Replacing stock rubber hose with aluminium pipes

Hi everyone,

My current M271 engine has a stock intercooler connected to the rubber hose pipes at both ends. Will it be help in terms of performance to replace these rubber hose pipes with aluminium pipes ?

No. Get a better intercooler. The stock one is overtaxed by the high boost on this engine.
