Cobb 08-14 Subaru STi Front Mount Intercooler Kit - Black

If you're looking to get the most out of your turbocharged 2008-2014 Subaru STi, especially if you've made other performance upgrades, a front mount intercooler is a critical component. This kit from COBB is designed to replace the factory top-mount intercooler, offering a much larger surface area and improved airflow to help cool the charge air coming from your turbo before it enters the engine. Cooler air means denser air, and denser air allows for more efficient combustion, which can translate to more power and better throttle response, especially under sustained load or in warmer conditions.

COBB engineered this kit with performance and ease of installation in mind. The intercooler itself features a black finish for a stealthy look under the hood and is constructed with a bar-and-plate design, known for its efficient heat dissipation. The kit includes all the necessary piping, silicone couplers, and mounting hardware required for a direct fit installation, meaning you won't need to cut or weld any factory components. This updated design helps reduce intake air temperatures more effectively than the stock unit, allowing your engine to perform at its best, particularly when you're pushing the car hard on the track or during spirited driving.

When installing a front mount intercooler, it's important to ensure all connections are secure to prevent any boost leaks. The included silicone couplers are robust and designed to withstand the pressures of forced induction. This COBB kit is a well-built solution for STi owners aiming for improved performance and reliability from their turbocharged engine.
