50 State Legal - This part is legal for sale and use on Emissions Controlled Vehicles in all 50 states when used in accordance with the manufacturer's application guide because it has a California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Order (EO) number:
- Intercooler Kit Only - D-660-219 / D-660-259
- Intercooler with Redline Intake Package: D-660-266
Specs & Features
- Vertical Flow Technology: Utilizes a premium 24" x 8" x 3.5" Garrett Core that flows air from bottom to top (Vertical) rather than side to side, drastically optimizing packaging and cooling efficiency.
- Short-Path Piping: The 2.5" Mandrel-Bent Piping tucks neatly behind the passenger bumper, creating a super-short route from turbo to throttle body for snappy response.
- Solid Foundation: Includes a heavy-duty Replacement Crash Bar (1/8" steel & 1.5" DOM tubing) that retains the factory Tow Hook location—safety and utility remain intact.
- Redline Carbon Fiber (Package Option): The Full Package adds the Redline Power Scoop, crafted from gorgeous 2x2 Twill Carbon Fiber, and the Aluminum Intake Tube for a complete air management overhaul.
- Plug-and-Play Power: Engineered to increase efficiency so well that it runs safely on the Stock Calibration or COBB OTS Maps without custom tuning.
Product Description
The VB WRX is a fantastic platform, but the factory top-mount intercooler is a heat-soak magnet. Traditional Front Mount Intercoolers (FMIC) solve the heat issue but often introduce "lag" because of the long piping required to route air across the front of the car. COBB Tuning solved this engineering dilemma with a clever twist: Vertical Flow.
Instead of forcing air horizontally across a long core, this system uses a Garrett Core that flows vertically (bottom to top). This design allows for end tanks that taper to create even pressure distribution. More importantly, it allows the piping to take a shortcut behind the passenger bumper. By shortening the physical distance the air has to travel, COBB achieves the cooling capacity of a race core with the throttle response of a stock car.
Choose Your Setup - This system is designed as a holistic upgrade. Because of the unique packaging that makes the short piping possible, the intercooler MUST be installed with the COBB Intake Tube and Redline Power Scoop.
-
Front Mount Intercooler Kit: Ideal for owners who already have the COBB Redline Intake components. It includes the core, piping, replacement crash bar, and "Thrust Tunnel" shrouding.
-
Full Redline Package: The ultimate overhaul. This includes the FMIC kit plus the Redline Carbon Fiber Power Scoop, Aluminum Intake Tube, and High Flow Filter. The carbon scoop replaces the restrictive front half of the factory airbox, feeding cold air directly into the system while looking incredible under the hood.
This isn't just a race part; it's a street-legal system. The kit includes a robust Replacement Crash Bar finished in matte black powder coat to keep the front end rigid. Uniquely, it retains the Factory Tow Hook location—a detail many aftermarket kits ignore. Because the intake tube utilizes the rear section of the factory airbox (retaining the hydrocarbon trap), the car remains fully emissions compliant.
This is the smartest cooling upgrade for the FA24 engine. It maximizes airflow, minimizes piping length, and keeps the car legal. Whether commuting in traffic or attacking a canyon road, the COBB Vertical Flow FMIC keeps the WRX running at its peak potential without fading after one pull. Upgrade the lungs of your WRX with COBB.
