CT4 Blackwing charge pipes

[TERRAVAST4]

I was wondering if anyone here is running aftermarket charge pipes on their CT4 Blackwing. The ZZP brand in particular. Thank you.

Well. I bit the bullet ZZ Performance charge pipes and Turbosmart Kompact bypass valves. Keep you posted

Other than increased turbo noise and better materials, what are the other benefits you're expecting? Not finding much info on these.

If you could do a sound clip that would be cool. I’m interested to find out find out how much extra turbo noise you get.

There will be a slight gain in air flow but it’s really about the turbo noise. These cars lack in the sound area. The catless downpipes bring out the turbo noise a bit but these charge pipes eliminate the resonators on the stock charge pipes and these bypass valves will vent 50% of the boost to the atmosphere. For me it’s all about the combo of the cams, catless downpipes, stock muffler delete and these bypass valves charge pipes and bypass valves. I’ll try to post noise when I get around to the install.
