Overview
The Perrin Front Mount Intercooler (FMIC) with Boost Tube Piping Kit is a purpose-built upgrade for 2008-2014 Subaru WRX owners seeking to enhance their vehicle’s power potential and thermal efficiency. This kit replaces the factory top-mount intercooler with a large front-mount core and precision-mandrel bent piping, designed to significantly reduce intake air temperatures and eliminate heat soak during spirited driving or track use. It’s ideal for enthusiasts running stock turbo setups or upgraded forced induction systems aiming for consistent, reliable performance under high boost conditions.
Engineered with a focus on maximizing airflow and cooling capacity, the Perrin FMIC features a massive 28" x 9.25" x 3.5" core that is pressure tested to 50 PSI to ensure durability and leak-free operation. The mandrel-bent aluminum boost tubes minimize turbulence and maintain high velocity airflow, supporting efficient combustion and power delivery. The kit includes a robust intercooler support beam made from boxed steel with a powder-coated finish, reflecting Perrin’s commitment to quality and longevity.
For Subaru WRX enthusiasts, this front mount intercooler kit delivers tangible benefits such as lower intake air temperatures, improved throttle response, and the ability to safely run higher boost levels without the risk of heat-related power loss. Its direct-fit design and included hardware make installation straightforward, while the durable powder-coated finish ensures the kit maintains a clean, aggressive look in the engine bay. Whether building a stage 2 setup or a fully built high horsepower WRX, this Perrin FMIC kit is engineered to support your performance goals without requiring additional tuning.
