Cobb 2022+ Subaru WRX FMIC Core & Bumper Beam - Silver - 746550-Silver-Core

The most unique aspect of the COBB FMIC is the use of a vertical flow core. The Garrett core comes in a 24" x 8" x 3.5" and flows from bottom to top. Packaging in the car benefits significantly from this core design.

The end tanks are formed sheet aluminum and taper to create even pressure across both sides of the core, maximizing cooling efficiency. Each end tank is finished off with a billet aluminum machined 2.5" inlet/outlet Once assembled, the cores are finished in either black or silver powder coat.

Along either end of the intercooler are COBB's tried and true "Thrust Tunnels". These are structural, holding the core in place and they also help to channel air through the intercooler core and the remainder of the car's cooling stack. The passenger side thrust tunnel includes mounting provisions for the car's Ambient Temperature Sensor. Wrinkle black powder coating keeps this shrouding looking sharp.

A bumper support beam is included with COBB's kit as the factory crash bar does need to be removed for fitment. This support beam is constructed of 1/8" steel plating and1.5" DOM tubing, finished in matte black powder coat. The passenger side features an integrated tow hook mount in the factory location.

Tuning changes are not required to support this intercooler, it can safely be run on the stock Subaru calibration or COBB Off The Shelf (OTS) maps.

This product is not available to buy separately. The cores are included in the Front Mount Intercooler Kits.

Why?

Upgrading the intercooler on your VB WRX can help to both increase airflow and reduce charge air temperatures, leading to higher, more consistent power delivery.
