Mishimoto Front-Mount Intercooler — WRX 2015+
Verified fit
2015–2021 Subaru WRX · 2018–2021 Subaru WRX STI
Description
Mishimoto's WRX FMIC moves the intercooler from the top-mount position (where the OE TMIC heat-soaks in 8 minutes of city driving) to the front bumper, where ambient airflow keeps charge-air temps in check on stock and Stage 2 tunes.
Ships with the full 2.5" charge piping kit (cold + hot side, silicone couplers, T-bolt clamps). No hood scoop modification required. Cuts a small section of the bumper crash-bar — template included.
