2011-2014 Ford F150 EcoBoost aFe Bladerunner Charge Pipe | 46-20129-1

I started my build @ 2 months ago. First Gibson cat back 2.5 exhaust and AFE CAI. When ordering my Livewire for my F-150 the salesmen recommended the Bladerunner charge pipe. I was skeptical at first. Well I bolted it on today and all I can say is what a dramatic difference. I still have not uploaded my custom tunes yet, waiting to empty this tank of gas. Of all the bolt on products to date this Charge pipe is by far the best thing I have done. You can really feel the difference in power and the whole truck feels much smoother going thru the gears. Thanks Stage 3, you've got a customer for life. Now time to save $$$$ for a new intercooler!

Well made piece, 10 minutes to install while truck was on the dyno. Truck only cooled down for time that part was installed. Made 13rwp and 11ftlbs over prior run. Truck only has Revolution Automotive tune and CAC. Happy with product and Stage Three shipping/customer service.

My truck has AFE stage 2 CAI, AFE 4inch cat-back, SCT tuner with 93 octane, and kooks Y-pipe with high flow cats And I finally installed the AFE charge pipe and I must say I am VERY disappointed in the ingenuity and quality assurance, I had to clean the metal shaving and grease and dirt out of the pipe right out of the box, the product is fairly easy to install you don't even need to jack the truck up and my truck has a 2/3 drop, after installation I boost/leak tested the pipe and it had a small leak around the MAF sensor and sensor bolts after that was fixed the biggest difference I felt is it took the turbo/boost lag completely out, I would recommend this product as the last mod if you must have optimum performance!

I ordered and installed the aFe charge pipe, stage 2 cold air intake, and cover. The fit was ok and the total install took about 2.5hrs. I agree w/ the other reviews...the charge pipe does not seem line up very easily. I was so excited to take her for a spin after I finally got everything installed! My impression of thes bolt on mods- eh...the sound of the intake is nice and there may be a little more response when you hit the pedal, but don't expect anything drastic. Not bad for the money but at the end of the day these parts are really just part of a performance package. I'm hoping that when combined with exhaust & and tune it will result in noticeable gains and hopefully better gas mileage also. These are my future plans, so I'll keep you posted.

A great enhancement to my truck - worth the money - much better air flow from the intercooler.

Easy to follow instructions. I used the written instructions along with a youtube video to make installation flawless. This charge pipe along with the cold air intake completely removes the turbo hesitation. Next step is a programmer!

I didn't have a lift so it took a little longer to install but not bad. First test drive produced a loud whistle, which means a leak of course. I found the lower end mating to the intercooler was leaking I attempted to tighten but started to get fearful of over tightening and damaging the plastic flange. I still can't seem to get it airtight due to the lip on the flange. Anyone else have this? Anyhow it still increased my milage by 3 mpg with this and stage 2 intake and no tuning. Hopefully I can resolve the leak issue it's frustrating.

A word of caution for those with aftermarket CAC. I'm running the Wagner intercooler and with the slight change of exit of the driver's side piping, the Bladerunner was nearly impossible to install as is. The clearance provided no less than an inch and a half of pipe clearance which meant trying to push past the coupling piece was an exercise in futility. I also tried pushing the coupler all the way on the Bladerunner and then aligning it and pushing the coupler back down....still no joy. The only way I could install it was by removing the CAC completely and feeding the piece in before bolting the CAC back in. Was a huge pain in the ass, and because the clearance doesn't take advantage of the full length of the coupler, it is very hard to get a good seal on the provided clamps. I did end up having the same whistle that someone else reported and went back in and tightened down until it stopped moving. Overall, the quality of this product is excellent and I would certainly recommend this after seeing how many bends are in the OEM piece. Specifically, there is almost a 90 bend in one section that would certainly impede performance. But be prepared for a long install (and possibly needing an extra set of hands) if you are not running the OEM CAC. Will provide an update on if this results in any increased MPG or observable power. So far, nothing that I can tell.

Fit and finish is very good and alot more solid than stock pipe. Noticed more torque down low and truck seems to pull harder. Definitly smoother acceleration through the gears.

For the price of this product I really wondered if it would be worth the money. When I took off the stock pipe I could see how it would be much better than the stock one because the bends in the pipe are much smoother and would help air flow much better than the stock one. (I always wondered why the manufactures would install such a worthless item) I do feel a difference in power and am happy with my purchase.

THIS PRODUCT IS A MUST!!!! WHY NOT GET ALL THE HP OUT OF YOUR TRUCK AND IMPROVED MPG. YOU CAN FEEL THE DIFFERENCE..SO EASY MY 13YR OLD SON INSTALLED IT FOR ME.

Ever since I bought this piece I can actually hear my turbos. Definitively a difference in horsepower. I wad able to install it in less than 20 minutes very easy. Id highly recommended getting the BBK throttle body 73mm. To go with it makes a huge difference.

Very easy install, did the 73mm BBK throttle body at the same time. Took all of 30 minutes for both. Fitment was good except for lower silicone on the charge pipe, it is probably one size too large where the coupler fits onto the tank. Other than that, very happy ! Thanks Stage 3

Got this pipe just as described very good quality easy to install my truck has 6 lift with 35 tires and it will tear them off this pipe has added lots of noticeable power will be buying more products from stage 3 they are exelent to deal with great sales response and fast shipping thank you stage 3 motorsports

The installation was easy and you'll notice the power difference. Well worth the money and 30 minute install if that.

