost, and drive the car hard a lot, this will be a worthwhile upgrade. If your car is a daily, and you want to keep stock intercooler, the hot pipe upgrade is also worth while. But in my opinion, a better upgrade for a daily driver is to find an upgraded intercooler option that works with oem plumbing. My rating is based off what I think of the product, along with my overall experience. I was not hasty about making the review. I've had the pipe for a long time now.

Amazing Build Quality. Love the black powder coat finish. Car feels great.
Recommend getting hot pipe before you upgrade in the intercooler just get a feel of some power before the next upgrade
This is a "must have" for a light mod. Easy to install and noticeable power gains. Driveability is very much improved and it doesn't feel like it loses steam after 4.5k rpm. No noticeable increase in engine or turbo noise, which I prefer. The only thing I would nitpick is that the pipe does not have mounting brackets like the OEM pipe.
The hot pipe is a clear upgrade. The intercooler can breather more efficiently and you can feel the difference. Well worth the swap. Parts made by SXTH are top quality and set the mark for aftermarket parts.
High quality, perfect fitment and the bracket was an awesome fit as well and keeps the pipe nice and secure. Love the clamps and couplers as well, very high quality!
Easy install , good fit, and so far no issues. I can’t really comment on performance gains cause I’m stock tune 2019 Veloster, so I’m fighting the ecu for performance gains lol
Looks and feels good on both ends of the spectrum. Accelerating though the gears feels smoother.
