Evolution Racewerks Lower-Intercooler (LIC) Charge Pipe — N55 (X5 / X6)
Sale price $295.00
Regular price
Evolution Racewerks Lower-Intercooler (LIC) charge pipe for the N55 X5/X6. "LIC" is the lower, cold-side run after the intercooler. The factory part is plastic and fails under boost; this is its mandrel-bent aluminum replacement.
What it is
Mandrel-bent 6061 aluminum at 2.5", CNC-machined factory-style O-ring lock flange, beaded ends, T-bolt clamps, and silicone hose included. Bolt-on with factory routing.
Finishes
Brush, Polish, or Type III hard-anodized black — choose above.
LIC vs the main charge pipe
This LIC piece covers the lower cold-side run only. For the full hard-piped path, pair it with the Evolution Racewerks N55 charge pipe kit (the main turbo-to-throttle-body run).
Fitment
BMW N55 — X5 35i and X6 35i (F15/F16). Confirm your chassis in the selector.

WHY WE SHIP EVOLUTION RACEWERKS
Cooling is the first thing to run out on a boosted BMW, and Evolution Racewerks builds the charge coolers and intercoolers that buy back the headroom. The bar-and-plate cores carry more thermal mass than the factory units, which is what keeps intake temps from climbing into timing-pull territory on a back-to-back pull. Their charge pipes also delete the factory plastic coupler that is a known weak point under boost. When a Stage 1 or Stage 2 car is heat-soaking on the second hard pull, a competition cooler from Evolution Racewerks is usually the fix that holds the tune's numbers session after session.
