Cobb 15-18 Subaru WRX Top Mount Intercooler - Silver (Requires COBB Charge Pipe)

This COBB Top Mount Intercooler features a bar-and-plate core design, a well-known approach for efficient heat dissipation in turbocharged vehicles. It's specifically built to fit the 2015-2018 Subaru WRX, offering an improved cooling solution over the factory unit. By lowering the temperature of the air charge entering your engine, this intercooler helps maintain consistent power output, especially under demanding conditions or after modifications.

The intercooler's construction uses durable aluminum for its tanks and core, balancing weight savings with robust performance. Its silver finish offers a clean look under the hood. This top-mount design places the intercooler directly above the engine, which can simplify installation compared to some front-mount setups, though it does require careful routing of plumbing. It's important to note that this intercooler is designed to work with the COBB Charge Pipe (sold separately), ensuring a complete and optimized airflow path from the turbocharger to the engine intake.

When installing this intercooler, you'll want to ensure all connections are secure to prevent any boost leaks. The improved cooling capacity can lead to more stable engine performance and potentially allow your engine management system to take better advantage of other modifications. This is a solid option for WRX owners looking to enhance their vehicle's forced induction system.
