Hi folks,

I discovered that the rubber end piece on the OEM intercooler pipe has been crushed or collapsed. I would like to replace it with aftermarket one instead of buying the whole combo y-pipe from BMW.

Which vendor sells aftermarket intercooler silicone boots that connect to OEM-style clip ends on the intercooler?

What other options are out there?

bumping for info too. My passenger side intercooler plumbing looks like it is collapsed, almost accordion-like. Is this normal?

Considering that replacing the stock outlet (Turbo --> FMIC) is going to get you to about 30% of the way towards the labor involved in upgrading your FMIC, why not replace it now ?

I've been running HPF intercooler since 2009, thank you very much. It has OEM couplings so it attaches seamlessly to the rest of the plumbing.

Now the rubber boot connectors are crumbling and I need to replace them.

Is it for the passenger side?

Yep that is the one I used when I needed to replace mine. Just keep in mind you'll need to source a clamp for the connector as you'll be cutting of your stock hose clamp. To make this a little more difficult, the band size for most T-Clamps is ~.75" which will not properly seat for this part. I ended up using one of these to get everything to work.

I have also used silicone intake.com for custom piping and connectors. The right price and great quality products.
