The Bolt-On Intercooler Pipe Upgrade That Wakes Up Your Cobalt SS Turbo
The Injen SES7027ICP replaces the restrictive factory plastic intercooler piping on the 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt SS turbocharged 2.0L LNF with mandrel-bent T6061 aluminum tubes that flow more air, resist heat soak, and give the engine bay a polished look. Injen engineered the SES7027ICP to bolt on using factory mounting points with no cutting, welding, or retuning required. Dyno testing shows gains of up to 16.1 horsepower and 18.7 lb-ft of torque over stock piping on the Cobalt SS platform.
Key Features
- T6061 Aluminum Construction: Mandrel-bent 2.75-inch diameter aluminum tubes minimize turbulence and maintain consistent bore diameter from the intercooler, lowering intake air temps by up to 20 degrees compared to OEM plastic pipes
- Mirror-Polished Finish: Hand-polished exterior resists corrosion and oxidation while giving the Cobalt SS engine bay a clean, finished appearance
- 4-Ply Reinforced Silicone Couplers: High-temp silicone sleeves rated for positive-pressure boost applications seal tightly against the SES7027ICP tubes for zero boost leak potential
- T-Bolt Clamps Included: Stainless steel T-bolt clamps provide uniform clamping force around the full circumference of each coupler, far superior to OEM worm-gear clamps
- Direct OEM Replacement: Engineered to match OEM routing, bracket locations, and sensor ports on the 2008-2010 Cobalt SS LNF so the SES7027ICP drops in without modifications
- IP67 Equivalent Sealing: Fully potted connections resist moisture and engine bay contaminants for long-term reliability under boost
- Dyno-Proven Gains: Up to +16.1 HP and +18.7 lb-ft of torque documented on the 2008-2010 Cobalt SS 2.0L turbo platform

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SES7027ICP?
The Injen SES7027ICP is a polished T6061 aluminum intercooler piping kit designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory plastic intercooler pipes on the 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt SS turbocharged 2.0L LNF engine. It delivers up to 16.1 additional horsepower and 18.7 lb-ft of torque over stock.
What years and trims does the SES7027ICP fit?
The SES7027ICP fits the 2008, 2009, and 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt SS equipped with the turbocharged 2.0L LNF four-cylinder engine. It does not fit the supercharged Cobalt SS or naturally aspirated models.
Do I need to retune my Cobalt SS after installing SES7027ICP?
No retune is required for the SES7027ICP. The kit is a direct bolt-on replacement that does not alter boost levels or fuel trims. Your ECU will adapt naturally. A tune is optional if you want to maximize the gains from the improved piping.
Will SES7027ICP work with a stock intercooler and stock turbo?
Yes. The SES7027ICP is designed to work with the factory intercooler and turbocharger on the Cobalt SS LNF platform. It replaces only the charge pipes between the intercooler and turbo, retaining all OEM components.
What is the pipe diameter on the SES7027ICP?
The SES7027ICP uses 2.75-inch diameter mandrel-bent aluminum tubing throughout. This is slightly larger than the OEM plastic pipes, which improves airflow and reduces pressure drop between the turbo and intercooler.
Are boost leaks a concern with the SES7027ICP couplers?
No. The SES7027ICP includes 4-ply reinforced silicone couplers secured with stainless T-bolt clamps. This combination provides a much tighter seal than the OEM worm-gear clamped plastic pipes and is rated for sustained boost pressure well above stock Cobalt SS levels.
How long does it take to install SES7027ICP?
Most Cobalt SS owners complete the SES7027ICP installation in 30 to 60 minutes using basic hand tools. No drilling, cutting, or welding is required. The kit uses factory mounting locations and includes all necessary hardware.
Is there a warranty on the Injen SES7027ICP?
Yes. Injen covers the SES7027ICP with a limited lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the original date of purchase. Warranty claims are handled directly through Injen Technology.
Does the SES7027ICP maintain compatibility with OEM sensors?
Yes. The SES7027ICP retains all factory sensor ports including the MAP sensor bung and any boost pressure taps, ensuring full compatibility with stock and aftermarket engine management systems on the 2008-2010 Cobalt SS.
Installation Instructions
- Allow engine to cool completely before beginning. Disconnect the negative battery terminal
- Locate and remove the factory plastic intercooler pipes by loosening all OEM clamps and detaching sensor plugs or vacuum lines attached to the stock piping
- Note the routing of the OEM pipes and the location of sensor bungs for reference during reinstallation
- Dry-fit all SES7027ICP aluminum pipes to confirm positioning and clearance before final assembly
- Slide silicone couplers onto the pipe ends and position T-bolt clamps over the couplers before seating pipes onto the intercooler and throttle body outlets
- Seat each pipe fully into its respective coupler and confirm all sensor ports align with OEM locations
- Torque all T-bolt clamps evenly to 60-80 in-lbs. Do not over-tighten
- Reconnect all sensors, vacuum lines, and battery terminal
- Start the engine and let it idle for five minutes. Check all connections for boost leaks by feeling for air escaping from each coupler junction
- Perform a test drive and re-check all clamp torque after the first heat cycle
