Product Description

The Mishimoto MMTMIC-WRX-15XGD Street Performance Top-Mount Intercooler Kit is a high-efficiency cooling upgrade designed specifically for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX (FA20DIT, AWD) and also fits 2014-2018 Subaru Forester XT 2.0XT. Built with a robust bar-and-plate aluminum core and fully cast end tanks, this intercooler significantly increases core volume and fin surface area compared to the factory unit - resulting in up to ~34 °F lower outlet temperatures and ~12 % greater airflow under load. 

Finished in an eye-catching gold powder coat, the MMTMIC-WRX-15XGD installs directly in the OEM mounting locations with minimal modification, making it ideal for both stock and moderately tuned setups (up to Stage 2 maps). Included with the intercooler are engine cover adapters, a silicone throttle-body coupler, and worm-gear clamps for secure installation. Backed by Mishimoto's Lifetime Warranty, this intercooler delivers improved charge-air cooling, better throttle response, and enhanced performance consistency on daily drives, spirited street use, or track applications.
