Are charge pipes from 07-08 stronger than 09+
I'm helping out a newbie on reddit, and he's saying that he heard the charge pipes were stronger in 07 and 08. I don't particularly believe him, but I thought I'd ask. Anyone know if there's any truth to that?

I have never heard of anyone breaking a (07/08). I am FBO/meth/hybrid turbos 20+ psi on the xi and still on stock charge pipe (5 years). I would argue that the shorter pipe would put less torque on the TB flange but both long and short pipes have a bolt that supports them so I dunno.

I've heard that the 07-08 are a little more stout but I never had problems with either one. 166k on my 07 tuned since brand new, and I had 120k on my 09 boosting 18.5psi on stock charge pipe with zero issues.
