What is the main benefit of this larger charge pipe?

The larger inlet and outlet remove a bottleneck in the factory charge air system. This allows for better airflow from the turbo, which can improve performance.

Do I need to cut or trim anything to install this pipe?

No, this is a complete bolt-on kit. It is designed to fit just like the stock charge pipe, so no cutting or trimming is required.

Is this charge pipe CARB approved for California emissions?

No, this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It also contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
