GrimmSpeed Front Mount Intercooler Kit Black Core w/ Red Piping – Subaru STI 2015 – 2020

GrimmSpeed Front Mount Intercooler Kit (Black Core / Red Piping) , Subaru WRX / STI

The GrimmSpeed Front Mount Intercooler Kit with black core and red piping for the Subaru WRX / STI relocates charge air cooling to a front mount position in front of the radiator. Removing the intercooler from the heat-saturated engine bay environment and placing the core directly in ambient airflow is the most effective intercooler upgrade path for builds targeting serious power gains.

DETAILS

• Core: black coated aluminum FMIC
• Piping: red powder coated charge pipes
• Core location: front of radiator
• Complete kit: core, piping, couplers, all hardware
• Significant charge temperature improvement vs TMIC
• Fitment: Subaru WRX / STI

A front mount intercooler places the core where it has access to the coolest, most abundant airflow on the car rather than competing with engine bay heat. The EJ/FA series platform responds to consistent charge air temperatures with more predictable boost, sharper throttle response, and sustained power output across back-to-back runs that would cause a top mount to heat soak.

The GrimmSpeed FMIC kit is a complete engineered system , black core, red powder coated charge piping, couplers, and all mounting hardware designed specifically for the Subaru WRX / STI chassis and validated together. Installation routes charge piping through the engine bay to the front-mounted core.
