Just got the prl charge pipe kit for the accord-
looks like it will install on the rdx-
i need this badly as my hose coming off the turbo is about to explode!

Tempted to do this. Let us know how it feels, I assume the throttle response and turbo spool are going to be a notch better.

Type X

take pics for the install
i have the GRP Intercooler and it uses all the stock piping etc

making some power upgrade lists lol

I ended up using the HPS version with custom mandrel bent lower cold side tube, felt like the PRL had way too much silicone hose that could fail overtime.

As far as performance difference it was noticeable, although I'm not sure if its anywhere near what either company claims.

I wonder how well the PRL tube leading from the turbo to the intercooler will line up, the shape of the two is slightly different and looks as if you may need to bend the tube more to make it line up.

Interested to see how that fits for you as it's the only tube I haven't really found a perfect fit.

Gonna tackle this project soon and report back-
i too have the hps tube and although it seems better than stock I do not like the fact that it’s aluminum and not silicone-
the heat transfer and retention seems a bit too much-

Any updates on the install? Did you figure out if all of the pipes fit? If so, how was the install and fitment? Based on comments on the HPS charge pipe set for the Accord, it appears only the upper cold side pipe fits the RDX. Thanks!

So far just the cold side works-
the one hose off of the turbo doesn’t work-
has to be a different shape

Thanks Rob, so just to confirm with the PRL charge pipe kit does the entire cold side (intercooler to throttle body) fit the RDX or just the upper cold side? It seems to be confirmed from multiple sources that the hot side from the turbo to the intercooler doesn't fit the RDX for either HPS or PRL. Thanks again for the help!
Since you have owned both the HPS and PRL charge pipes, did you have any feedback on one design versus the other?

think I like the prl better beachside there’s less metal piping(heat soak)
but other than that no noticeable difference in the two-
My real reason I need these is because the factory hose material is swelling up and gonna pop soon

Only the charge pipe will fit any other pieces will not work unless it is custom fabricated.

So the entire Accord PRL charge piping on the cold fits on the RDX, did you ever figure out a different type of piping for the turbo hot side?

subzero_cv2

Only the charge pipe will work the cold side piping wont the hot side i been doing research and it looks like the hot side parts from the accord may be interchangeable

Stinks no aftermarket solutions have become available for the hot side that are RDX specific. I was hoping PRL or 27Won would make something but we take a back seat to the CTR and Accord. Still no Flex fuel option with Ktuner either.
