    If you follow any of the product development going on here at Mishimoto, you should have noticed our recent concentration on the Ford Mustang EcoBoost. So far we've developed, tested, and perfected a variety of awesome new components, including the list below.

    • Performance Intake System
    • Direct-Fit Catch Can
    • Direct-Fit Oil Cooler
    • Baffled Coolant Expansion Tank (still in the works)
    • Downpipe (still in the works)
    • Radiator (still in the works)
    • Intercooler
    • Intercooler Pipes
    • Low Temp Thermostat (more on this soon)

    The next target on our list will help your EcoBoost breathe a little easier, in the form of a larger-diameter and better-flowing cat-back exhaust. This is especially helpful for vehicles with aftermarket tuning packages. Combined with our 3" downpipe that is being developed, the exhaust system will provide the necessary flow for very high power goals, not to mention the sound you can expect with a larger

    We started with the base of the box, which will be utilizing the factory air duct to acquire a cool stream of airflow.
