PERRIN 08-21 Subaru STI Top Mount Intercooler (TMIC) - Silver

If you're pushing your 2008-2021 Subaru STI hard, especially with performance tuning, managing intake air temperature is crucial. This top mount intercooler from Perrin Performance is designed to replace the factory unit, helping to keep your engine's air charge cooler and denser. Cooler air means more oxygen for combustion, which translates to more power and a more responsive engine, particularly when you're running higher boost levels or have made other modifications to your STI's induction system.

Perrin built this intercooler with a focus on efficient heat dissipation. It features a bar-and-plate core design, which offers a larger surface area for cooling compared to the stock tube-and-fin style. The end tanks are constructed from cast aluminum for a solid, leak-free connection to the core and the charge piping. This well-built unit is finished in silver, giving your engine bay a clean, performance-oriented look. Installation involves removing the factory intercooler and installing this upgraded unit, often requiring some adjustments to the charge piping depending on your specific setup and other modifications.

This intercooler is a popular choice for STI owners looking to improve their car's performance and reliability under demanding conditions. It's important to note that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. For optimal performance and to ensure proper fitment with your specific modifications, it's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's installation guide or a trusted mechanic.
