GrimmSpeed Top Mount Intercooler Kit with Splitter (Silver) , 2015-2018 Subaru WRX
The GrimmSpeed Top Mount Intercooler Kit with Splitter in silver for the 2015-2018 Subaru WRX pairs a larger-core TMIC with GrimmSpeed’s hood scoop splitter. The intercooler and splitter are engineered as a system , the splitter directs ram air from the factory hood scoop over the intercooler surface, ensuring the larger core delivers its full cooling potential rather than fighting engine bay heat alone.
DETAILS
- TMIC core: silver coated aluminum
- Larger core than OEM
- Includes GrimmSpeed hood scoop splitter
- Splitter directs ram air over TMIC surface
- Maintains stock charge pipe routing
- Fitment: 2015-2018 Subaru WRX FA20DIT
The FA20DIT WRX positions its TMIC directly above the engine where radiant heat works against cooling efficiency. The GrimmSpeed TMIC uses a larger core to absorb more heat before charge temperatures climb, but the splitter is the piece that makes the full system work as intended. Without directing airflow from the hood scoop onto the intercooler surface, a significant portion of available ram air passes around the core rather than through it.
At highway speeds and in track conditions where ram air pressure is meaningful, the splitter produces a measurable reduction in charge air temperatures compared to running the TMIC core alone. GrimmSpeed engineers and validates the TMIC and splitter as a matched system for the 2015-2018 WRX’s hood scoop geometry.
