Product Description

Let’s be real for a second: the factory top-mount intercooler (TMIC) on the 2011-2014 WRX tries its best, but it’s fighting a losing battle. Sitting directly on top of a hot engine block is a recipe for heat soak, especially when you’re stuck in traffic or pushing the car hard on a spirited drive. As that intercooler gets hot, your intake temperatures spike, your ECU pulls timing, and suddenly your car feels sluggish. It’s inconsistent, and frankly, it’s robbing you of the horsepower you paid for.

The COBB Tuning Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) changes the geography of your airflow. By moving the heat exchange to the front bumper, away from the engine's radiant heat, you ensure your turbo is fed a steady diet of dense, cold air. The silver heat-dissipating coating on this massive bar-and-plate core isn't just for looks—it actively helps shed thermal load. Coupled with the wrinkle black piping, you get a setup that looks aggressive but tidy, avoiding that messy "hodge-podge" look of cheaper kits.

You don't just buy COBB for the badge; you buy it for the R&D. This kit solves the notorious Subaru heat soak issue while prepping your build for future tuning (thanks to that pre-welded IAT bung). Whether you are chasing dyno numbers or just want your daily driver to feel snappy every time you hit the gas, this FMIC kit is the reliability mod that doubles as a performance giant. Stop letting heat steal your boost—cool it down with COBB.
