Upgrade the charge-air system in your turbocharged Ford Focus ST with the aFe BladeRunner 46-20188-B 2.5-inch Aluminum Hot Charge Pipe. Designed as a direct replacement for the factory hot-side intercooler tube, this pipe uses mandrel-bent aluminum construction to promote smooth, consistent airflow from the turbocharger to the OEM intercooler. Its low-turbulence design can help support improved throttle response, horsepower, torque, and lower exhaust gas temperatures when paired with appropriate supporting modifications.

The pipe is finished in wrinkle-black powder coating for added resistance to heat and corrosion while providing a clean, performance-oriented appearance. Factory mounting locations help secure the tube and simplify installation, while heavy-duty five-ply couplings provide dependable connections under elevated boost pressure. All connections are welded rather than brazed, and the assembly is pressure tested for reliability. A welded, laser-cut aFe Power logo plate adds a distinctive finishing detail without affecting fit or function.

The aFe BladeRunner hot charge pipe is engineered to work with the original equipment intercooler and is designed not to trigger a check engine light when installed correctly. This is a new-construction replacement component, not a repaired or refurbished unit, and it does not defeat any intended emission-control device or system. Fitment includes select 2013-2017 Ford Focus models, including the Focus ST equipped with the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. This product is not CARB approved and may not be legal for use on pollution-controlled vehicles in all locations. Professional installation is recommended. aFe provides a limited parts-only warranty.
