Swap out your overheated factory top mount intercooler for the PERRIN Front Mount Intercooler to get the most out of your turbocharged STI or WRX. Add power and a new bold look all in one!
Intercooler Core
The most important part of any intercooler system is the core. The core cools the charge air on the way to the engine. The factory Subaru tube and fin intercooler was designed to be easy to manufacture, but is not good for performance. PERRINS testing has shown the optimum core design is the 3/8” bar and plate style that has a 3/8” charge air and ambient air path, instead of the common 1/4” size. The PERRIN bar and plate core design is much more durable than tube and fin with the ability to withstand rocks and other debris that may be flying around the road. The PERRIN intercooler core is 28” long x 9.25” tall x 3.5” deep with a volume of 906.5 cu-in. Giving the PERRIN intercooler the best overall design for cooling and pressure drop.
Intercooler Support Beams
PERRINS intercooler support beam is constructed from boxed steel and powder coated black. Competitors use inexpensive aluminum bumper beams which save a little weight but are easily destroyed in a collision.
Cast End Tanks
The PERRIN Performance designed end tanks control for near perfect dispersal of hot air across the intercooler core. By eliminating any 90º corners adding a smooth, and gradual taper from top to bottom turbulence is eliminated. Each end tank incorporates an innovative mounting tab to secure the core to the mounting beam.
Pressure Testing
PERRIN is one of the only intercooler manufacturers who pressure test every intercooler. PERRIN pressurizes every intercooler to 50PSI, ensuring you never get a core with a leak. Even the slightest leak can result in your vehicle losing power, literally bleeding turbo boost pressure out of the intercooler.
Finish
Every PERRIN intercooler is powder coated to further protect your intercooler from the elements making it look awesome for years to come. Their intercoolers come in two finish options, a bright silver or stealth black powder coat.
