Mishimoto 2022+ WRX Intercooler Kit W/ Intake SL Core MWBK Pipes

If you're looking to push your 2022-2025 Subaru WRX further, upgrading the intercooler is a key step. This Mishimoto Performance Front-Mount Intercooler Kit is designed to handle increased boost and heat, whether you're building for the track, dragstrip, or just spirited street driving. The stock intercooler can struggle to keep intake air cool under load, leading to heat soak and reduced engine performance. This Mishimoto kit directly addresses that issue with a much larger core and improved airflow design.

This kit features a substantial 4-inch thick intercooler core, positioned in the lower bumper grille for maximum exposure to incoming air. The cast end tanks are optimized using CFD analysis to ensure smooth airflow into and out of the core, minimizing pressure drop. Mishimoto's testing shows this setup can bring outlet temperatures within 10 degrees of ambient air, even on the stock tune, ensuring consistent power delivery. The included high-flow pipes are designed to match the intercooler's internal diameter, further reducing the pressure drop to just 1.5 PSI, meaning more of your turbo's boost reaches the engine. This kit also includes a Mishimoto Performance intake, designed to work seamlessly with the intercooler for maximum airflow efficiency.

Installation is designed to be straightforward, with no cutting of the bumper or body required. The kit retains the factory side impact bars and includes a new bumper support bar that still accommodates the factory tow hook mount, maintaining vehicle safety features. A washer fill neck relocation kit is also included to make maintenance easier and keep the engine bay looking clean. This Mishimoto intercooler kit is a well-built solution for WRX owners ready to move beyond the stock limitations and unlock more reliable performance.
