Description
The Mishimoto MMICP-FOST-13CBK is a performance cold-side intercooler pipe purpose-built for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST, replacing the factory rubber section that Mishimoto notes is prone to degradation and movement in the engine bay. In its place, Mishimoto uses 5 layers of durable silicone reinforced with steel wire, giving the pipe the rigidity to hold its shape and stay put even under serious boost pressures. Its distinctive elliptical cross-section is engineered specifically to clear an upgrade to the Mishimoto performance radiator, a detail that sets this pipe apart from a standard round-tube replacement.
Beyond durability, this forced induction component is built to improve how efficiently charged air moves from the intercooler to the engine. The silicone piping carries a 2.5-inch inner diameter, a 10-percent increase in volume over the stock piping, which Mishimoto states results in a 40-percent increase in flow through the induction system. For Focus ST owners looking to get more out of their forced induction setup without swapping the factory clamps for something unreliable, the kit also includes two high-torque worm gear clamps to keep every connection secure.
Vehicle Applications
This cold-side intercooler pipe is a direct fit for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST. Mishimoto engineered the elliptical bend and 2.5-inch diameter specifically around this platform’s engine bay, and the pipe’s shape is designed to accommodate a companion upgrade to the Mishimoto performance radiator on these model-year Focus ST vehicles.
