Pre-09 N54 Chargepipe on a 2009 Car

va335 · 08-22-2018, 05:21 PM

So I recently bought an ER chargepipe for my 2009 N54 and didn't realize that the 09s have a longer chargepipe until I was in the middle of my install. Could I just buy an upgraded fmic to cp pipe to make up the distance? Or would I have to get rid of the chargepipe (bought used so no returns)?

My 07 needs a long charge pipe too. Whoever sold you that charge pipe didnt give you the lower charge pipe or coupler.

Yeah I compared it with another n54 that had an aftermarket CP. It looks like I'm just missing the coupler.
