Swap out your overheated factory top mount intercooler for the PERRIN Front Mount Intercooler to get the most out of your turbocharged WRX or STI. Add power and a new bold look all in one. 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. 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, and it fills the opening of the WRX/STI bumper perfectly! 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. Every PERRIN intercooler is powder coated to further protect your intercooler from the elements making it look awesome for years to come.

The PERRIN Performance designed end tanks control for near perfect dispersal of hot air across the intercooler core. By eliminating any 90? 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. PERRIN boost tubes are CNC mandrel bent from aluminum tubing for better weight reduction. Every boost tube has an over sized beaded end to ensure the hose clamps and couplers stay connected and sealed! We choose to take the smoothest shortest path to get air to and from the intercooler. Right off the turbo a smooth offset coupler carries the hot side air charge to a perfectly matched 2.25? boost tube. We chose 2.25" tubing for a smoother, cleaner, obstruction free routing while still being large enough to flow more WHP than most turbos can put out. The air charge then is routed through the engine bay next to the battery, and down behind the radiator to the intercooler. The cold side boost tubes are mounted as high as possible in the engine compartment to clear all turbo and intake combinations as it travels to the throttle body through the engine bay.

PERRIN Performance T-bolt clamps are standard on PERRIN intercoolers. They are designed for uniform clamping at all points around the band. The wider band distributes the force over a larger area and the fine threaded bolts with nylon lock nuts allow for accurate torque and proper clamping. Never worry about having to re-tighten down the road, plus each PERRIN logo-ed clamp is made in the USA and has the torque spec engraved on each one. Advantage PERRIN! The PERRIN front mount intercooler kit includes a PERRIN Performance coolant overflow tank. It adds clearance for better boost tube routing, holds more coolant than previous designs and uses the OEM tank cap for a great seal! The PERRIN Performance coolant overflow tank is protected from the elements by a black texture powder coating. It looks great and makes the silk screened logo pop. PERRIN Performance is one of the only intercooler manufactures who pressure tests every intercooler. We pressurize every intercooler to 50 psi. on our special jigs.This ensures you never get a core with a leak! Even the slightest leak can cause your vehicle to loose power, literally bleeding turbo boost pressure out the intercooler. The PERRIN front mount intercooler kit only adds 9lbs of weight! If you take all the factory pieces you remove and compare them to the PERRIN parts you are installing, you will find you only added 9lbs!

SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT SUSPENSION & EMISSIONS RELATED PRODUCTS:
Many modifications (and combinations of modifications) are not recommended and may NOT be permitted in your country, state or other form of local government. Consult your owner's manual, instructions for each product and all laws before undertaking these modifications. The owner and user are solely responsible for the legality and safety of the vehicle you modify using these components! ALTA and PERRIN Performance are not responsible for any physical or financial damages as result of proper or improper installation, usage or ownership of this product. Use of suspension products will result in a change in the handling characteristics of your vehicle. As with ANY vehicle, extreme care must be taken to prevent loss of control or roll-over during all driving maneuvers. Always wear seat belts, and drive safely, recognizing that reduced speeds and specialized driving techniques may be required. Failure to drive this vehicle safely may result in serious injury or death! Once installed do NOT drive the vehicle unless you are familiar with its unique handling characteristic and confident in your ability to maintain control under all driving conditions.

All engine and exhaust components (Including but not limited to the following: turbo systems, ECU Tuning, exhaust pipes, intake systems, supercharger pulleys, intercoolers etc.) have been designed and intended for off-road applications only. These components are legal in California for racing vehicles only, which may never be used on public roads or highways. Federal and many state laws prohibit the removal, modification or rendering inoperable of any device or element of design affecting vehicle emission or safety in a vehicle used on public highways. Violation of such laws may subject the owner or user to a fine or penalty. Check your local and federal laws prior to installation! Installation of performance products may void vehicle warranty coverage, if any, on your vehicle. Vehicles modified by the use of performance parts may no longer be lawfully used on public highways. Re-sellers, installers and end users assume all costs and risk associated with these items. ASMC LTD. is not responsible for any losses incurred from the use of any and all products sold.

SPECIAL NOTES ABOUT EXHAUST RELATED PRODUCTS.
We will not warranty any exhaust part that either fails or has warped flanges due to header wrap being installed. While header wrap protects the engine from heat as well as provides some performance benefits, it greatly reduces the life of any stainless steel part. Header wrap greatly increases the rate of corrosion, added to that the actual temperature of the metal is much hotter, reducing its lifespan even further. Operation of vehicle without installation of splash guard will void warranty.

We will not warranty any flanges that are warped away from the weld if any aftermarket gaskets are used. Only OEM Subaru / Toyota gaskets are to be used on PERRIN Exhaust parts, with the exception of downpipes for turbo kits. Subaru / Toyota provides the proper crush gasket that still becomes flat when tightened (or over tightened) in comparison to aftermarket gaskets which can have a crush ring that is too thick, causing a hot-spot in the middle of the flange. These will warp the flanges of your PERRIN exhaust, causing a permanent exhaust leak that will not be fixable with a new gasket.
