Grimmspeed Cold Air Intake Subaru Red – 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy GT

GrimmSpeed Cold Air Intake (Red) , 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy GT

The GrimmSpeed Cold Air Intake in red for the 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy GT replaces the factory airbox and intake tract with a free-flowing system that draws cooler, denser air from a lower position in the engine bay. The GrimmSpeed CAI uses a larger air filter element, less restrictive tubing, and positions the filter away from direct engine heat for improved intake air temperature.

DETAILS

• Color: Red intake pipe
• Relocates filter to cooler engine bay position
• Larger filter element than OEM airbox
• Less restrictive flow path than stock
• Fits: 2005-2009 Subaru Legacy GT

The factory intake system on the EJ255 platform prioritizes sound suppression and emissions compliance over performance. The restrictive airbox and intake tract create a pressure drop before the turbocharger inlet that limits the air mass the engine can draw. Moving the filter to a lower, cooler position reduces intake air temperature , denser air means more oxygen per cubic foot, which the engine and ECU can use to produce more power.

GrimmSpeed’s intake tubing is designed for direct bolt-on installation with no sensor relocation required. The MAF sensor installs in its factory position within the intake pipe , no calibration changes are needed on most applications. The open element filter is serviceable and reusable.
