S&B Cold Side Intercooler Pipe (83-1000) – 2011-2016 6.7L Powerstroke

Stop getting stranded by a failed factory intercooler pipe. The S&B Filters 83-1000 Cold Side Intercooler Pipe is the premium direct-replacement upgrade for 2011–2016 Ford Super Duty trucks with the 6.7L Powerstroke. It eliminates the well-known weak point of the OEM plastic/rubber CAC pipe that commonly cracks, bursts, or leaks under boost and heat cycles.

Key Features

• 3.5" polished aluminum CAC pipe — larger diameter than stock for significantly less restriction
• 5-ply Aramid-reinforced silicone hose — far stronger and more heat-resistant than the factory coupler
• Heavy-duty ¾" wide stainless steel spring-loaded T-bolt clamps with bridge for a secure, leak-free seal
• 2-piece design for much easier installation compared to one-piece OEM-style pipes
• Replaces Ford OEM part BC3Z-6F073-D
• CARB EO# D-590-42 (street legal in all 50 states on F-250/F-350/F-450; note: no CARB EO listed specifically for F-550)

Why Upgrade to the S&B Cold Side Pipe?

The factory cold-side intercooler pipe on 2011–2016 6.7 Powerstrokes is a notorious failure point, especially on tuned trucks or those used for towing. When it fails, you lose boost and can be left on the side of the road.

S&B’s aluminum pipe + reinforced silicone solution gives you:

• Improved airflow and reduced restriction
• Quicker turbo spool and better throttle response
• Increased reliability under high boost and repeated heat cycles
• A clean, polished look in the engine bay
• Peace of mind with S&B’s Million Mile limited warranty
