Product Description

The Mishimoto MMICP-RS-16HWBK Hot-Side Intercooler Pipe Kit is a performance upgrade engineered specifically for the 2016-2018 Ford Focus RS with the 2.3L EcoBoost engine. This direct-fit pipe increases internal volume by approximately 40 % compared to the stock hot-side pipe and reduces pressure drop by about 45 %, improving airflow efficiency and helping maintain boost pressure. Designed with a cast mid-section that works with the factory PTU (powertrain control unit) cooling duct, this pipe enhances charge-air flow while preserving essential drivetrain cooling routing.

The kit includes wire-reinforced, 5-ply silicone couplers and all necessary clamps and hardware for a straightforward installation with no modifications required. The flexible silicone construction absorbs engine movement stresses and delivers greater heat and pressure tolerance over stock components. Backed by Mishimoto's lifetime limited warranty, this hot-side pipe kit is ideal for enthusiasts looking to improve turbo responsiveness and overall intercooler system performance on their Focus RS. Recommended clamp torque is 27 in-lbs (3 N·m).
