Product Description

The aFe **46-20269-R BladeRunner Cold-Side Intercooler Tube** is a high-flow performance upgrade designed for **2016-2022 Chevrolet Colorado** and **GMC Canyon** trucks equipped with the **2.8L Duramax LWN diesel engine**. This intercooler tube replaces the restrictive stock cold-side charge pipe with a **mandrel-bent 3" aluminum tube** that promotes smoother airflow and reduces turbulence and pressure loss. The result is enhanced turbo efficiency, improved throttle response, and potential gains in horsepower and torque as intake air moves more freely through the system.

Finished in a durable **wrinkle-red powder coat** for heat resistance and corrosion protection, this BladeRunner tube includes **heavy-duty silicone couplings**, **stainless-steel clamps**, and a **billet aluminum quick-connect adapter** for a secure, direct-fit installation using factory mounting locations - no modifications required. The integrated **1/8" NPT port** provides flexibility for boost sensors or auxiliary systems such as water/methanol injection, making this an ideal upgrade for diesel enthusiasts looking to improve airflow performance and engine response. Note: this part is **not CARB exempt** and may be prohibited for sale or use in California and other CARB states.
