Product Description

The Mishimoto MMTMIC-WRX-01SLBL Top-Mount Intercooler Kit is a direct-fit upgrade for 2002-2007 Subaru Impreza WRX and WRX STI, as well as select Saab 9-2X Aero models. Designed to improve intercooler efficiency over the stock unit, it features a dense bar-and-plate aluminum core with a unique single-inlet design that enhances airflow distribution and cooling. Compared to the OEM intercooler, this unit helps lower intake air temperatures under boost - translating to more consistent power delivery and better performance during spirited driving. 

Finished with a silver core and matched with premium blue silicone hoses and T-bolt clamps, the MMTMIC-WRX-01SLBL installs directly into the factory mounting locations without cutting or trimming. The included silicone bypass valve gasket, PCV fittings, and nylon hose connectors ensure a complete installation with reliable sealing. Capable of supporting stock to moderately modified turbo applications (up to ~350 hp), this intercooler is backed by Mishimoto's Lifetime Warranty for long-lasting performance and durability. Whether you're building a daily driver or weekend rally car, it's a solid thermal upgrade for early Subaru turbo platforms.
