Meticulous Engineering, Unparalleled Craftsmanship

GrimmSpeed Intercoolers have set the gold standard for how a high performance heat exchanger should be crafted. Our intercoolers have always maintained the delicate balance of low pressure drop and high temperature rejection, which is vital to safety and performance for your turbocharged Subaru engine. How can we possibly improve upon what is already touted as the best   The answer is exactly what enthusiasts have been anticipating for years: Introducing the GrimmSpeed 08-14 WRX Front Mount Intercooler Kits! 

Quick Specs

  • 27”x11”x4" Cross Flow Core – Durable Bar and Plate Construction, balanced perfectly between pressure drop and heat rejection
  • Cast Aluminum End Tanks – Designed for equal flow distribution and minimum pressure drop
  • Steel Bolt-on Mounting Brackets – Robust mounting solution to minimize movement and maximize adjustability
  • No Permanent Chassis Modification – Light bumper cutting will be necessary to fit the large core (fog light delete required for 08-10 style bumper) 
  • Compatible with Factory or GrimmSpeed Intake – Removal of snorkel required; GrimmSpeed Intake recommended for maximum performance
  • Pressure Tested – Cleaned, sealed and guaranteed to work prior to delivery
  • Available in Raw Aluminum or Satin Black Powder Coat – Uncoated or resilient powder coat finish to protect against rock chips
  • High Quality, Pre-applied GrimmSpeed Vinyl Decal – Show your pride for the BEST front mount intercooler on the market, or easily peel it off
  • No Tune Required – No change in maximum boost or time to spool so it's safe to install and drive
  • Welded and Inspected by Hand in Minneapolis, MN - For consistency and top quality control

The core is the most important aspect of the intercooler. It’s difficult to design the most efficient core possible: get it right and you have phenomenal results, get it wrong and you end up with an expensive paperweight. We were able to channel over a decade of intercooler production knowledge into creating a totally custom design from the ground up with our tested internal and external specifications to maximize the performance and deliver the best cooling option on the market. The beautiful cast aluminum end tanks were carefully designed alongside the core for the most efficient and optimal flow characteristics for all driving situations. The result of our hard work is an intercooler designed, welded and tested right here in Minneapolis, MN by a team of skilled engineers and welders with extremely minimal pressure drop and extraordinary heat rejection.

Along with amazing performance, perfect vehicle fitment and mounting are essential. We designed robust steel mounting brackets that will keep the unit from shifting around even during hard track driving. We learned from other manufacturer’s shortcomings and improved upon them. Unlike other kits, our 08-14 front mount intercoolers retain a HUGE core, but do not require modifying the chassis or replacing/relocating the washer tank or coolant reservoir in order for the piping to fit (light bumper cutting will be necessary to accommodate the large core and a fog light delete is required for 08-10 style bumpers, see install video below).  

INTERCOOLER PIPING

-

An impressive core like the one we’ve designed means nothing without a complimentary, properly-engineered piping kit. GrimmSpeed kits are comprised of thick aluminum tubing, precisely machine-bent with large radius bends for maximum flow and perfect fitment every time. The pipes are bead rolled at each end to lock together with the included 5-ply silicone couplers so you don’t have to worry about blow-offs under high boost. They are then covered in gorgeous, durable red or black wrinkle powder coat finish that looks incredible and matches your other GrimmSpeed parts!

