Mishimoto 2022+ WRX Front Mount Intercooler Kit SL Core MWBK Pipes

If you're pushing your 2022-2025 Subaru WRX beyond stock, upgrading the intercooler is a critical step. The factory intercooler can struggle to keep intake air cool, especially under sustained boost, leading to heat soak and reduced performance. This Mishimoto front-mount intercooler kit is designed to address that directly, placing a much larger core in the path of maximum airflow behind the front bumper.

This kit features a substantial 4-inch thick core, paired with CFD-optimized cast end tanks and high-flow pipes. Mishimoto's testing shows this setup can bring outlet air temperatures within 10 degrees of ambient, even on the stock tune, ensuring consistent power delivery. It also results in a minimal 1.5 PSI pressure drop, meaning more of your turbo's boost reaches the engine. The kit is designed for a direct installation without requiring any cutting of the bumper or body, and it retains the factory side impact bars. A new bumper support bar is included, which also accommodates the factory tow hook mount.

Included with the kit is a washer fill neck relocation system, making maintenance straightforward and keeping the engine bay looking clean. If you're looking to improve your WRX's performance and reliability under demanding conditions, this Mishimoto intercooler is a well-built option. It's backed by Mishimoto's Lifetime Warranty.
