This kit replaces the factory top-mount intercooler, which was originally engineered for stock power levels and features a tube-and-fin core that is prone to damage and limited in cooling capacity. The Overtake intercooler addresses these shortcomings with a larger, more robust bar-and-plate core and cast aluminum end tanks, delivering improved thermal efficiency and durability for Subaru enthusiasts seeking enhanced performance without requiring a tune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered with precision, the Overtake intercooler utilizes a dual splitter design that maximizes the hood scoop’s airflow, capturing the full opening that the OEM intercooler leaves unused. The bar-and-plate construction offers superior heat dissipation compared to the factory tube-and-fin design, while the larger outlet end tank and simplified straight coupler improve throttle response and ease of installation. Every component is CNC machined or bent and assembled with rivets to ensure rigidity and leak-tight performance, reflecting Overtake’s commitment to quality and fitment tailored to Subaru platforms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor WRX and Forester XT owners, this intercooler upgrade means significantly lower intake air temperatures—approximately 15°F cooler at peak compared to stock—resulting in reduced heat soak and more consistent power delivery during spirited driving or track use. The kit fits stock charge pipes and intake manifolds, making it a practical bolt-on upgrade that enhances both reliability and performance while maintaining factory mounting points and OEM-style installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFeatures \u0026amp; Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Overtake Top Mount Intercooler Kit is engineered for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX and 2014-2018 Forester XT, featuring a substantially larger bar-and-plate core and cast aluminum end tanks.
