Description
The Mishimoto MMICP-WRX-15P is a one-piece, cast-aluminum charge pipe engineered specifically for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX, built to replace the factory’s plastic charge pipe with a durable forced induction upgrade that smooths the transition from the turbocharger compressor outlet to the intercooler end tank. As a purpose-built Forced Induction component from Mishimoto, this charge pipe is designed to install without cutting, splicing, or otherwise modifying any other part in the engine bay.
For drivers focused on strengthening their induction system, this Mishimoto charge pipe uses a larger-diameter aluminum pipe than the smaller, weaker factory plastic piece, helping maximize airflow through the forced induction system to support spool-up and long-term reliability. Because it is mandrel-bent from aluminum rather than molded plastic, it is built to handle the demands of a performance induction setup while also improving the look of the engine bay. Every kit ships with a charge pipe to intercooler hose and silicone bypass valve hoses along with the T-bolt and worm gear clamps needed to complete the job, so there is no need to hunt down extra hardware for this forced induction system upgrade, and the whole installation can typically be completed in under an hour.
Vehicle Applications
This charge pipe is a direct fit for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX across its full trim lineup: the WRX Base, Limited, and Premium trims covering 2015-2021, the Sport and Sport-tech trims covering 2017-2021, the 6 Man and CVT trims covering 2018-2021, the Sport-tech RS for 2019-2020, the Raui Edition for 2019, and the EyeSight trim for 2021. It is also compatible with the Subaru Forester 2.0XT Premium and Touring trims from 2014-2018, as well as the Forester 2.0XT Limited for 2014 and again from 2016-2018. Applications share the FA20DIT engine code and VA chassis code, and the pipe works with either the stock top-mount intercooler or a Mishimoto top-mount intercooler.
