Part #: 46-20578-B

Overview

The aFe Power BladeRunner 3 IN Aluminum Hot Charge Pipe is a performance drivetrain component designed specifically for the 2021-2022 Ford Bronco with the 2.3L turbocharged engine. This upgrade replaces the factory charge pipe with a mandrel-bent aluminum pipe that promotes smoother airflow by reducing turbulence and pressure loss. It is intended for enthusiasts seeking to enhance their vehicle’s throttle response and overall turbo efficiency while maintaining durability and a clean, factory-style appearance.

Constructed to support improved airflow, this charge pipe helps optimize turbocharger performance, potentially contributing to increased horsepower and torque. The product is ideal for drivers who want a reliable, high-quality replacement that balances performance gains with long-term durability and ease of installation.

Key Features

This hot charge pipe kit offers several key benefits:

• Mandrel-bent aluminum construction for smooth transitions and reduced airflow turbulence
• Finished in wrinkle black powder coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and a sleek look
• Includes heavy-duty, 5-ply polyester reinforced silicone couplings for secure, flexible connections
• Equipped with stainless-steel, spring-loaded T-bolt clamps to ensure a tight, leak-free seal
• Factory-style billet aluminum quick-connect adapter with O-ring for superior strength and leak prevention

Construction & Design

The charge pipe is crafted from durable aluminum, mandrel-bent to maintain consistent diameter and smooth airflow paths. The wrinkle black powder coat finish not only adds a refined aesthetic but also protects the pipe from corrosion and wear. The inclusion of reinforced silicone couplings and stainless-steel clamps ensures a robust and reliable connection to the turbo system, minimizing the risk of leaks or failures under boost pressure.

Installation & Fitment

This charge pipe is designed as a direct replacement for the factory component on the specified Ford Bronco models. Installation is straightforward with included hardware, and the quick-connect adapter simplifies the process while maintaining a secure fit. Fitment should be verified against vehicle specifications and part number to ensure compatibility.
