Mishimoto 15+ Subaru WRX Front-Mount Intercooler Kit – Silver Core

Description

Enhance your Subaru WRX’s cooling capacity and boost performance with the Mishimoto Part Number MMINT-WRX-15SL Front-Mount Intercooler Kit. Designed specifically for 2015-2021 WRX models, this intercooler features a 28-inch core that maximizes airflow and heat exchange efficiency, enabling your vehicle to produce more horsepower and torque during demanding driving conditions. The large core is engineered to provide optimal cooling without creating excessive pressure drops, which helps maintain turbocharger longevity and consistent power delivery. Built with CFD-tested smooth cast end tanks, the intercooler ensures unobstructed airflow, avoiding sharp bends or walls that could disrupt air velocity and reduce cooling efficiency. The kit is ideal for high-performance applications such as time attack laps or quarter-mile runs, delivering consistent and reliable cooling performance.
The hot-side pipes are 2.25 inches in diameter, mandrel-bent from aluminum for high airflow velocities, and feature CNC-machined flanges for a leak-free connection to your turbocharger. The cold-side piping ranges from 2.5 to 2.75 inches, also mandrel-bent to maximize airflow and match your vehicle’s throttle body. This design minimizes throttle lag and provides quick spool-up, improving response and overall driving experience. The kit includes a sturdy application-specific crash bar that supports the intercooler and mounts easily to existing vehicle points, requiring no cutting or drilling for installation. All necessary brackets, couplers, and clamps are included to ensure a clean, professional-looking setup that complements your existing Mishimoto performance air intake.
This intercooler kit is tested and proven on Mishimoto’s Stage 2 265whp WRX, confirming its capability to handle high horsepower builds. It is compatible with various Subaru WRX trims from 2015 to 2018 and offers a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts seeking improved airflow, cooling, and power output. The kit is designed to work seamlessly with Mishimoto’s performance air intake systems and retains the factory fog lights without modifications. Constructed with high-quality aluminum and precision engineering, this intercooler provides an effective cooling solution for your Subaru WRX, ensuring optimal performance during intense driving or racing scenarios.
