COBB continues to excel in the quality and care they put into their products, and it shows in their intercooler kits. These kits move the stock intercooler (which is normally top mounted) to the front bumper area, offering the best air to air cooling possible. Though a top mounted cooler works for your day to day drive, they are quickly overworked when trying to maximize performance. With the change in position, size of the core, and larger piping, the dynamics and potential change drastically. The kit can also be combined with a COBB AccessPORT for best efficiency. These kits provide great power results and hold up well in vehicles pushing upwards of 800 HP!

The large bar and plate design not only increases durability, but provides a large surface-area for heat to be dissipated without the heat-soak issues encountered with stock units. The large diameter CNC mandrel bent aluminum tubes are powder coated in a wrinkle black finish for longevity and provide a smooth transition from turbo, to cooler, to throttle body. The included 5-ply silicone couplers ensure no leaks, even at high boost levels. Most options will also include a coolant reservoir tank and bypass valve when applicable (please see application notes for details). With carefully crafted pipe routing, attention to detail, and focus on performance, this makes it a must have kit for your Subaru WRX.

Key Features:

• Can be combined with a COBB AccessPORT tune for maximum power results.
• Direct fit design to your specific Subaru WRX.
• Lightweight air-to-air, bar and plate design.
• High thermal capacity and front position prevents power-loss common with heat-soaking issues.
• Bar and plate design is very durable and resistant to damage.
• Perfect balance of heat exchanging efficiency and flow.
• Comes with all pipes, brackets, and hardware needed for installation.

Fitment Notes: Some models may require slight cutting of the bumper for maximum airflow. The instructions will provide details on where and how to do this.
