Intake Pipes

Intake Pipes: the tube that carries your air from filter to throttle

An intake pipe is the hard section of ducting that moves air from the filter into the throttle body, or on a turbo car, into the compressor inlet. It replaces restrictive factory ducting, often with a smoother bore and better-mounted couplers. On boosted engines the turbo inlet pipe smooths the path the compressor draws through, and on diesels an intake horn feeds the intake bridge. If you have swapped a filter and want the rest of the tract to match, the intake pipes here are the piece that finishes the job.

What ThreePiece stocks

There are 67 products in this category, priced from $35 to $406 at the time of writing - that is the current range for what is in stock, not a fixed price. Across those parts we count 17 brands. Vibrant is the deepest with 21 items, followed by aFe at 8, and Mishimoto and COBB at 6 each, with Spectre, Torque Solution, Perrin Performance, Injen, Skunk2 Racing, Wehrli, BLOX Racing, DEI, Fleece Performance, GReddy, K&N Engineering and Weapon R filling out the rest.

Concrete examples span the price spread: the Wehrli 06-10 Duramax 3.5in Intake Horn sits near the top, the K&N F-150 3.5L Inlet Pipe and Injen 300ZX pipe-only short ram cover the sport-compact side, and the Wehrli L5P High Flow Intake Horn covers newer Duramax trucks. Turbo cars are well represented by the COBB WRX / Forester XT Cast Turbo Inlet and the Mishimoto WRX/STI Silicone Induction Hose.

How to choose

The first split is your engine type. Turbo inlets and induction hoses feed the compressor and matter most on boosted cars like the Subaru WRX, WRX STI and Forester XT. Diesel intake horns are their own thing, feeding the intake bridge on Chevrolet Duramax trucks. Naturally aspirated cars use a pipe that runs from the filter to the throttle body.

The second split is material and price. Silicone induction hoses like the Mishimoto absorb engine movement and are simple to clamp on; cast aluminum inlets like the COBB are rigid and hold their shape. Prices climb with size and complexity - a diesel intake horn carries more metal than a short sport-compact inlet, which is why the range runs all the way to $406. Buy the piece that matches your existing tract, not just the flashiest finish.

What else you need with it

An intake pipe is one link in the air path. Pair it with a filter from Replacement Air Filters, Drop In Filters, Panel Filters or Air Filter Elements. If you want the whole tract done at once, look at Cold Air Intake Kits. Boosted builds should also check Intercooler Pipes and Intercooler Hoses for the charge side.
