These two items were purchased and installed on my car together in July of 2016. At the time, I had plans for eventually adding a hybrid turbo to my car, so both the intercooler and hot-side charge pipe made sense. I recently went back to school, and, after re-examining priorities, decided to dial back my plans for my Fiesta, dropping the hybrid turbo from my list.
As I understood it at time of purchase, among intercoolers in the States, in terms of core size, CP-E's was second only to the race intercooler (which required a different crash beam in the front) produced by a company which is no longer around. The CP-E unit keeps charge temps in check very well, but you can definitely feel the increase in volume; that is, with the stock turbo, boost became laggier on my setup. This may have something to do with living at 5000 feet, or with driving mountain roads above 8000 feet, but I can't be completely certain. With that in mind, I'd recommend this to anyone who intends to use this with an uprated turbo, plans to use an aggressive tune, or who feels strongly that he or she understands what the larger core entails and wants it anyway.
Color directions for both are included, but you'll have to source clamps yourself. The price is $290, and that includes the intercooler, all of its original hardware (minus clamps), and the hot-side charge pipe and its couplers (no clamps for the pipe, either). Intercooler and pipe both show some cosmetic wear from being on the car, but both are functionally unaffected. The charge pipe came off about a year ago pending purchase of an upgraded turbo, so it was on for less than a year, and its couplers are in great shape.
I'm located in the Orem/Provo area and not looking to ship any of this at this point in time, so please don't ask. (Sorry!) If you're interested, please send me a PM. I'd prefer to meet, and, after inspection of both items, just do a cash exchange if the buyer is still intent on purchase. If you don't want to do a cash deal, I'm open to PayPal (money sent to a friend), and I'll bring the items to you as soon as payment clears. I would prefer inspection before sale followed by cash, though. This seems more conservative to me, for both buyer and seller.
