Description
The Mishimoto MMINT-DMAX-02KBK is a complete intercooler kit engineered specifically for the 6.6L Duramax, pairing a bar-and-plate core with cast aluminum end tanks, mandrel-bent aluminum piping, and Mishimoto’s DuraCore silicone boots. Finished in black, this kit replaces the factory intercooler with a unit that offers greater core volume, giving your Duramax the airflow and cooling capacity it needs to keep air-charge temperatures in check.
As a forced induction system upgrade, this intercooler kit is built to move more air and cool it more effectively than the stock setup. The mandrel-bent aluminum piping eliminates restrictive bends found in factory piping, creating a smooth, unimpeded path for the induction system to deliver cooler, denser air to the engine. Mishimoto’s DuraCore technology reinforces the innermost layer of every silicone boot in the kit, offering superior resistance to heat, pressure, fuel, and oil compared to standard silicone — helping prevent leaks and blowouts. Combined with constant-tension T-bolt clamps for a secure hold, this performance induction upgrade is designed to reduce turbo stress and extend turbo life while supporting your truck at any power level.
