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

The cast mid-section on this Mishimoto hot-side intercooler pipe for the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS is a smart design choice. It keeps the factory ducting that directs airflow to the front PTU, which is crucial for keeping your drivetrain cool when you're pushing the car hard. A standard round pipe can restrict airflow and worsen known overheating issues, but this pipe is shaped to send air right where it needs to go.

Beyond that smart airflow management, this pipe increases internal volume by 40-percent over stock, with 2.5-inch inlet and outlet diameters. This results in a notable 45-percent less pressure drop compared to the factory pipe, meaning your turbo can push air more efficiently. The pipe attaches to the turbo and intercooler with 5-ply, wire-reinforced silicone boots. These boots offer good heat resistance and the flexibility needed to handle engine movement, and the whole assembly fits without needing to remove the lower crossbar.

This kit comes with all the necessary hardware for a direct fit installation, meaning no modifications are needed. It's a solid option for improving your Focus RS's forced induction system.
