Intercooler Piping Kits
I am looking to upgrade the intercooler piping on my 6.7 and there are a couple options out there. I know that only the cold side piping needs to be replaced for reliability reasons. Anyone have any feedback or experience with the following kits:
1. H&S Cold Side kit that replaces the butterfly valve.

2. AFE cold or hot side piping. Are their gain claims valid?

3. Absolute Performance cold side kit.

4. Mishimoto Piping Kit

Will there be any gain other than reliability with any of these kits? AFE is claiming flow and hp/tq gains.
Is there any gain by removal of the butterfly valve that H&S and Absolute can remove?
Thank you in advance!

Not really any noticeable performance gains. Most run the H&S kit. Make sure you get the right one though. The kit that deletes the throttle valve has to have tuning to run. Reliability is the biggest factor with this upgrade.

That is correct. The H&S and Absolute kits allow tuned vehicles to remove the butterfly valve that is un-plugged with tuning anyways.

H&S has a photo of a burst OEM pipe and it looks like it would be difficult to patch with duct tape.
It's possible that wrapping with duct tape prior to rupture may help it last longer.
