Designed for Subaru enthusiasts who push their vehicles beyond stock power levels, this intercooler addresses the common limitations of the OEM tube-and-fin core, which is undersized and vulnerable to damage during spirited driving or track use. The Overtake TMIC provides a robust, high-capacity solution that fits seamlessly into the stock location without requiring tuning or modifications to the intake manifold, Y-pipe, or bypass valve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt with a focus on durability and thermal efficiency, the Overtake intercooler features a substantially larger all-aluminum bar-and-plate core paired with cast aluminum end tanks that are CNC machined and welded to a soldered, pressure-tested core. The inlet end tank is uniquely shaped to match the OEM Y-pipe’s dual outlet flow path, improving airflow and reducing turbulence compared to the factory design. This engineering approach ensures a leak-tight, high-performance intercooler that maintains cooler intake air temperatures under demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Subaru owners, this upgrade translates into significantly reduced heat soak and more consistent power delivery during back-to-back pulls or extended spirited driving. The thicker core and improved flow dynamics keep intake air temperatures approximately 16°F lower than the stock intercooler under similar conditions, enhancing engine response and reliability. The Overtake TMIC is an ideal choice for WRX, STI, and Forester XT drivers seeking a durable, OEM-compatible intercooler that supports higher boost levels without sacrificing fitment or requiring additional tuning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Overtake Top Mount Intercooler Kit is engineered for 2002-2007 WRX, 2004-2021 STI, and 2004-2008 Forester XT models and features a larger bar-and-plate aluminum core with cast aluminum end tanks. Constructed from high-quality aluminum, it delivers superior thermal capacity and durability for Subaru enthusiasts seeking reliable heat soak reduction and OEM fitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Overtake\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e Top Mount Intercooler Kit Silver 2002-2007 WRX \/ 2004-2021 STI \/ 2004-2008 Forester XT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e A10382SLV\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2002-2007 WRX \/ 2004-2021 STI \/ 2004-2008 Forester XT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Durable Powder Coat Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e CNC Machined Cast End Tanks, Welded \u0026amp; Soldered Bar-and-Plate Core\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not Specified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bar-and-Plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Substantially Larger than OEM Tube-and-Fin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInlet Geometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to Match OEM Y-Pipe Dual Outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutlet Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Funnel-Shaped for Smooth Flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits Stock Location, Y-Pipe, Intake Manifold, and Bypass Valve\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reduces intake air temperatures by approximately 16°F compared to stock, minimizing heat soak and improving power consistency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bar-and-plate core and cast aluminum end tanks resist road debris and damage better than fragile OEM tube-and-fin cores.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct bolt-on replacement that fits OEM mounts, Y-pipe, intake manifold, and bypass valve with no modifications or tuning needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThermal Efficiency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Larger core surface area and optimized internal flow reduce charge air temperatures for improved engine response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuality:\u003c\/strong\u003e CNC machined end tanks and pressure-tested core ensure leak-free, long-lasting performance under demanding conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAesthetics:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean silver powder coat finish enhances underhood appearance while resisting corrosion and wear.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1× Overtake Top Mount Intercooler\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1× Intercooler Inlet Gasket Set\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1× Bypass Valve (BPV) Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1× Straight Fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1× T Fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3× Feet of 1\/2\" Vacuum Hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2× BPV Bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4× Y-Pipe Mounting Bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2× License Plate Frames\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Overtake Top Mount Intercooler Kit installs directly in the factory location using OEM mounting points and bushings, making it a straightforward upgrade for enthusiasts comfortable with basic mechanical work.
