GrimmSpeed Red Piping Front Mount Black Coated Intercooler Kit
$1749.00

If you're serious about getting the most out of your 2015-2021 Subaru WRX, you’ve probably heard of GrimmSpeed Intercoolers. They’re not just another shiny part; they set the bar for what a high-performance heat exchanger should be. These intercoolers are built with a keen eye on that all-important balance between low pressure drop and high heat rejection—two critical factors that can make or break your turbocharged engine's performance.

Now, let’s talk about the new GrimmSpeed Front Mount Intercooler Kit. This isn’t just a tweak on an old design; it’s a fresh take that enthusiasts have been waiting for. The heart of the intercooler is the core, and we’ve spent over a decade perfecting ours. The result? A custom design that maximizes performance while keeping efficiency in check. We’ve got a durable 27"x11"x4" cross-flow core that’s engineered to handle serious heat without choking your power. Seriously, you’ll notice the difference.

The end tanks are made from cast aluminum, designed specifically to ensure equal flow distribution and minimal pressure drop. This means you get the best cooling possible without sacrificing performance. Plus, we’ve crafted robust steel mounting brackets that hold everything in place, even when you’re pushing your WRX to the limit on the track.

What’s cool is that you won’t have to worry about cutting up your car. Sure, there’s a bit of light bumper trimming needed, especially if you’re dealing with the 08-10 style bumper (fog light delete required), but you won’t have to relocate or swap out any major components like the washer tank or coolant reservoir. Keep it simple, right?

And let’s not forget about the piping. We’re talking thick .090” wall, 2.5” diameter 6061 aluminum tubing, all bead rolled and CNC mandrel bent for that perfect flow and fit. These pipes are built to last, with 5-ply silicone couplers that lock everything down tight. No more worrying about blow-offs under high boost. Plus, they come in a sleek red or black wrinkle powder coat finish that not only looks great but also protects against corrosion.

Here’s a quick rundown of what you’re getting:
  • 27"x11"x4" Cross Flow Core - Perfectly balanced for pressure drop and heat rejection.
  • Cast Aluminum End Tanks - Designed for optimal flow and minimal drop.
  • Steel Bolt-on Mounting Brackets - Keep your intercooler steady during hard driving.
  • No Permanent Chassis Modification - Just light trimming needed for the big core.
  • Compatible with Factory or GrimmSpeed Intake - Just remove the snorkel for max performance.
  • Pressure Tested - Cleaned and sealed before it even gets to you.
  • Available in Raw Aluminum or Satin Black Powder Coat - Choose what fits your style.
  • GrimmSpeed Vinyl Decal - Show off your pride or peel it off if you prefer.
  • No Tune Required - Safe to install and drive without changing boost levels.
  • Welded and Inspected by Hand in the USA - Quality you can trust.
Piping Features:
  • Thick .090" Wall, 2.5" Diameter 6061 Aluminum Piping - Lightweight and efficient.
  • Precision Pipe Routing - Keep your factory components intact.
  • Retains Factory Fog Light Mounting on 10-14 Style Bumpers - Just a minor tweak for others.
  • 5-ply Silicone Couplers - Built for durability in tough conditions.
  • Breeze Hi-Torque Liner Clamps - Stainless steel for a secure grip.
  • Durable Red or Black Wrinkle Powder Coat - Looks good while keeping corrosion at bay.
  • OEM Bypass Valve Location - Easy installation with most aftermarket BPVs.
Fitments:
  • Subaru WRX 2015-2021

So, if you're ready to take your WRX to the next level, the GrimmSpeed Front Mount Intercooler Kit is where you want to start. It’s designed to fit like a glove and perform even better. Get ready to feel the difference!
