Cobb 08-14 Subaru WRX Front Mount Intercooler Kit - Silver

This kit includes the COBB Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) and all the necessary mounting hardware and piping to install it on your 2008-2014 Subaru WRX. Designed to replace the factory top-mount intercooler, this front-mount setup offers a significant improvement in cooling efficiency for your turbocharged engine. By placing the intercooler in the front of the vehicle, it benefits from cooler ambient air, allowing it to more effectively reduce the temperature of the air charge coming from the turbocharger before it enters the engine.

The COBB FMIC features a well-built, bar-and-plate core construction. This design is known for its ability to dissipate heat effectively, which is crucial for maintaining consistent engine performance, especially under demanding conditions or after repeated acceleration. The included aluminum piping is designed to handle boost pressure reliably and is shaped to ensure smooth airflow from the turbo to the intercooler and then to the throttle body. This attention to airflow path design helps to minimize restrictions and maintain responsiveness.

Installing a front-mount intercooler like this one is a common modification for WRX owners looking to support increased boost levels or simply improve the reliability of their cooling system. It's a substantial upgrade that can help prevent heat soak, allowing your engine to produce more consistent power and potentially extend the life of critical engine components by keeping temperatures in check. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for detailed guidance on fitting this kit to your vehicle.
