Mishimoto - misMMICP-RS-16HWBK - 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS Hot-Side Intercooler Pipe, Black

To complete our intercooler component lineup for the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS, we at Mishimoto would like to introduce our Hot-Side Intercooler Pipe. This pipe has a truly innovative design that helps cool more than just air intake temperatures. Not only does it increase internal volume by 40-percent over stock with 2.5 inch inlet and outlet diameters, and maintain an average pressure drop of 45-percent, the cast mid-section retains the use of the factory ducting that directs airflow to the front PTU. A standard cylindrical pipe restricts airflow, and this doesn?t help the known problem of overheating drivetrains when the RS is being pushed to its limits. Our pipe is shaped to cleanly direct air right to the front PTU using that front duct, so airflow isn?t lost like with a traditional pipe design. In addition, this pipe comes with 5-ply, wire-reinforced silicone to attach to the turbo and intercooler, providing superior heat resistance and flexibility to accommodate for engine movement. The pipe can also fit without removing the lower cross bar. The kit comes with all necessary hardware, is a direct fit with no modifications necessary, and is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty. Intercooler pipe set designed to improve airflow between turbo and intercooler for enhanced performance. Durable piping reduces pressure loss, improves throttle response, and ensures a precise fit for reliable installation.

• Silicone boots absorb the stresses of excessive engine movement
• 45-percent less pressure drop than stock hot-side pipe
• Designed to not block cooling to the PTU

The Mishimoto misMMICP-RS-16HWBK Hot-Side Intercooler Pipe is designed for the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS to improve airflow between the turbocharger and intercooler. Its cast mid-section increases internal volume by 40 percent over the stock hot-side pipe and maintains an average pressure drop that is 45 percent lower than stock. The design also retains the factory ducting that directs airflow toward the front power transfer unit (PTU).

Built to support reliable performance, the pipe uses 2.5-inch inlet and outlet diameters along with 5-ply, wire-reinforced silicone connections. The silicone boots provide heat resistance, flexibility and support for engine movement. The pipe can be installed without removing the lower cross bar and is designed as a direct-fit replacement without modifications.
