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.

Thanks , that's what I thought. Something I might get round to in a while.
