Meticulous Engineering, Unparalleled Craftsmanship

GrimmSpeed Intercoolers have set the gold standard for how a high performance heat exchanger should be crafted. Our intercoolers have always maintained the delicate balance of low pressure drop and high temperature rejection, which is vital to safety and performance for your turbocharged Subaru engine. How can we possibly improve upon what is already touted as the best   The answer is exactly what enthusiasts have been anticipating for years: Introducing the GrimmSpeed 08-14 STI Front Mount Intercooler Kits! 

Quick Specs

  • 27”x11”x4" Cross Flow Core – Durable Bar and Plate Construction, balanced perfectly between pressure drop and heat rejection
  • Cast Aluminum End Tanks – Designed for equal flow distribution and minimum pressure drop
  • Steel Bolt-on Mounting Brackets – Robust mounting solution to minimize movement and maximize adjustability
  • No Permanent Chassis Modification – Light bumper cutting will be necessary to fit the large core (fog light delete required for 08-10 style bumper) 
  • Compatible with Factory or GrimmSpeed Intake – Removal of snorkel required; GrimmSpeed Intake recommended for maximum performance
  • Pressure Tested – Cleaned, sealed and guaranteed to work prior to delivery
  • Available in Raw Aluminum or Satin Black Powder coat – Uncoated or resilient powder coat finish to protect against rock chips
  • High Quality, Pre-applied GrimmSpeed Vinyl Decal – Show your pride for the BEST front mount intercooler on the market, or easily peel it off
  • No Tune Required – No change in maximum boost or time to spool so it's safe to install and drive
  • Welded and Inspected by Hand in Minneapolis, MN - For consistency and top quality control

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 08-14 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).  

An impressive core like the one we’ve designed means nothing without a complimentary, properly-engineered piping kit. GrimmSpeed piping kits are comprised of thick aluminum tubing, precisely machine-bent with large radius bends for maximum flow and perfect fitment every time. The pipes are bead rolled at each end to lock together with the included 5-ply silicone couplers, so you don’t have to worry about blow-offs under high boost. They are then covered in a gorgeous, durable red or black wrinkle powder coat finish that looks incredible and matches your other GrimmSpeed parts!

PIPING SPECS

  • Thick .090” Wall, 2.5” Diameter 6061 Aluminum Piping – Beadrolled and CNC mandrel bent on a large radius for maximum flow; lightweight and heat dispersant
  • Precision Pipe Routing - Retain factory components and avoid unnecessary trimming
  • Retains Factory Fog Light Mounting on 10-14 Style Bumpers - 08-10 bumpers will require fog light modification/delete
  • 5-ply Silicone Couplers – Custom molded and reinforced to last through demanding environments
  • Breeze Hi-Torque Liner Clamps – Stainless steel for lasting looks and grip with integrated liner to prevent damage to silicone
  • Durable Red or Black Wrinkle Powder Coat – Keeps pipes protected against corrosion while looking great. A perfect match to your other GrimmSpeed parts!
  • OEM Bypass Valve Location – Eases installation and allows for use of most aftermarket BPVs

BUMPER BAR

As with other FMIC kits, the GrimmSpeed Front Mount Intercooler requires the removal of your factory bumper beam in order to fit its massive core. The factory bumper beam aids in chassis rigidity and adds reinforcement to your factory bumper cover. To help keep chassis deflection at bay and to keep any large dents out of your front fascia we’re offering the GrimmSpeed Bumper Bar as an optional add-on. Our bumper bar is constructed of thick mild steel, welded to robust mounting plates that are machined for weight savings. The entire bumper bar is covered in a durable black powder coat for good looks and longevity!

BUMPER BAR SPECS

  • Thick .125” Wall, 1.375” Diameter DOM Mild Steel – Designed and built tough to outlast your vehicle
  • Robust .375” Mounting Plates – Thick for strength, skeletoned for weight savings
  • Reduces Chassis Deflection – Maintains chassis rigidity vs not running a bumper beam [bar not intended to be a substitute for the OEM crash protection]
  • Wrinkle Black Coating – Durable powder coat for a stealthy look

Being “Othered” is Real
Format: Kindle
Sky Full of Elephants opens with a haunting and unforgettable image: all the white people walking silently into bodies of water. That beginning alone tells you this is not a book that will play it safe. It is bold, layered, and deeply intentional. The writing is beautiful and the story forces readers to confront what Black history truly is: American history. The novel doesn’t just imagine a world; it holds up a mirror to the one we’ve lived in and the one we’re still shaping. It explores identity, belonging, grief, and survival in a way that feels both speculative and painfully real. As someone who grew up attending predominantly white schools, I connected deeply with Sidney’s experiences. Being “othered” (constantly reminded that you are different, that you don’t quite belong) leaves marks that follow you long after childhood ends. Some of the moments Sidney endures felt painfully familiar, and I found myself reflecting on my own younger self while reading. What struck me most, though, was reading this story as a mother. I have a biracial daughter, and her experience has been very different. She has never been made to feel like she doesn’t belong. She has never been othered. She has always been rooted in her Black identity, primarily raised by her Black mother, surrounded by family who affirm her. Even after I remarried and joined a Black family, she was embraced fully, never questioned, never treated as “less than,” never made to feel separate. Reading Sidney’s journey made me profoundly grateful that my daughter’s story has unfolded differently. It also reminded me how much environment, affirmation, and community matter in shaping a child’s sense of self. Sky Full of Elephants is more than a speculative novel. It is a meditation on race, memory, and belonging. It asks hard questions about America while honoring the fullness and complexity of Black identity. This book lingers with you. It sparks reflection. It opens conversations. And for me, it felt both personal and powerful.

