🔴 Mishimoto Red Silicone Intercooler Hoses - Subaru WRX/STI 2004-2007 Compatibility (MMHOSE-SUB-INT4RD) Review

Good WIDTH terminals. The IC hose to the throttle body is barely enough for both clamps :) The 90 degree hose from the turbo to the IC is a bit long, but a razor won't fix anything. And that tube retails for over $400. I don't know what people are complaining about clamps, they are wider and safer for tubing, standard worm gear clamps cut the tubing. The supplied clamps have rounded edges to prevent this. The old hoses had cuts from the clamps.

2005 STI decided I would buy a good brand so I wouldn't have to deal with plumbing headaches. This product is a full junk hose going from the throttle body to the intercooler, too short a hose going from the turbo to the intercooler was too long, clamps were totally useless, I had to buy clamps and make everything work as I did from the start on with the hose had ripped and i needed my car that day i will dismantle everything and throw it in the trash as soon as i get new hoses waste of money…

clamps are horrible and the wrong size, you will have to reuse all your clamps or buy a new set. The turbo outlet MUST be cut for each turbo you have (which in many cases is a good thing since you know it will fit regardless of the turbo). The hose is good quality, but I did notice a noticeably louder "squeezing" noise during gear changes due to the purge recirculation. I thought there was a leak and it was escaping to the atmosphere, but I think it's just a normal function of this tube. I…

These hoses were fine. I got them for my 2004 Subaru Forester XT after an STI swap. The colors look good under the hood, but I've had a few issues with them. First it turned out that the L-shaped manifold behind the intercooler was the wrong size. Luckily the intercooler I bought came with this hose so I was safe. Second, the boot that was attached to a short hose at the bottom of the intercooler near the air duct ruptured. It rusted on the hinge and caused a vacuum leak in my intercooler. Not…

SUMMARY: I was going to replace all 3 of these hoses but basically bought this bypass hose which has a special fit so I decided to kill 3 birds with one stone. If I could go back I would buy the original bypass hose and find a standard 90 degree elbow and better quality fitting coupler. Overall the hoses fit and work properly, but for the price it seems I can get better quality from generic/OEM sources. Also, it sucks to spend another $5-$10 on inferior clamps after purchasing high-quality…
