Anyone running the mishimoto charge pipe kit ?

[Ludeem1]

I’m thinking about buying it but I’ve read the cold side pipe rubs against the fan shroud, I like that it comes with a resonator delete also. How is it to anyone who has it? Or should I just go with another brand like whoosh?

Waste of money imo. Ran my hybrid and my s280 on stock piping with no issues just doubled up on clamps in areas where they are prone to blowing off.

I am using the Mishimoto charge pipe kit.
It fits and works perfect.
Photos are available to view on my build page (link in sig).
I will not say the kit is better or worse than others but I am happy.

I had it on my Fiesta as well. Pricing from Whoosh for the pair is quite good.

Previous owner put hot and cold side on my car, as well. No rubbing that I can see. All good. (Seems to be just bling, though. Wrinkled black bling.) I'm not seeing the Resonator delete, though. What does an exhaust part have to do with an intercooler part?

I end up zip tieing my cold pipe to the fan shroud. Pretty tight in there. The whoosh should be fine, you can probably save some money there.

I am running the cold side pipe. As mentioned, clearance is a little tight. I was not completely happy with the fitment so I made a bracket.

I did not have any issues.

I am running a different intercooler. I had to cut the bend off opposite the TB to make it fit. This probably cause me some issues allowing the pipe to move around.

My bad I meant to say sound symposer

I think I might go with the whoosh kit and the hot side pipe, there’s no need to upgrade the cold side right ?

Experience with Mishimoto cold side only. Mishimoto's own testing (taken with grain of salt) showed improvement with cold side.

Noticed minimally improved charge air temps when I had used it with the older mountune IC under light loads. No noted difference WOT with undersized mountune IC. Kept it on when I upgraded to Whoosh V2 (cpe clone) IC.

No need to upgrade any of the pipes with a stock turbo or really any turbo other then for fitment.

I went with the woosh pipe, just because wanted to get rid of symposer and not use a plug. It fits good and is pretty cheap.

I have the Mishimoto kit, easy to install and the fit was perfect. I like the way it looks and the symposer delete is nice but like others have said probably not needed at all....I don't mind though, I enjoy fiddling with stuff and since my FiST is only my daily in the summer, I look forward to spending money on it.

I have the intercooler piping kit as I got a deal on the intercooler. I had some issues with the intercooler and they took care of me. I I have the wrinkle black. It was a pain in the balls to install, but overall sounds nice with the turbo spool sound in the intake. Not needed, but probably does something,

What kind of issues ?

Was a factory weld issue. Gave a minor boost leak. Issue was resolved with replacement.

How did you find the boost leak or know you had one? Im having a similar issue I think. I started a thread about it. It has all the info there that ive been dealing with.

I noticed a small hole in the intercooler upon inspection and installed it. It made a loud whistle. They shipped me a new one and I sent the old one back no questions asked. Just gave them some photos and explained what was going on. Whistle disappeared.
