Description
The Mishimoto MMDCC-40SBK is a DuraCore™ Silicone Straight Intercooler Boot finished in black, built as the strongest link in a custom intercooler piping kit. This particular coupler uses a straight coupler style with an End 1 outside diameter of 4.2 inches and a listed outer diameter of 4.43 inches, giving fabricators a dependable, high-boost-rated connection point for their charge piping.
As part of Mishimoto’s air intake system and intercooler lineup, this silicone boot is manufactured from five layers of silicone reinforced with heat-resistant embedded fibers, with an innermost DuraCore™ synthetic layer engineered to resist heat, pressure, fuel, and oil far beyond standard silicone. That extra layer of protection is designed to extend boot life by preventing leaks and blowouts under high-boost conditions, while reinforcing rings — where applicable — add structural integrity to keep connections secure under pressure. Whether you’re piecing together a full custom charge-piping system or replacing a single failure-prone coupler, this DuraCore™ boot is engineered to be a component you don’t have to think twice about.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto DuraCore™ boot is a universal fabrication component rather than a vehicle-specific bolt-on part — the source specifications do not tie it to a particular make, model, or model year. It’s intended for custom intercooler piping builds where you’re routing charge pipes through tight engine bays or connecting mismatched tube diameters, and it’s sized to integrate into a wider Mishimoto DuraCore™ lineup that spans straight, straight hump, transition, 45-degree, and 90-degree configurations from 3 inches to 4 inches, so fabricators can complete a piping kit to match whatever platform they’re building for.
