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

Part #: ENG - 4005 - BLU. Cut down the risk of heat soak with the Subtle Solutions Chimney Duct featuring a heat shield. Ideal for those who've upgraded to STI top - mount intercoolers, it can also work with some aftermarket intercoolers after minor modifications. This chimney duct uses the stock intercooler mounting bracket for a perfect fit. Its design, like a chimney, provides 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 towards the ground. Crafted from 304 stainless steel, it's CAD - designed, CNC - pressed, and laser - cut before getting a black powder - coated finish. We'll provide a rubber gasket and all the necessary hardware for easy installation.

Using this chimney duct is easy. First, make sure your Subaru Forester XT is turned off and cooled down. Use the provided hardware and rubber gasket to install the chimney duct onto the stock intercooler mounting bracket. It's designed to fit well, but double - check the alignment. When it comes to maintenance, you can periodically clean the duct with a mild soap and water solution to keep it in good condition. As for things to note, be careful during installation to avoid any damage to the duct or other engine components. Also, if you notice any unusual noises or performance issues after installation, it's a good idea to check the duct's connection and overall condition.
