Meticulous Engineering, Unparalleled Craftsmanship

These intercoolers maintain the delicate balance of low pressure drop and high temperature rejection that is vital to safety and performance for a turbocharged Subaru engine. This is the GrimmSpeed Front Mount Intercooler Kit for the 2008-2014 Subaru STI, in GrimmSpeed variant Raw Aluminum / Red (Raw Aluminum Core w/ Red Piping, 090227).

Intercooler core

The core was designed from the ground up with its tested internal and external specifications, with cast aluminum end tanks designed alongside the core for efficient flow; it is designed, welded and tested in Minneapolis, MN. Robust steel mounting brackets keep the unit from shifting even during hard track driving. The 2008-14 kit retains a large core without modifying the chassis or replacing/relocating the washer tank or coolant reservoir; light bumper cutting is necessary to accommodate the core, and a fog light delete is required for 08-10 style bumpers.

Piping specs

• Thick .090in wall, 2.5in diameter 6061 aluminum piping, bead rolled and CNC mandrel bent on a large radius
• Precision pipe routing retains factory components and avoids unnecessary trimming
• Retains factory fog light mounting on 10-14 style bumpers; 08-10 bumpers require fog light modification/delete
• 5-ply silicone couplers, custom molded and reinforced
• Breeze Hi-Torque liner clamps, stainless steel with integrated liner to protect the silicone
• Wrinkle powder coated piping to protect against corrosion
• OEM bypass valve location eases installation and allows most aftermarket BPVs
