Cobb 15-21 Subaru WRX/STI FMIC Core - Silver

This is the COBB Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) Core for your 2015-2021 Subaru WRX or STI. If you've upgraded your turbo or are planning to, managing the heat from compressed intake air is crucial for performance. This intercooler core is designed to replace your factory unit, offering a much larger surface area and improved airflow to cool the charge air more effectively before it enters your engine. Cooler intake air means a denser air charge, which allows your engine to make more power reliably.

COBB built this intercooler core with a dense, high-efficiency bar-and-plate design. This construction is known for its excellent thermal capacity, meaning it can absorb and dissipate a lot of heat. The core itself is silver, giving it a clean look behind the grille. It's designed to fit the factory mounting points and connect to factory or COBB's own piping kits, making installation more straightforward than a universal unit. The larger core dimensions mean it fills more of the front bumper opening, maximizing its exposure to incoming airflow for better cooling performance, especially during spirited driving or track use.

When installing this intercooler, you'll want to ensure all connections are secure to prevent boost leaks. It's a significant upgrade over the stock intercooler and is a popular choice for WRX/STI owners looking to support higher horsepower levels. Please note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the most accurate guidance.
