Cobb 11-14 Subaru STI Front Mount Intercooler Kit - Silver

The large, 24 inch x 12 inch x 3.5 inch core of this COBB front mount intercooler kit is designed to significantly improve cooling for your 2011-2014 Subaru STI. By placing a larger, more efficient intercooler in front of the radiator, it can take advantage of cooler ambient air, which is crucial for reducing intake air temperatures after the turbocharger. Lower intake air temperatures mean denser air charge, allowing your engine to make more power reliably.

COBB put a lot of thought into making this kit fit right and perform well. The kit includes custom-bent aluminum piping with smooth mandrel bends to ensure unrestricted airflow. It also comes with all the necessary silicone couplers and high-quality T-bolt clamps to secure everything. The intercooler itself is a well-built unit with a silver finish, designed to handle the increased boost pressures common in modified STI models. This setup replaces the restrictive factory top-mount intercooler, which can become heat-soaked quickly under spirited driving or track use.

When installing this kit, you'll be relocating the factory horn and potentially other components to make room for the larger intercooler. The piping is designed to connect seamlessly to your factory turbo outlet and throttle body, though some minor adjustments might be needed depending on other modifications. This front mount intercooler is a substantial upgrade for any STI owner looking to push their car's performance further, especially if you're running an aftermarket tune or larger turbocharger.
