Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Piping Kit (MMICP-FOST-13KWBK) replaces the factory hot- and cold-side intercooler piping on the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST’s 2.0L EcoBoost engine with a mandrel-bent aluminum and multi-layer silicone system engineered to move charged air more efficiently. By deleting the factory turbo muffler and straightening the path from turbo to intercooler, this kit is built specifically to unlock the flow potential trapped in the FoST’s stock piping.
As part of Mishimoto’s forced induction lineup, this piping kit targets the restrictive bends and degradation-prone rubber connections that hamper the factory induction system. The hot-side pipe uses high-grade aluminum bored out to 2.5 inches, delivering a 14-percent increase in volume and a 26-percent boost in flow over the factory hot-side piping, while the cold-side pipe swaps rubber for five layers of heat-resistant silicone reinforced with steel wire, adding a 10-percent increase in volume over the stock cold-side hose. Together, the hot- and cold-side upgrades combine for a 21-percent increase in flow through the piping system, helping the Focus ST’s forced induction setup breathe with less restriction. Sturdy silicone couplers replace the factory rubber connectors for a tighter, more durable seal between piping and intercooler, and when paired with the Mishimoto Performance intake and intercooler, drivers can see an additional 8 hp and 10 ft-lb of torque on top of the gains from those components, on a stock tune.
Vehicle Applications
This piping kit is a direct fit for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST, engineered to bolt in place of the factory hot- and cold-side intercooler piping on this specific chassis and model-year range.
