Cobb 08-14 Subaru WRX STI Front Mount Intercooler Hot Pipes
The Cobb Front Mount Intercooler Hot Pipes replace restrictive stock pipes on 2008-2014 Subaru WRX STI models, delivering smooth airflow from turbocharger to front-mount intercooler. Mandrel-bent 2.5-inch aluminum construction reduces turbulence and pressure drop for consistent boost response. This upgrade supports higher power levels with lower intake air temperatures during extended pulls.
Key Features
- Mandrel-Bent Design: 2.5-inch diameter T6 6061 aluminum tubing ensures laminar flow without crimps or bends that restrict boost.
- Black Powdercoat Finish: Provides corrosion resistance and heat dissipation for long-term durability in engine bay conditions.
- Laser-Etched Branding: Authentic Cobb logo adds precision manufacturing detail visible under the hood.
- Direct Bolt-On Fit: Connects seamlessly to Cobb FMIC, SF Intake, and OEM turbo outlet using factory couplers and clamps.
- Lightweight Construction: At 4.95 lbs, reduces underhood weight while handling 400+ whp applications.
Product Notes
- Designed exclusively for vehicles with front-mount intercooler upgrades; not compatible with stock top-mount setup.
- Inspect couplers and clamps during installation for wear to maintain peak performance.
- Ships fully assembled handle with care to protect powdercoat finish.
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Remove stock hot pipes by loosening clamps at turbo outlet and intercooler inlet; no cutting required.
- Reuses OEM silicone couplers and T-bolt clamps; torque to 4-6 Nm for secure fit.
