Perrin Front Mount Intercooler Core & Beam (15-21 WRX/STI)

A key to making more power on any turbocharged engine is the addition of a high performance air-to-air intercooler. This part in the simplest of terms, cools the air going from the turbo into your engine, much the same as a radiator cools the water inside the engine, by transferring the excess heat way using multiple passages through a core. A PERRIN intercooler fits easily to the front of your Subaru to maximize cooling.

Intercooler Core

The most important part of any intercooler system is the core. The core cools the charged 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. 

Our 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, which may enter the scoop. 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

Our 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.

Finish

Every PERRIN intercooler is powder coated to further protect your intercooler from the elements making it look awesome for years to come. Our intercoolers come in two finish options, a bright silver or stealth black powder coat.

Cast End Tanks

The Perrin design end tanks control for near perfect dispersal of hot air across the intercooler core. By eliminating any 90 degree corners adding a smooth, and gradual tpaer from top to bottom turbulence is eliminated. Each end tank incorporates an innovatice mounting tabe to secure the core to the mounting beam.

Pressure Testing 

Perrin is one of the only intercooler manufactures who pressure tests every intercooler. We pressurize every intercooler to 50 psi on out special jigs. This ensures you never get a core with a leak! Even the slightest leak can cause your vehicle to lose power, literally bleeding turbo boost pressure out the intercooler.
