The OEM cold-side plastic assemblies and standard molded rubber boots suffer from oil-vapor degradation over time, causing structural softening, micro-tears, and sudden blow-offs. These failures manifest as boost pressure drops, excessive exhaust soot, whistling under throttle, and sudden limp-mode triggers when working under load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to eliminate charge air loss, this direct bolt-on upgrade features 3-inch hot-side and cold-side polished aluminum piping. Each tube is precision mandrel-bent to maintain consistent internal cross-sectional area, reducing turbulence and pressure drop between the turbo outlet and the intake manifold. To withstand high thermal loads and boost spikes, heavy-duty multi-ply reinforced boots replace the factory rubber couplers, secured by heavy-gauge stainless steel T-bolt clamps that deliver uniform 360-degree radial sealing force.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x 3-inch Hot-side polished aluminum intercooler pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1x 3-inch Cold-side polished aluminum intercooler pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty reinforced intercooler boots and couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel T-bolt clamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; min-width: 300px;\"\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2011-2016 Chevrolet Silverado\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuramax LML\u003c\/strong\u003e \/ \u003cstrong\u003eGMT900 \/ K2XX\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e397 hp \/ 765 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDAT000000017\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2011-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD 6.6L Duramax LML diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2011-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD 6.6L Duramax LML diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2011-2016 GMC Sierra 2500 HD 6.6L Duramax LML diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2011-2016 GMC Sierra 3500 HD 6.6L Duramax LML diesel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the K2XX Silverado?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2011-2016 Chevrolet Silverado equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003eDuramax LML\u003c\/strong\u003e engine; it does not fit gas V8 models or earlier LBZ\/LMM Duramax variants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat preparation is required before installing the new boots?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDegrease all oil mist residue thoroughly from the turbo outlet and intercooler mating necks prior to seating the boots and torquing the T-bolt clamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Chevrolet Heavy-Duty Caliber\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for severe-duty hauling and high-payload operations, this rigid charge pipe setup ensures your diesel powertrain retains boost integrity under severe towing conditions without risk of split boots or stranded payloads.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67896397594872,"sku":"DS-EUMTD494V","price":134.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/intercooler-pipe-boot-kit-for-chevrolet-silverado-2500-hd-3500-hd-2011-2016-6-6l-duramax-lml-1.jpg?v=1793299390","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/intercooler-pipe-boot-kit-for-chevrolet-silverado-2500-hd-3500-hd-2011-2016-6-6l-duramax-lml","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
