Mishimoto MMHOSE-SUB-ITBBK Silicone Throttle Body Hose Fits Subaru WRX 2008-2014 Black

Fit like a glove and a strong improvement in feel over the stock one. No performance gains with this one, just the assurance that it will mot blow out, as the stock one at 135k is hardened and starting to split. Great update! No trimming! Just remove and install.

Used for a 2005 LGT Wagon, car has 185k has leaking pipes everywhere, this is the last one I replaced and Well worth the money. Had a boost leak on a stock motor, replaced all vacuum lines, the turbo inlet tube, intercooler and finally this pipe Intercooler to throttle. Hesitation went away and seems to run better.For install I had logo facing up intercooler side. Also had an issue with the mounting bracket on the drivers side of the engine. The two front 12 mm bolts I couldn’t get to realign back up. (Assuming this part was a little longer) so I drilled a hole between the 2 12mm bolts and just installed one bolt back.That’s what I had to do maybe yours will be different! Who cares it’s running! Nothing better then flying by a nice car on the highway in an old wagon!!

After a few attempts to fix my '12 wrx oem hose by removing the sleeves, adjusting the clamps, and repositioning it, I finally caved and got this hose. I looked at it from day one but although inexpensive, I didn't want to pay that much for a hose.I finally got it and I guess I'm paying for the engineering for such a specific application so I'll suck it up and say I'm happy with my purchase. I've heard these used to come with T-bolt clamps but honestly idk how I would've made those fit, the clamps included seem better than stock...or maybe its just because they're new. For those that wish paper instructions with some pictures were included, like most qualify parts (or even a better install video that doesn't miss the main issue with installation), I'll save you some trouble. The indentation and writing go on the intercooler side. While the video says writing goes up and someone else mentioned writing off to the passenger side a bit, mine was more off to the drivers side.HUGE pro tip: the indentation goes on the bottom, centered. Took me two tries but with the indentation placement figured out, hopefully I'll save you some headaches.

If you are taking off the intercooler for anything go ahead and replace this hose ..They are known to fail and get boost leaks.. We was doing a bigger Top Mount Intercooler so why not definitely worth every penny…

Nobody buys this part unless you come across the dreaded common boost leak for our cars. I'm rating the part 4 stars, because I would've liked even a somewhat thrown together instruction sheet. I mean they have a video on YouTube on the install, but I'd rather just see a sheet of paper that shows take off intercooler with bolts here and here, disconnect BPV, take off, put on hose facing this way, put intercooler on and go choo choo with proper boost pressure and better idle. Part seems solid quality, you don't really see the part when it's installed so I would personally buy the cheapest color available if you're just looking to fix the issue without being nitpicky about seeing literally like 2" of it after being installed. Solid Mishimoto quality, install took about 25mins, even though description said about an hour. Then again, I'm no expert wrencher, nor a clueless rookie. Having the proper tools help too. Mainly 12mm, a rachet, some type of extension, some pliers, and either a 8mm or flathead for the hose clamps.

Clamps were pretty garbage. I’d definitely recommend using the original clamps when installing. And for 70$ come on that’s a lil wack. Buuuuuut… i didn’t buy it for the clamps. I bought it to replace the coupler. And it is perfect.

Mishimoto's website said this fits the 15+ wrx. I went out on a limb and ordered it. Fit is perfect. The little dimple goes straight down with the words straight up (but backwards as if reading it from the driver seat). Took me all of 20 minutes to install. With only 1 adjustment. If there's a gap on the bottom intercooler side, rotate the words toward the driverside. I got perfect for all around. As far as quality, feels like any other decent enforced silicone coupler. Only 2 concerns, that dimple blowing out (should be good for what these motors can take) and the hose clamps are weak at best and I will be swapping those out. Order the breeze constant pressure ones...naosic has the parts list that fit...9444 I think is the number for this.

Super easy to install, good quality product!I've been hunting a hesitation issue in low RPM's for quite some time and after some research, it is known for our factory throttle body hoses to deteriorate overtime.After removing my intercooler and inspecting the factory hose, it is clear to see the cracks and tears that has developed over the years through heat cycling.Once installed, I didn't bother resetting my ECU and decided to let the car relearn it self. Hesitation was still there but after several days of driving, it is almost 100% gone!Just a tip, the hose is quite tough and rigid out of the box so please make sure to re-tighten your hose clamps after several days of driving as the clamps will loosen. This could be due to vibrations or the silicone hose becoming a little bit more flexible through heat cycles. I've also relocated the location of the clamp on the throttle body so I can re-tighten without removing the intercooler. A socket extension can reach between the intake manifolds to the bottom of the throttle body.

great fit nice and soft. great product

Not only was the stock hose leaking oil, Subaru Canada wanted an arm and a leg to replace it with a stock hose. The Mishimoto hose was 1/3 the quoted price and fit like a glove. Installation took about 45 minutes. Note - be sure to have plenty of light available as the bottom clamp is nearly impossible to see because it is buried under several other hoses... Power delivery is better now, and lag has been greatly reduced (your results may differ, my stock hose was leaking and robbing my car of low RPM power).

This IS the fix for the 08-14 WRX intercooler to throttle body hose fix as the JUNK stock subaru one is a failure from the factory big time. Especially pushing more boost then stock its a must!!I'll be honest here, it was a damn struggle to get the Mishimoto one on as alot of people have said. But, there's definitely a trick to it as it has to put on exactly with the dimple inside the hose exactly on the bottom or it will not work for you. Lube up the inside lip with spit and put it on the throttle body first semi loose on the clamp, then loosly bolt the intercooler to the turbo so it stick can move a bit (don't forget grey anti seize on the bolts) then lub the inside lip of the hose on the intercooler side and muscle it into place. Then crank down both clamps. Then the bolts on the turbo.Mine seats 100% in both ends. Fit, finish and durability is 1000x better then the stock junk hose.The people here that can't get it on are doing it wrong. Follow what I said here and it WILL work for you.Or message me and I'll show you more pics of how to do it right.

I installed on my 2012 legacy gt fit perfectly

I always felt the oem coupler was slightly short. I installed a larger top mount intercooler and I was unable to get the coupler to sit properly due to its extreme rigidness. The mishimoto is slightly bigger and a lot softer which gives you a lot more wiggle room for installing. I will write another updated review after I've driven the car for a bit.UPDATE:After the install I'M REALLY HAPPY, I realized my orignal throttle body was causing a lot of issues for a long time. When coming to a stop the car would hesitate and almost stall intermittently, when going into boost, I would hear the whooshing sound a lot more than usual which was because the coupler would get loose from the throttle body causing a boost leak.I strongly recommend this to anyone running a stock or modified tune. The oem coupler is really really bad, it become extremely stiff and almost looks like it's too short.A must buy! Or at least replace it whether it's a mishimoto or not.
