Mishimoto 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS Hot Side Intercooler Pipe - Black

To complete our intercooler component lineup for the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS, we at Mishimoto would like to introduce our Hot-Side Intercooler Pipe. This pipe has a truly innovative design that helps cool more than just air intake temperatures. Not only does it increase internal volume by 40-percent over stock with 2.5 inch inlet and outlet diameters, and maintain an average pressure drop of 45-percent, the cast mid-section retains the use of the factory ducting that directs airflow to the front PTU. A standard cylindrical pipe restricts airflow, and this doesn?t help the known problem of overheating drivetrains when the RS is being pushed to its limits. Our pipe is shaped to cleanly direct air right to the front PTU using that front duct, so airflow isn?t lost like with a traditional pipe design. In addition, this pipe comes with 5-ply, wire-reinforced silicone to attach to the turbo and intercooler, providing superior heat resistance and flexibility to accommodate for engine movement. The pipe can also fit without removing the lower cross bar. The kit comes with all necessary hardware, is a direct fit with no modifications necessary, and is backed by the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty. Intercooler pipe set designed to improve airflow between turbo and intercooler for enhanced performance. Durable piping reduces pressure loss, improves throttle response, and ensures a precise fit for reliable installation.

• Silicone boots absorb the stresses of excessive engine movement
• 45-percent less pressure drop than stock hot-side pipe
• Designed to not block cooling to the PTU

Enhance your Ford Focus RS with the Mishimoto Hot Side Intercooler Pipe, designed specifically for the 2016-2018 models. Crafted with an innovative shape, this pipe increases internal volume by 40 percent compared to the stock component, utilizing 2.5-inch inlet and outlet diameters to improve airflow and reduce pressure loss. The cast mid-section ensures seamless integration with the factory ducting that directs airflow to the front power transfer unit (PTU), preventing airflow restriction common with traditional cylindrical pipes. This thoughtful design helps mitigate overheating issues and maintains optimal engine temperatures during high-performance driving. The pipe's shape directs air efficiently to the PTU using the existing duct, avoiding airflow loss and ensuring consistent cooling. Made from durable materials, the pipe features 5-ply, wire-reinforced silicone boots that provide superior heat resistance and flexibility, accommodating engine movement without compromising seal integrity. Installation is straightforward, as the pipe fits without modifications or removal of the lower cross bar, and all necessary hardware is included. Backed by Mishimoto's lifetime warranty, this intercooler pipe set improves throttle response and overall performance by reducing pressure drops, ensuring reliable operation under demanding conditions. Designed to fit directly on the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS, this upgrade offers a reliable, high-quality solution for enthusiasts seeking to optimize their vehicle's airflow and cooling efficiency.
