PERRIN 02-07 Subaru WRX/STi Front Mount Intercooler Core & Mounting Beam - Silver Core

This Perrin front mount intercooler core and mounting beam assembly is specifically for the 2006 and 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX and STi models. If you've upgraded your turbocharger or are planning to, managing the heat generated by compressed air is crucial for performance and engine health. An intercooler's job is to cool that hot charge air before it enters the engine, making it denser and allowing for a more efficient combustion. This kit replaces the factory top-mount intercooler with a larger, more effective front-mount unit and includes a solid mounting beam for secure installation.

The core itself is designed for improved airflow and heat dissipation compared to the stock unit. Perrin uses a bar-and-plate design, which is well-known for its robust construction and excellent cooling capabilities, especially under sustained boost. The included mounting beam is a well-built piece that ensures the intercooler stays firmly in place, even under the stresses of spirited driving. This setup is a popular choice for Subaru owners looking to extract more reliable power from their turbocharged engines, especially when pushing beyond stock boost levels. The silver finish on the core gives it a clean, performance-oriented look behind the grille.

When installing this front-mount intercooler, you'll typically need to relocate some components, and it's a good idea to have a set of basic hand tools ready. Because this is a significant upgrade over the factory intercooler, it's often paired with other modifications like an upgraded blow-off valve or exhaust system to take full advantage of the improved charge cooling. Please note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
