The OEM piping is burdened by multiple bends, narrow diameters, and rubber components that degrade under heat and pressure, all of which slow airflow to and from the intercooler and limit the ST’s performance potential. Mishimoto replaces these components with a high‑flow, durable system designed to optimize boost efficiency.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe hot‑side pipe removes the factory turbo muffler and reduces the number of bends, creating a more direct path from the turbocharger to the intercooler. The internal diameter is increased to 2.5 inches using high‑grade aluminum, providing a 14‑percent increase in volume and a 26‑percent improvement in flow compared to the stock piping. Sturdy silicone couplers replace the factory rubber connections to ensure secure, heat‑resistant joints throughout the system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe cold‑side pipe receives a complete redesign as well. Five layers of silicone reinforced with heat‑resistant fibers replace the OEM rubber construction, maintaining cooler airflow and resisting deformation under load. Internal steel wire reinforcement ensures the pipe retains its shape during high‑boost operation. To accommodate the larger Mishimoto Performance Radiator, the cold‑side pipe features an elliptical profile that provides additional clearance without compromising flow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhen paired with the Mishimoto Performance Intake and Intercooler, the full piping system delivers a 21‑percent increase in charged‑air flow and adds 8 hp and 10 lb‑ft of torque on the stock tune. This kit is engineered for reliable performance in daily driving, autocross, and track environments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MISHIMOTO","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":57045269512516,"sku":"MMICP-FOST-13KP-1-black","price":398.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver","offer_id":57045269545284,"sku":"MMICP-FOST-13KP-2-silver","price":398.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/2422\/9188\/files\/2_8cb01c85-47b9-4326-90d5-360e01ab3de5.jpg?v=1785161057","url":"https:\/\/www.aeroflexautomotive.com\/products\/mishimoto-ford-focus-st-intercooler-pipe-kit-2013-2018","provider":"Aeroflex Automotive","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
