Description
The Mishimoto Silicone Induction Hose (MMHOSE-SUB-IHBK) replaces the factory rubber intake tract on turbocharged Subaru WRX and STI models with a wire-reinforced silicone hose built from high-grade silicone and heat-resistant embedded fibers. Rated to withstand a maximum temperature of 330°F, it’s engineered with a larger internal diameter than the factory piece to increase flow through your air intake system while retaining OEM-style fitment.
For anyone comparing a cold air intake upgrade, an air intake filter swap, or simply a longer-lasting air intake system, this silicone induction hose is a practical first step: it fits into the existing intake path, its wire reinforcement helps the hose resist collapsing under pressure, and the heat-resistant silicone construction efficiently reduces heat compared to a stock rubber hose. It’s offered in black, blue, or red to match your engine bay and is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
