ETS 08-14 Subaru STI and WRX Front Mount Intercooler

This front mount puts charge-air cooling in the bumper, using a 26-by-11½-inch core rather than the factory top mount. I'd choose it for higher boost, larger turbos or repeated heat where the top mount struggles to keep temperatures consistent.

The longer charge-air route adds volume and can soften response compared with a compact top mount. Choose thickness for the airflow and heat load. The core is sold without piping; use the matching WRX or STI piping kit for your engine layout.
