Description
The Mishimoto MMICP-FOST-13HWBK is a wrinkle black powder-coated, mandrel-bent aluminum hot-side intercooler pipe built specifically to replace the restrictive factory hot-side piping on the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST. Where the stock pipe is choked down with tight bends, a narrow inner diameter, and muffling equipment, this Mishimoto forced induction pipe opens up the path from turbo to intercooler with a straighter, larger-diameter route.
As part of Mishimoto’s forced induction system lineup, this hot-side pipe is engineered to reduce turbulence and improve flow through your Focus ST’s induction system. The kit increases pipe diameter to 2.5 inches, delivering a 14-percent increase in volume and 26-percent greater flow versus the stock hot-side pipe. Mishimoto also swaps out the factory’s degradation-prone rubber couplers for silicone couplers built with 5 layers of heat-resistant fibers and wire reinforcement, so the piping and connections can handle sustained heat cycling in a performance induction setup.
Vehicle Applications
This hot-side intercooler pipe is a direct fit for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST. No other vehicles, model years, or trims are covered by this application.
