Description
The Mishimoto Performance Front-Mount Intercooler Kit (MMINT-WRX-22AIBKRD) is a specific-fit forced induction upgrade engineered for the 2022+ Subaru WRX. Built around a massive bar-and-plate core with CFD-optimized cast end tanks and ID-matched pipes, this black-core, red-pipe kit is dyno-proven to add up to 12 hp and 11.8 lb-ft of torque on the stock tune while pulling outlet temperatures to within 10 degrees of ambient air temp.
As a forced induction system upgrade, this intercooler kit relocates the core to the lower bumper grille for maximum airflow, replacing the factory unit that is prone to heat soak. The 4-inch thick core protects against heat soak and detonation, while the ID-matched pipes and 2.4-inch inlet/outlet diameters keep pressure drop low at 1.5 PSI so more of the turbo’s boost reaches the engine instead of being wasted. As a complete induction system, the kit also includes a Mishimoto Performance intake for maximum airflow, making it a strong choice for anyone building a WRX for the street, dragstrip, or track who wants a proven performance induction solution without sacrificing daily drivability.
