Do aftermarket charge pipes flow better?
As per title , do they? Does it do anything for performance ?
Or is the only benefit to it the strength and ability to handle more boost pressure ? |

90% of the reason is for added strength. The stock CP is known to explode under raised boost pressure.
Other reasons to get an aftermarket CP is to be able to use a BOV (Tial, HKS, Synapse, etc) and they often come with welded bungs for methanol injection.
