Benefits of upgrading hot and cold side charge pipes?

Hey guys was curious as to what benefits upgrading the cold and hot side charge pipes would be? I know one of them is that the stock ones are trash and it'll ho with that but are there any other benefits like performance ones?

Let me know!
Thank you so much for your help!

No performance increase but they won't explode like the stock ones do

No performance benefit, cold side charge pipe is definitely weak.

However, the hot side aka "boost pipe" is pretty stout and I regret spending the money to replace it.

One thing I do not regret is dealing with Extreme Power House https://x-ph.com/
They were responsive and quick to ship.

Burger Motorsports (Cold Side) Charge Pipe and Intercooler worth every penny. Boost pipe not so much.
