Description
Upgrade your Subaru's charge-air piping with the COBB Tuning Front-Mount Intercooler (FMIC) Cold Pipe Kit, designed for compatible Subaru WRX and WRX STI applications. The cold-side pipe carries cooled, compressed air from the intercooler toward the engine's intake manifold, making it an important component of a turbocharged vehicle's charge-air system.
For Subaru enthusiasts upgrading their intercooler or building a performance-focused setup, the COBB Tuning Cold Pipe Kit provides a dedicated piping solution for compatible front-mount intercooler configurations. Properly matched charge piping helps connect the intercooler to the engine's intake system and supports reliable airflow through the turbocharger's charge-air path.
This kit is intended for builds using a compatible front-mount intercooler setup. It can complement other turbocharger and intercooler upgrades, but correct fitment depends on the vehicle's generation, engine configuration, intercooler core, and existing piping arrangement.
Before ordering, confirm the exact model-year compatibility and whether this kit is designed for your specific WRX or STI chassis. Also verify which couplers, clamps, and mounting components are included, as the cold pipe kit may not constitute a complete front-mount intercooler system.

Fitment Note: The product title lists a broad year range. Subaru WRX and STI charge-air piping varies between generations and engine configurations. Confirm the exact year, model, chassis, intercooler core, and kit part number with COBB Tuning before ordering. Do not assume one kit fits every vehicle within the listed range.
Important Installation & Compatibility Notes
- Confirm that the cold pipe matches your specific front-mount intercooler core and hot-side piping.
- Additional couplers, clamps, or installation hardware may be required depending on the kit and vehicle setup.
- Check clearance with the radiator, fans, bumper, and other engine bay components.
- Inspect all connections for leaks after installation.
- A cold pipe kit alone does not guarantee horsepower gains; results depend on the complete intake, intercooler, turbocharger, and tuning setup.
