Subtle Solutions Chimney Duct w/ Turbo Heat Shield Black Subaru Forester XT 2004-2008

Part #: ENG - 4005 - BLK. Minimize heat soak risks with this awesome Subtle Solutions Chimney Duct featuring a heat shield. It's a perfect fit for those who've upgraded to STI top - mount intercoolers and can also work with some modified aftermarket intercoolers. This duct uses the stock intercooler mounting bracket for easy fitment. Its chimney - like design creates an outlet for built - up hot air to escape through your factory or aftermarket hood scoop. Moreover, it lets cooler air flow through to push warmer air out of the engine bay and towards the ground. Crafted from 304 stainless steel, CAD - designed, CNC - pressed, and laser - cut before getting a sleek black powder - coated finish. A rubber gasket and all necessary hardware are included for quick installation.

Using this chimney duct is easy. First, gather all the included parts: the chimney duct, rubber gasket, and hardware. Then, use the stock intercooler mounting bracket to attach the duct in place. Make sure to install the rubber gasket properly to prevent any air leaks. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the powder - coated finish. If it gets scratched, touch it up to prevent rusting. Clean the duct regularly with a mild soap and water solution to remove dirt and debris. As for usage, you don't need to do anything special once it's installed. It'll automatically work to keep your engine bay cool. Just remember, if you notice any unusual noises or reduced performance, check the duct for any signs of damage or loose connections.
