Description
The Mishimoto MMICP-WRX-15WBK is a wrinkle black finish charge pipe kit built specifically for the 2015+ Subaru WRX and its FA20DIT engine. Constructed as a one-piece, mandrel-bent aluminum pipe with a cast aluminum outlet, it replaces the factory plastic charge pipe that carries pressurized air from the turbocharger compressor outlet to the intercooler end tank, and it bolts in without any modification to surrounding engine bay components.
This forced induction charge pipe is designed to improve spool-up response, support power potential, and clean up engine bay aesthetics compared to the smaller, weaker factory plastic charge-pipe. Because the Mishimoto pipe uses a larger diameter than the stock unit, it is engineered to help maximize airflow through the induction system, giving Subaru WRX owners a more durable link between the compressor outlet and the top-mount intercooler. The kit is compatible with either the stock top-mount intercooler or a Mishimoto top-mount intercooler, and installation is straightforward, typically completed in under an hour since the assembly includes a new charge pipe to intercooler hose plus bypass valve hoses so there’s no need to source additional parts.
Vehicle Applications
This charge pipe kit is a direct fit for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX lineup, covering Base, Limited, and Premium trims across the full 2015-2021 range, along with Sport and Sport-tech trims from 2017-2021 and the Sport-tech RS from 2019-2020. It also fits WRX models built with a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission from 2018-2021, the WRX EyeSight trim for 2021, and the WRX Raui Edition for 2019. Coverage extends to the Subaru Forester 2.0XT as well, fitting the Premium and Touring trims from 2014-2018 and the Limited trim in 2014 and 2016-2018. These applications share the FA20DIT engine code, with the WRX built on the VA chassis.
