Description
The Mishimoto Turbo Inlet Pipe Upgrade Kit (MMAI-CTR-17URD) is purpose-built for the 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R, replacing the factory cast-aluminum turbo inlet with a redesigned pathway engineered using 3D printing, CAD modeling, and flow bench testing. The result is a passage from the air intake box to the turbocharger that is 16.7-percent less restrictive than the stock unit, giving owners who have already installed the Mishimoto Performance Intake a way to unlock even more of their induction system’s potential.
Where a cold air intake filter and air intake system handle the first stage of drawing air into the engine, this inlet pipe picks up where the factory piping leaves off, smoothing the route air travels just before it reaches the turbo. A CNC-machined cast-aluminum turbo compressor inlet flange is built to OEM specifications for a true bolt-on fit, while the upper section is mandrel-bent aluminum piping that is professionally TIG welded to the cast lower section for strength and a leak-free seal. A robust 4-ply silicone inlet coupler adapts the larger-diameter pipe to the MAF housing on the Mishimoto Performance Intake, and a CNC-machined EVAP hose flange keeps factory emissions routing intact. Whether you’re focused on maximizing airflow from your air intake filter or simply refining the overall air intake system, this inlet pipe is the next logical step after upgrading your intake.
