Description

BMW F2x/F30/E82/E88 N55 (11-18) Mishimoto aluminium charge pipe kit

The Mishimoto charge pipe N55 kit replaces the plastic throttle body pipe and intercooler pipe on BMW models with the N55 engine from 2011 to 2018 with aluminium pipes. After years of heat and pressure the factory plastic pipes become brittle, and on a tuned N55 running more boost they can crack without warning.

The kit consists of two mandrel-bent aluminium pipes with CNC-machined flanges and quick-disconnects, joined by a silicone coupler that handles pressure and heat better than plastic. New O-rings, quick-disconnect clips and the mounting brackets are included. Two 1/8 NPT ports make it easy to add a boost sensor. The pipes have a black micro-wrinkle powder-coated finish.

Installation and delivery

The kit replaces the factory pipes between the intercooler and the throttle body. Mishimoto rates the installation as medium. The installation guide is available below. Lead time: 4 to 7 days.

A cracked plastic pipe leaves your N55 without boost at the side of the road. Aluminium pipes remove that weak link.

Why choose this Mishimoto charge pipe N55?

On an N55 running more boost than stock, the plastic pipes are often the first part to fail. This kit replaces both pipes at once with aluminium, with perfectly round machined quick-disconnects and a silicone coupler that can handle higher pressure. Everything you need is in the box, and Mishimoto backs it with a lifetime warranty.