PIPING SPECS

  • Thick .090” Wall, 2.5” Diameter 6061 Aluminum Piping – Beadrolled and CNC mandrel bent on a large radius for max flow; lightweight and heat dispersant
  • Precision Pipe Routing - Retain factory components and avoid unnecessary trimming
  • Retains Factory Fog Light Mounting on 10-14 Style Bumpers - 08-10 bumpers will require fog light modification/delete
  • 5-ply Silicone Couplers – Custom molded and reinforced to last through demanding environments
  • Breeze Hi-Torque Liner Clamps – Stainless steel for lasting looks and grip with integrated liner to prevent damage to silicone
  • Durable Red or Black Wrinkle Powder Coat – Keeps pipes protected against corrosion while looking great. A perfect match to your other GrimmSpeed parts!
  • OEM Bypass Valve Location – Eases installation and allows for use of most aftermarket BPVs

BUMPER BAR

As with other FMIC kits, the GrimmSpeed Front Mount Intercooler requires the removal of your factory bumper beam in order to fit its massive core. The factory bumper beam aids in chassis rigidity and adds reinforcement to your factory bumper cover. To help keep chassis deflection at bay and to keep any large dents out of your front fascia we’re offering the GrimmSpeed Bumper Bar as an optional add-on. Our bumper bar is constructed of thick mild steel, welded to robust mounting plates that are machined for weight savings. The entire bumper bar is covered in a durable black powder coat for good looks and longevity!

BUMPER BAR SPECS

  • Thick .125” Wall, 1.375” Diameter DOM Mild Steel – Designed and built tough to outlast your vehicle
  • Robust .375” Mounting Plates – Thick for strength, skeletoned for weight savings
  • Reduces Chassis Deflection – Maintains chassis rigidity vs not running a bumper beam [bar not intended to be a substitute for the OEM crash protection]
  • Wrinkle Black Coating – Durable powder coat for a stealthy look

Great quality Cabin and air filter bundle pack. Very solid quality.
Size: 18-22 1.5L, Size: 18-22 1.5L
First off, I like that it's a combo pack instead of me having to buy each one individually and being able to change both at the same time. Now, I must say the quality of both of them is fantastic; I'm really impressed. It's not made out of cheap junk; it feels solid and seems like it will do a good job filtering out all the debris and dirt. It was extremely easy to install and fit perfectly like an OEM air filter and cabin air filter on my Honda Accord. The cabin air filter is definitely a solid piece, and you don't have to worry about it getting crushed or deforming as it's padded, I would assume the reason for the padding on the side of the cabin air filter is that no debris or dust sneaks through which gives it a snug fit which is very smart honestly. The same applies to the air filter that goes under the hood; it definitely feels like a quality piece. A quality filter definitely keeps outside odors and smells from coming inside the cabin, allowing you to get fresh, clean air when you turn your AC on. Overall, definitely a solid purchase, and I will definitely be back to buy this exact bundle pack in the future as it's well-built and fits like a glove. So, you're definitely getting great value for your money with this specific engine and cabin air filter combo pack. There are a lot of garbage ones out there, so if it were flimsy and felt like a cheap filter, I would be giving this one or two stars. But I'm actually quite impressed with this company, and it seems to be doing a fine job. My AC does work better after installing these new filters, and of course, the car runs better with the air filter installed.

Good Fit & Quality
Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid, Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid
This set which includes both the engine and cabit air filters are of good quality and fits my 2020 Honda Accord Hybrid well. The engine filter feels sturdy and well built. The cabin filter, although without charcoal infusion, has many folds which is more important when it comes to effective filtering of particles. The installation was easy and for the set, this set offers a good value.

Perfect fit!
Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid, Size: 14-22 2.0L hybrid
This is a good value for a combo package which includes a cabin air filter as well as the engine air filter. Both filters were a perfect fit in my 2019 Honda Accord hybrid. The cabin air filter airflow direction is clearly labeled and the pleats are sturdy. Installation was super easy- just drop the glove box cover, pop the cabin filter cover plate, pull out the grungy old filter and pop in the new one. Easy peasy. The engine air filter is also a perfect fit. No complaints or concerns here.

K&N Filters are worth their cost in Filtration and Longevity!
Size: 8.3" x 8.4" x 0.6"
Tight fit, never needs replacement, only cleaning and reoiling. It has taken many miles to allow flow to resume after oiling for initial installation. Cold air intakes on numerous vehicles! I Love K&N filters for better filtartion and eventually cost savings!
