Looking for a way to reduce high intake temperatures on your stock or modified STI? The solution is the Mishimoto direct-fit top-mount intercooler engineered specifically for the 2008–2014 Subaru WRX STI. Mishimoto engineers spent months designing and testing this new intercooler to ensure optimum performance on both the street and track. This intercooler utilizes durable cast aluminum end tanks TIG-welded to a highly efficient, dense bar-and-plate core. The Mishimoto intercooler has a 3.75” thick core and a total volume of 584 in3. Thanks to this volume and a very dense offset fin pitch, they are able to optimize heat transfer and support vehicles from stock up to 400 whp. This intercooler endured rigorous testing, showing a 10°F temperature drop as well as a +5 whp and +7 wtq bolt-on power increase for their stock test vehicle. Installation is simple, requires no modification to the stock A/C line, and can be completed in under 30 minutes. Included with this intercooler are new Y-pipe gaskets, a new BPV gasket, a silicone PCV hose, and a silicone throttle-body coupler. These components negate the need to gather supplies for installation, and they ensure years of reliable service. This intercooler is available in a durable powder-coated finish of Stealth Black or Sleek Silver, and it includes the Mishimoto Lifetime Warranty.
The Mishimoto TMIC truly stands out as a phenomenal investment, significantly reducing my Intake Air Temperatures (IATs) even beyond its advertised abilities, achieving nearly ambient air temperature while on the highway. Despite the expected heat soak while stationary, it still performs considerably better than the stock STI TMIC, maintaining temperatures 8-12 degrees cooler, making it a highly recommended upgrade for any enthusiast.
This wound up on my wife's 2012 STI, it was purchased for my 2016 STI, but ended up having to go FMIC, because it was making too much power for this to support. Her car makes 420 WHP and this supports it fine.

Kyle,
Thank you for your 5 Star Review as well as your added pics and recommendation of the Mishimoto Top Mount Intercooler! It is great to hear that you have noticed a significant reduction in your intake air temperatures with this massive core and that the TMIC has performed beyond its advertised abilities! It is also helpful to know that the TMIC was able to support your wife's STI with 420 WHP without any issues. Mishimoto is known for producing high-quality and reliable products, and this TMIC is no exception! Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts!
