Description
The Mishimoto MMICP-F150-11CP Cold-Side Intercooler Pipe Kit is purpose-built for the 2011-2014 Ford F-150 3.5L V6 EcoBoost, swapping out the truck’s restrictive factory plastic piping for mandrel-bent aluminum tube paired with DuraCore-equipped silicone couplers. Engineered to eliminate the tight, restrictive bends found in the factory cold-side charge pipe, this kit increases internal volume by 34 percent compared to stock. It’s finished in polished aluminum (a wrinkle black powder-coated finish is also available) and drops in without any trimming or modification.
As a forced induction system upgrade, this Mishimoto pipe kit is about more than just looks – it’s engineered to move air more efficiently through your EcoBoost’s induction system. The 3.5-inch aluminum pipes replace weak stock plastic sections that are prone to failure, while the included DuraCore silicone couplers offer superior resistance to heat, pressure, fuel, and oil, extending coupler life and helping prevent leaks or blowouts. A CNC quick-disconnect flange ensures durable, accurate fitment to either the stock or a Mishimoto intercooler, and Mishimoto’s constant-tension T-bolt clamps lock everything down for a secure installation. Pair this cold-side kit with Mishimoto’s matching hot-side intercooler pipe kit for the same platform, and the improved, unimpeded airflow can be worth up to 15 more horsepower and 21 ft-lbs more torque; adding Mishimoto’s performance intercooler further rounds out the charge-air system for anyone focused on a more capable force induction setup.
