PERRIN 15-21 Subaru WRX / 14-18 Forester XT Top Mount Intercooler - Silver

This is the Perrin Performance Top Mount Intercooler, specifically designed for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX and the 2014-2018 Forester XT. If you've been pushing your turbocharged Subaru and noticing heat soak affecting performance, this intercooler is a solid upgrade. It replaces the factory unit with a much more efficient design, helping to keep your intake air temperatures down, which is crucial for maintaining consistent power, especially when you're running higher boost levels or driving hard.

Perrin built this intercooler with a focus on airflow and heat dissipation. It features a bar-and-plate core, which is known for its excellent thermal efficiency compared to tube-and-fin designs. The core itself is quite dense, offering a larger surface area to absorb and release heat. The end tanks are cast aluminum, shaped to smoothly transition airflow into and out of the core, minimizing turbulence and pressure drop. This means the air charge reaching your engine is cooler and denser, allowing for more efficient combustion and improved throttle response. The silver finish gives it a clean, performance-oriented look under the hood.

Installation involves removing the stock intercooler and mounting this one in its place. While it's a direct fit, you'll want to be careful when disconnecting the factory piping and reconnecting the new setup to ensure a good seal. This intercooler is a significant upgrade for anyone looking to get the most out of their turbocharged Subaru, especially if you've modified other parts of the induction system. Please note that this intercooler is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
