Description
The Mishimoto MMICP-FOST-13HP hot-side intercooler pipe is a direct-fit forced induction upgrade engineered specifically for the 2013-2018 Ford Focus ST, replacing the factory hot-side piping with a mandrel-bent aluminum design that opens up the charge-air path between the turbo and intercooler.
The stock hot-side pipe on the Focus ST is held back by tight bends, a restrictive inner diameter, and muffling equipment that slow airflow and generate turbulence on the way to the intercooler. Mishimoto addresses this in its forced induction pipe by reducing the number of bends and increasing the diameter to 2.5 inches, delivering a 14-percent increase in volume and 26-percent greater flow than the stock hot-side pipe. In real-world terms, Mishimoto notes this results in an added bonus of 8hp and 10ft/lbs of torque. For any Focus ST owner researching a forced induction system upgrade, an induction system pipe with less restriction and better flow characteristics is a straightforward way to support the factory turbo’s performance induction potential.
