We're excited to introduce the PRL Matte Carbon Fiber Turbocharger Inlet Pipe Kit. This premium upgrade is designed to replace the restrictive factory turbo inlet system for enhanced performance, while also improving aesthetics.

11th Gen Honda Civic PRL Carbon Inlet Pipes Now Available! 1738156522886-ni




By eliminating the stock inlet's limitations, our kit increases airflow by 50%, allowing the turbocharger to breathe more efficiently. This enhancement leads to improved low-end power and faster turbo spool, providing a more responsive and exhilarating drive. The cast aluminum elbow ensures a smooth air transition, while the carbon fiber inlet tube, available in a sleek Matte finish, offers both strength and a customized look. Additionally, the stepped silicone design and machined surfaces at bolt locations guarantee a consistent and secure fit, making this upgrade a comprehensive solution for performance enthusiasts. Our design matches the rest of your engine bay, and makes a great compliment to the PRL Matte Carbon Fiber High-Volume Intake System.

This will be offered as a full kit at $499.99 same pricing as our Titanium option! For those who already have the Ti inlet, we will be offering the pipe only at $249.99! We are super happy with how these turned out, & we hope you guys are too!

I was wondering the same thing. Especially as heat soaks since the heat capacities of the materials are different.

titanium has a higher thermal conductivity and can withstand higher temps than carbon fiber, making it better for heat dissipation. Carbon fiber has a negative coefficient of thermal expansion, it can shrink when heated.
But carbon fiber looks nicer. ? and It's calling my name.

Carbon does manage heat a bit better than Ti, but it is negligible. For intake temps, post turbo is most important. A good intercooler is key!

Thank you for your response. Intercooler is def the key. Any plans to have these available for the Si?

Probably a dumb question, but is the rest of the kit required? I'll be upgrading my turbo next year, but possibly to a different size turbo, so I'm not sure I'd even be using the inlet at that time.

It is not possible to use just the tube unless you already have the rest of the kit. The tube only option is for owners of the titanium inlet kit that just want to switch up the tube.
