Description
The Mishimoto MMICP-EVO-01BL is a mandrel bent aluminum intercooler pipe kit built specifically for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7/8/9, finished in polished aluminum and paired with blue silicone couplers instead of the stock rubber pieces. Every pipe end is bead-rolled to keep couplers locked in place under boost, and the kit is designed with high-horsepower Evolution builds in mind. Whether the car is a daily driver or a stripped, caged time attack build, this kit is aimed at improving airflow through the charge air system.
By eliminating the restrictive bends found in factory Evolution piping, this Mishimoto forced induction piping kit helps improve turbocharger spool and supports a more efficient induction system overall. The blue silicone couplers offer greater heat and pressure tolerance than the factory rubber couplers, which matters as boost and underhood temperatures climb on a modified forced induction setup. Combined with lightweight mandrel bent aluminum pipes, this kit is built to be a durable, performance-oriented upgrade for owners looking to optimize their Evolution’s force induction system without adding unnecessary weight or restriction.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto intercooler pipe kit is designed to fit the 2003–2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, including the 2005–2006 Lancer Evolution MR and RS trims, as well as the 2006 Lancer Evolution SE. Note that the upper intercooler pipes are not designed to work with the stock airbox, so an aftermarket open element air filter is required for proper installation.
