Description
The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Pipe Kit (MMICP-CIV-16KWBK) is purpose-built for the L15B7-powered Honda Civic, replacing the factory piping with a mandrel-bent aluminum and silicone coupler system engineered specifically for the 2016-2021 Civic 1.5T and 2017-2020 Civic Si. Where the factory piping is restrictive, bend-heavy, and constructed from degradation-prone materials, this Mishimoto kit opens up the intercooling path for real gains.
Forced induction engines depend on efficient charge-air movement, and this pipe kit is engineered around that principle. Mishimoto increased the piping diameter from the stock 42mm to 55mm — a 30-percent jump in size — while also reducing bend angles to give charged air a more direct route through the induction system. The factory’s degradation-prone plastic cold-side pipe is replaced with mandrel-bent aluminum piping, and the stock rubber couplers are swapped for couplers built from 5 layers of durable silicone embedded with heat-resistant fibers, keeping engine heat out of the charged air. Paired with a Mishimoto Performance Intercooler, this pipe kit is rated for 4 whp and 8 wtq gains, with additional headroom for tuned applications looking for greater forced induction flow.
Vehicle Applications
This Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Pipe Kit is a direct fit for the L15B7-equipped Honda Civic 1.5T, covering DX (2016-2020), EX, EX-L, LX, and Touring (2016-2021), EX-T and LX-P (2016-2018), Turbo (2016-2017), and Turbo Plus (2017-2020), along with Sport and Sport Touring (2017-2021), Sport Plus (2019-2020), i-Style (2018-2021), and the Coupe and SE trims (2018). It also fits the 2017-2020 Honda Civic Si. Covered chassis codes include FC1, FC3, FK4, and FK7. Note that this pipe kit is only compatible with the Mishimoto Performance Intercooler and will not mount to the stock intercooler.
