GrimmSpeed Front Mount Intercooler Core Black 08-14 Subaru STI | 090259

Product Fitment: 

2008-2014 Subaru STI

*Core only. Piping kit sold separately. 

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 2008-14 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).
