I finally got around to installing mine. I was so happy after a long install, but then I realized I forgot to add the gasket.....how essential is it? I’d hate to have to take everything apart again.

Hello friends! I got my turbo inlet pipe today and am super excited to install it. Question for those of you that received yours: are these divots in the elbow piece normal? If so, I wonder what purpose they serve.

Related question: if I wanted to burn some colors into the titanium, is there a way to control what colors I get?

You’ll see it when you install it. That space is needed to clear the actuator

@PRL Motorsports when is the next ETA for shipments?
Thanks for inquiring! Our ETA is February for our inlet piping, no exact date just yet but we will be letting everyone know soon on that as well.

Are there any plans to produce a burnt, blue version later down the road? I always like the look of titanium when it's finished like that:drool:

Good afternoon guys. Just wanted to give you all a heads up. I'm currently installing this on a bone stock 2019 ctr and the instructions on the FB page say that the bolts that hold on to the elbow are 14mm. The bolts that are on the 2019 are definitely 12mm. There might have been a change from the 2017 model to the 2019 model. I also unclasped the small black rubber hose on the plastic wiring harness to give more slack. This made getting to the bottom bolt much easier to get too.

I have a 2017 and it was definitely a 12 on mine too.

Anyone know if this inlet pipe works with other non stock/prl intakes? I currently have a Mishimoto intake and curious if it will fit. Really don't feel like blowing $400 on another intake just to get this pipe to work. I know on their blog is says it works with aftermarket factory location intakes, but that helps none considering all aftermarket intakes use the stock location lol.

We have had a customer confirm fitment with the Gruppe M intake system with modification of the inlet hose, but we can pretty much guarantee that this will not fit any other intake systems. Our kits have two hose options; stock air box and HVI, both of different angle and length. Unless the MAF Housing is similar diameter and location to either our HVI or the stock air box, the inlet pipe will not fit.
