Masata Alloy Compressor Outlet to Intercooler Hardpipe for BMW 5 Series N20 F10 F11 520i 528i 528ix 2009 to 2016 - Part No. MST0049

Replace the fragile factory plastic ducting on your BMW 5 Series petrol turbo with this Masata alloy charge air hardpipe. Engineered for the N20 powerplant, MST0049 is a direct swap for the compressor-outlet to intercooler pipework on F10 and F11 chassis, giving stronger reliability under boost, crisper pedal response and confidence against boost leaks on both standard and tuned vehicles.

If you are chasing dependable performance or preventing the well-known issue of split plastic tubing, this aluminium upgrade delivers durable metal pipework with CNC machined connections for a precise factory-style fit. No coding, no cutting, no extra parts needed. Just bolt on and drive.

Why this Masata alloy hardpipe is a smart upgrade

• Direct-fit design with CNC machined ends for OE-style connections and seals
• Ideal preventative maintenance for higher mileage cars and remapped N20 builds
• Complete kit supplied with the parts required for installation
• Backed by Masata Lifetime Warranty for long-term peace of mind
