Hey guys....my friend just got rid of his newer WRX (idk what year exactly it is but its the style that came after the WRX with the circle head lights....this style has the square headlights)......well he had a front mount intercooler on his car....i know the piping won't fit but i was wondering if i get the intercooler and it fits behind the bumper ok will it work fine? any help would be appreciated....thanks

Its not only if it can fit behind the bumper but look at the endtanks, you will have one pointing down the road, even if you are going to modified it to fit, you can find decent and more efficient intercoolers on ebay around $100

Post a pic or one of another like it. Many intercoolers are universal.

the end tanks are pointing out on each side of the intercooler....one to the left and one to the right


here's a pic of an older WRX but the intercooler is pretty much the same with the end tanks coming out of the sides of the intercooler

Yea it will work, as long as the end tanks come out of the ends. Its pretty much the standard in universal cores.

As long as you can find a way to mount it.

And you might have to ditch the bumper

i wouldn't mind ditching the bumper but does anyone know where i could go to get the intercooler piping made for the FMIC?? Thanks for the help everyone

The best bet is to buy a pipe kit on ebay and try to make your own, or go to a muffler shop and have them make up some piping. It wont be cheap going that route.
