Description
HKS S-Type AL Intercooler Kit
Product Overview: HKS S-Type AL Intercooler Kit is a charge-air cooling component intended to manage intake-air temperature on forced-induction applications. This listing is structured around the exact HKS product/SKU so shoppers can match the component to the intended vehicle or build without relying on a generic product-family description.
Vehicle Application: 2002-2007 Subaru WRX STI (GDB)
Driver Benefit: Improved charge-air cooling helps control heat soak and supports more repeatable engine performance during sustained boost, repeated pulls, and track use.
Recommended Use: Best suited to turbocharged or supercharged street/track builds where thermal consistency is important.
Technical & Fitment Notes
- Verify compatibility with the vehicle's existing intake, charge piping, engine management, and other forced-induction hardware.
- Power results depend on the complete combination and calibration; no specific power gain should be assumed from the component alone.
- Original catalog note: Note: NOT CARB Legal - This product is not currently CARB exempt and is not available for purchase in California & CARB States or for use on any vehicle registered with the California Department of Motor Vehicles. For Applied model F. Not fit to Spec C, stock option fog lamp, and stock recirculation. Racing Suction Reloaded(70020-AF006) required. Features Front mount intercooler kit with S-type core. (Core size : 600 x 244 x 65) New S-type core was developed only for GDB kit in order to improve response. Because front mount layout usually has a demerit of slow response. Pipe layout is designed as straight and short as possible. It enabled as quick boost response as stock intercooler. When a vehicle is stopped, stock top mount intercooler core keeps heat inside from the engine compartment and then, when the car starts, sometimes knocking occurs. Front mount intercooler decreases intak
Fitment and specifications can vary by HKS part number, model year, trim, transmission, drivetrain, and market. Confirm the SKU and application before ordering, particularly on modified vehicles.
