What is the main benefit of a front mount intercooler over a top mount?

A front mount intercooler, like this COBB kit, benefits from cooler ambient air due to its placement behind the front bumper. This allows for more efficient cooling of the turbocharger's compressed air compared to the factory top-mount intercooler, which is located above the engine and can be exposed to more heat.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, the COBB Front Mount Intercooler Kit comes complete with all the required piping, silicone couplers, and clamps needed to install the intercooler in place of the factory unit.

Will this intercooler affect my car's throttle response?

By significantly lowering intake air temperatures, this intercooler helps the engine breathe denser air. This can lead to improved throttle response and a more consistent power delivery, especially during spirited driving or when the engine is under load.

Product Details

This front mount intercooler kit from COBB Tuning is built with a dense, high-performance bar and plate core, measuring 24 inches wide by 12 inches tall and 3.5 inches thick. This substantial core is designed to significantly improve the cooling efficiency of the charge air coming from your turbocharger on your 2008-2014 Subaru WRX. By lowering the intake air temperature, the engine can produce more consistent power, especially during repeated acceleration or in warmer conditions. The black finish on the core and piping gives it a stealthy look behind the grille.

COBB has engineered this kit to be a direct fit for the 08-14 WRX, meaning it replaces the factory top-mount intercooler with a larger, more effective front-mounted unit. The kit includes all the necessary piping, silicone couplers, and clamps required for installation. The larger surface area and thicker core allow for more efficient heat dissipation compared to the stock intercooler. This improved cooling can lead to a more responsive throttle and a more stable power output from your turbocharged engine, helping it perform at its best.

Installing a front mount intercooler is a common modification for WRX owners looking to maximize their turbo system's potential. This COBB kit is designed to integrate smoothly with your existing intake and exhaust components. While the kit is designed for a direct fit, it's always a good idea to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and any recommended supporting modifications to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your engine.
