Cobb 08-14 Subaru WRX/STI Front Mount Intercooler Core – Silver

The Cobb Front Mount Intercooler Core in silver finish serves as a direct replacement upgrade for 2008-2014 Subaru Impreza WRX and STI models. This bar-and-plate design efficiently dissipates heat from boosted intake air, lowering intake temperatures by up to 50°F under load for sustained power delivery. It supports increased boost pressures while minimizing pressure drop across the core.

Key Features

• Bar-and-Plate Construction: Dense fin layout captures and transfers heat rapidly from intake charge, enabling cooler air delivery to the engine for improved combustion efficiency.
• Large Core Dimensions: 23.6″ wide x 12.8″ tall x 3.54″ thick provides 1,100+ CFM flow capacity, handling high-volume turbo airflow without restriction.
• Silver Powdercoat Finish: Resists corrosion and reflects radiant heat, maintaining lower core temperatures during extended track or street use.
• Precision TIG Welds: Ensures leak-free performance and structural integrity under high-pressure conditions up to 40 PSI.
• Direct Bolt-On Design: Matches OEM-spec mounting points in Cobb FMIC frame, simplifying core swaps without frame modifications.

Product Notes

• Core only; requires existing Cobb FMIC frame, piping, and brackets for installation.
• Clean core regularly with approved intercooler cleaner to prevent fin clogging and maintain cooling performance.

Installation Notes

• Professional installation recommended.
• Drain coolant and remove end tanks from existing core before swap torque bolts to 18 ft-lbs.
• Compatible with stock hardware and Cobb FMIC frame (MPN 724500) no additional brackets needed.
