Mishimoto Top-Mount Intercooler | 2017 WRX

[@MrCliffWorks]

This thing is keeping my charged air nice and cool so far. I'll check back in after a few hot days.

[@MrCliffWorks]

It was 87 today. While I was moving on the highway, the intake temps stayed within 4-5 degrees of ambient (outside) temps. Intake temps go up when stationary, but cool quickly when moving in stop-and-go traffic. I'll do a video of a typical Summer commute, with the camera on the intake temperature.

what's the name of that bracket you used on the right side

[@MrCliffWorks]

Hey, Arnoldo. Which bracket? Can you tell me the time on the video where you see it and where it is on the screen or where it is attached?

[@arnoldoixmata3449]

at minute 2:57 there I saw that you were teaching it

[@MrCliffWorks]

@@arnoldoixmata3449 that bracket came with the intercooler. It holds the new intercooler to the mounting point from the factory. It was tricky. I had to have someone hold the bracket from the top while I attached the nut and tightened it from under the car. It's holding just fine.

[@arnoldoixmata3449]

@@MrCliffWorks I understand and what bracket recommends me to put it there is that I bought an Intercooler just like it appears in the video

[@MrCliffWorks]

@@arnoldoixmata3449 It will do a great job cooling your charged air. Here is the manufacturer's install video. It has more detail since I lost some of my video footage. If you haven't already, talk to a tuner about recommended engine maps for you car. Good luck! www.mishimoto.com/mmtmic-wrx-15-install-video.html

Installed one on my 17 WRX. Wondering if you noticed any sound changes to your exhaust? I think I have an exhaust issue that presented itself right after installing, so I am trying to make sure it isn't expected with a new TmI install.

[@MrCliffWorks]

I installed a new J-Pipe and midpipe at the same time, so I wouldn't notice. It should only affect intake temperature. You must have had an issue waiting to manifest at the wrong time.
