Product Description

The Mishimoto MMTS-WRX-01 Low Temperature Racing Thermostat is engineered to replace the factory thermostat in Subaru WRX and WRX STI models, providing earlier coolant circulation by opening at a lower activation temperature (~154.4 °F) compared to the stock thermostat (~172.4 °F). This allows the coolant to flow through the engine sooner, helping reduce and maintain lower operating temperatures during spirited driving, turbocharged usage, or heavy load conditions.

This direct-fit thermostat installs into the existing thermostat housing without modification and is ideal for performance builds and daily drivers alike seeking improved cooling performance. While primarily designed for 2001-2014 WRX and 2001-2021 STI models, it may also fit other Subaru applications when compatible with the engine and chassis. The MMTS-WRX-01 is backed by a Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty for long-term peace of mind.
