Description
The Mishimoto Performance Front-Mount Intercooler Kit (MMINT-WRX-22AISLBK) is a purpose-built forced induction upgrade engineered specifically for the 2022+ Subaru WRX. Built around a massive bar-and-plate core, CFD-optimized cast end tanks, and high-flow, ID-matched pipes, this kit is designed to replace the factory intercooler with a system tuned for real dyno-proven results: gains of 12 hp and 11.8 lb-ft of torque on a stock tune.
As one of the more demanding components in any induction system, the intercooler determines how consistently your engine can make power run after run. Mishimoto’s forced induction system relocates the core to the lower bumper grille for maximum airflow, and the 4-inch thick core combined with ID-matched pipes produces just a 1.5 PSI pressure drop, meaning less boost is wasted before it reaches the engine. For drivers pursuing performance induction upgrades on the street, track, or dragstrip, this intercooler is built to keep pace with aggressive forced induction turbo setups while remaining safe on stock tuning. The kit also includes the Mishimoto Performance intake for maximum airflow, pairing the induction system upgrade with a complete, easy-to-install package.