Excellent fitment and pretty easy install. Installed bbk throttle body and afe stage 2 cold air intake at the same time. Went together very nicely and quality is great.

Install was harder than expected had to remove brackets for intercooler. After that much easier. Nice product dropped air intake temps at cruising speed by a few degrees increase in turbo sound. I would recommend this as a nice add on to any Eco boost.

easy to install more hp and tq

added the charge pipe along with my 4 exhaust, afe intake, and tuner. Hard to tell any difference but maybe slight more resp

I have to say I was quite skeptical about this product. However, after the 15-20 minute install the test drive showed hoe great this product is. As others stated it takes the delay out of the turbo. Paired with the AFE cat back mach exhaust, intake system, and throttle body this truck has come to life. Thanks to Noah for all of your assistance. Shipping was two days. I can't say enough about the quality and ease of installation. Great product

Installed with bbk 73mm throttle body. Easy install packaged great and as always amazing service from the team at stage 3 motorsports

aFe bladerunner charge pipe works very good improved MPG .You have little better throttle performance. Will worth your money install easy you will need to work the hose at the throttle body its a little hard to get on but not bad.The install takes about 15-20 minutes very easy.

This charge pipe is a great item to complete my Wagner intercooler, Volant Powercore Cold air intake, and 73mm throttle body. They are a great combination to wake up your intake system.

Fits my 3.5 Eco like a glove...about 25 minute install start to finish. Video and instructions spot on. Part of airflow system including performance CAI, throttle body and exhaust. Easy upgrade that delivers, high quality product and fast shipping from S3M!!

Put this on last night with the AFE dual filter CAI. This thing was kind of a beast to get on. Word of advice attach it up top first but leave it a little loose. Then connect it down below. Connect the rubber sleeve to the pipe first** then tighten to the intercooler. Mine blew off because I didn't tighten it enough when I installed it. The clamps on the intercooler have to be tightened all the way down fyi. I had some metal shavings on the inside of the tubing on the CAI but this one didn't have that issue. AFE could have done a better job designing the pipe so it lines up better, they overshot it by about 1/2 inch, not sure if this was done to accomodate after market parts etc but it's not a superb fit for the stock throttle body and CAC. Overall 3 stars based on almost $300 retail pricing should be a bit more refined. Also the metal AFE logo on the pipe is just a sticker and almost fell off while installing, should be spot welded to the pipe. All around I was expecting a bit more from AFE on their products.

intallation was perfect , keep improving my truck

I installed this along with the ATP intercooler, AFE cold air intake and BBK throttle body which made it easier because I had to pull everything ot anyway. I installed the charge pipe after I had the intercooler in. Everything fit perfect and the hardest part was connecting the charge pipe to the intercooler. I had to use a pick to guide the rubber around the intercooler flange. I could install it with the truck on the ground. This last of the install probably took about a half an hour with the removal of the stock charge pipe.

Man this thing is awesome!!!! When coupled with the BBK Throttle body it makes one hell of a difference. Super simple to install. Next is to upgrade the intercooler and downpipes. Everything AFE I have purchased has been top notch quality. Highly recommended.

My truck is stock with 125000 miles, Shipping was fast, install wasnt bad. Seat of the pants is noticeable gain in get up and go, MPG for short ride was higher than average. I'm satisfied. Can't wait for the next upgrade!

i installed the afe charge pipe and it was a piece of cake the only problem in the sleeve that fits over the throttle body was alittle tight but i figured it out

I was very impressed with the charge pipe. The fit was very good and I was very impressed with the performance.

Great buy guys! Well worth the money! Easy to install and you can definitly hear the air flow! The response is better when you take off!

easy install. just takes some patience. Awesome gains in hp and torque.

Nice addition to the rest of my parts on my truck..Be prepared for some patience to get it lined up to fit.Great flow.Noticeable increase in HP and added a bit more whistle from the turbos..For the price i recommend it..Thanks Stage 3

Another great buy. Little tricky going on and remember to tighten the clamps good.

Got this along with new plugs and my tuner. I should have installed this first and just tested it out to see how noticeable it will be. But no complaints. It was kinda tricky to install, but no longer than 15 minutes to get the old one out and this back in its place.

Well made product, you can't never go wrong with anything that afe makes. The fitment sucks but once you get it into place it's not going anywhere. With a tune you can't really tell a difference, I put my truck back to stock just to see if I could tell a difference and you can tell a major difference in throttle response. And it's keeping my ect's and egt's a lot cooler. I would recommend the product to anybody looking for a good cheap mod.

Hands down best price here, and made a bigger improvement than expected! Dollar for dollar best upgrade ive done for performance. Must buy for only couple hundred bucks

great product with a pretty good fitment. when compared to stock, it is a much straighter flow of charged air. the truck is slightly more responsive, and the sound of the blowoff is much more pronounced. I would recommend this product.

I installed this the same time as my intake. Definitely spools up faster and better mileage. Have not programmed it yet. I do get the whistle and will soon be purchasing the cover for the AFE intake. Good quality part just a pain to install. A little patience and an extra set of hands you will have it installed in no time.

Simple installation, easy to follow instructions. Removed old part and installed new pipe in minutes.

This was very easy to put on, it only took about 30 mins to take the old one off and put the new on. This combined with the 4 inch exhaust I just put on made a huge power differences nod seems to help out with better mileage.
