Mishimoto 15+ Subaru WRX Front-Mount Intercooler Kit - Silver Core

If you're looking to get the most out of your turbocharged 2015-2021 Subaru WRX, especially if you're pushing more boost or planning track days, a larger front-mount intercooler is a key upgrade. This Mishimoto kit is designed to significantly improve your engine's ability to cool the compressed air coming from the turbo before it enters the engine. Cooler air means a denser air charge, which allows for more fuel to be added, ultimately making more horsepower and torque.

Mishimoto built this intercooler with a substantial 28-inch core, aiming for maximum cooling capacity without creating excessive backpressure that could strain your turbocharger. The end tanks are cast and CFD-tested to ensure smooth airflow, avoiding the turbulence that can happen with welded designs. This focus on airflow extends to the piping; the hot-side pipes are 2.25 inches to maintain air velocity for quick turbo response, and they feature a CNC-machined flange for a secure, leak-free connection to the turbo. The cold-side pipes are larger, ranging from 2.5 to 2.75 inches, to match your throttle body and maximize flow. The kit includes a custom crash bar that mounts to existing points, meaning no cutting or drilling is needed for installation, and it even includes a new bracket for the air intake.

This kit comes with everything you need for installation, including all the necessary couplers and clamps. It's designed to work well with the Mishimoto Performance Air Intake, but it also fits with the stock intake. Mishimoto backs this intercooler with their Lifetime Warranty.