Good Read!
Format: Audiobook
I read this along with my son and his girlfriend in a family “book club”. We had a good discussion about the ending, as we each had differing perspectives, but that was fun! The book was really interesting, and the characters were so well defined and deeply moving. Good read, but the ending left us a little confused.

Thought provoking
Format: Kindle
Sky Full of Elephants is a work of speculative fiction that begins with the premise that the white population of the United States has been wiped out. Starting a year after “the event” and following Charlie, a man who spent 20 years in prison due to a cowardly lie, and his resentful, biracial 19 year old daughter, who witnessed her only known family drown themselves, it is at its core a quest for identity in its many forms and how trauma can co-opt that search. In rating and reviewing this book, I’m aware that my lens as a Gen-X, cis-het, white woman, will have a differing view from others’ lived experiences. In reading other reviews, I definitely saw points that I didn’t consider, which I hope is the main point of the book. I do think, as a work of speculative fiction, that it does require the suspension of disbelief from the get go. It is a philosophical “what if” that Mr. Campbell invites the reader to consider. Intrigued by the premise, I was drawn into the story due to Mr. Campbell’s lyrical writing style. The narrative had a rhythmical flow to it that supported the world building and characterizations. I found Charlie to be a very sympathetic character, rebuilding a life shattered by lies in a new world and confronted with the daughter he never had a chance to know. Sydney, Charlie’s daughter, was more of a struggle to empathize with. While her feelings were justified and understandable, her growth throughout the novel was erratic. As the story has an ambiguous ending, perhaps her character will continue to improve. For supporting cast, the grumpy pilot Sailor and his nonbinary child, Zu, offer a counterpoint to Charlie and Sidney’s emerging relationship. The king and queen of Alabama and the thriving town of Mobile were well fleshed out. The Walkers and Sidney’s Aunt Agatha in Orange Beach represented those who were lost in their own way, either due to clinging to their former proximity to whiteness or to the religious biases they were raised with. I found the Walkers to be the most tragic of all. The questions of identity throughout the story are what kept be invested throughout. Are we defined by the color of our skin, our behaviors, the groups we belong to, the choices we make? Are others more valuable or worthy who don’t suffer the same things we do? Does there have to be those that are “lesser” to make us feel whole? As a trauma survivor with C-PTSD, I struggle with my own issues of identity and worthiness, and as a former Special Education teacher, I’ve been witness to that struggle in others. I have never understood or accepted the idea of White Supremacy or Christian Supremacy or any of the myriad ways that humanity continues to other each of us. In reality, there is no “us” or “them” only”we”. Charlie questions who he is as a Black man in the US, a convict, a teacher, a father, and ultimately a fixer and healer. Sidney grapples with her biracial otherness, her wealthy upbringing and sheltered life, the trauma of abandonment, and the lies that her life was built on. The ethical question of the machine at the epicenter of the event adds another layer to the story. While the effects of the first usage were unintended, once they were known is it right to continue to fix it and use it again? Can healing a part of collectiveness that harms or destroys another part ultimately be worth the cost? The world and its people are broken and desperately need healing. But just like the question of eugenics, what of value is lost when specific traits are universally stripped away? And who gets the to decide what is of value anyway? The ambiguity of the ending doesn’t answer the question entirely of what happens when the machine is repaired, but Charlie’s ability to fix things leads me hopeful. Personally, I cared enough about these characters to be interested in a sequel.

A book that makes you think!
Format: Paperback
This was a super good read, very imaginative. It dealt with identity, belonging, insecurities, family matters. The way it was written was unlike any book I’ve read this year.

The Possibilities
Format: Kindle
Despite its potential, this book ultimately failed to resonate with me. I found myself repeatedly compelled to put it down, as the focus on the empowerment aspect was overshadowed by the narrative’s preoccupation with re-triggering ourselves through the perpetuation of a harmful lie. This lie, which has tragically cost many Black men their lives and livelihoods, diverted our attention from the more profound themes of rebuilding culture, redefining ourselves, and creating a new world. Instead of exploring the possibility of a beautiful utopia, we were subjected to a process of de-centering ourselves and centering them, their likeness, and the relentless pursuit of proving our worth. While there were indeed wise words that moved me, I was left questioning the purpose of dedicating so much time to those who did not share our sentiments. Who are these individuals who required our convincing, and who are we who felt compelled to do so? I found Sydney, her family, and the inhabitants of Orange Beach to be unlikable characters. I fear that the plot was compromised when the focus shifted to inclusion.
