Description
The Mishimoto MMICP-EVO-01BK is a mandrel-bent, polished aluminum intercooler pipe kit engineered specifically for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 7/8/9 platform. Built for owners chasing better turbo response, this forced induction pipe kit replaces the factory piping with smooth, efficient aluminum tubing paired with heat- and pressure-tolerant black silicone couplers. Backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty, it’s designed to hold up whether the car is a daily driver or a stripped-down track build.
Stock intercooler piping on a forced induction system often includes restrictive bends that slow airflow and blunt turbo spool. Mishimoto’s mandrel bending process eliminates those kinks, letting compressed air move through the induction system with less resistance. That translates to improved turbocharger spool and support for high-horsepower forced induction applications. Bead-rolled pipe ends work with the included T-bolt clamps to resist boost leaks and prevent coupler disconnection under sustained boost pressure, while the silicone couplers offer greater heat and pressure tolerance than the rubber couplers found on the factory system. For enthusiasts researching forced induction upgrades, an induction system built around properly sized, mandrel-bent aluminum pipe reduces one more restriction point between the turbo and the engine.
Vehicle Applications
This kit is designed to fit the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution from 2003 through 2006, along with the Evolution MR and Evolution RS for the 2005 and 2006 model years, and the Evolution SE for 2006. CARB compliance for this kit applies to 2003-2006 model years only, and the upper intercooler pipes are not designed to work with the stock airbox—an aftermarket open element air filter is required for use with the upper intercooler pipes.
