So I measured some things for AFE and they just emailed me back that they are machining up a set that will work and they may be able to get them in the mail today. I requested overnight. We shall see.

Are sent a new set and they are still wrong. More emails. More time and no truck. They also dont answer their phone calls. 2 emails sent today, 3 calls, no emails back and no returned calls. These people just dont care. It is very sad.

They also sent the replacement parts not overnight which further shows that they couldn't care less about me getting my truck back on the road.

Wow. This is the first I’ve heard of anything bad from those guys. I have had great experiences with Jared and crew over the years. The “Mullet wearing walking scarecrow” is Jared, the owner. He and his marketing team are constantly doing things to gain attention while making people laugh. I’m sorry that you’ve had a bad experience, but that is not the norm.

In other news, these guys at AFE are machining me another set of adapters for my truck. They do nothing fast. NOTHING. So I guess, I may get the adapters next week some time and well We will see.

Well I got my third set of rings and i just modified them to make them fit. AFE was not very helpful and I will never buy anything from them again.

I am looking at installing the AFE pipes on my Whipple intercooler. Any feedback as to whether AFE has addressed the fit issues? Thanks.
The problem with the aFe connecting to the Whipple is rather simple. Apparently they never tried the combination. It can be fixed on the bench.

I’ll chime in. Their charge pipes won’t fit my CPE intercooler despite them confirming it would. I believe the issue is the lip on their intercooler adapter isn’t deep enough to seat properly. I reached out to them to see what they say and reinstalled my stock pipes in the meantime.
I think I can work around it if they don’t have a solution; but I’ll have to do some thinking and make some custom sized coupling hoses.

Explain please. Did you dremel the adapter inner lip to deepen it? It feels like it’s almost there, it just needs an extra millimeter or three to get the retaining clips to click in.
For the aFe connecting to the Whipple. The clips would not engage as the collar would not go far enough. I beveled the front inner edge to match curved milled edge where the tube met the body of the IC.
sorry this is the only photo I have, it was a long day fighting it before I figured out the issue. It would be best to test and fix on a workbench.

Gotcha! That makes more sense than what I was picturing in my head. I’ll give that a try and then go with new 90 degree couplings with longer legs if dremeling doesn’t pan out. Thanks!
Oh another issue, that doesn’t what manufacturer you pick. The two 90 degree elbows that go to the IC. Trim them for clearance, especially the passenger side, you need at least 1/2” or better from the alternator. The engine flexes in the chassis.
