What Owners Say

The Mishimoto top mount intercooler draws mixed feedback from WRX and STI enthusiasts. Some owners praise its quality and easier installation compared to alternatives, with Mishimoto's own testing showing 10% better cooling efficiency and 12°F lower outlet temperatures versus stock. However, several tuners and owners question its value proposition, noting the stock intercooler already performs well with intake temps only 10 degrees above ambient. Critics suggest competitors like TurboXS offer better performance at lower price points, with some reporting the Mishimoto actually performs worse than stock. For buyers seeking a top-mount upgrade, the Mishimoto delivers quality construction but may not justify the premium over budget alternatives or stock components.
