GrimmSpeed GRM093113 Top Mount Intercooler Splitter for Forester XT 04-08

Vehicle Fitment

• 2004-2008 Subaru Forester XT (2.5L EJ255, Stock or JDM STI Scoop, equipped with a GrimmSpeed or 04-07 STI TMIC)

Fitment Notes

• Designed to seal perfectly with a GrimmSpeed top mount intercooler (TMIC) - also works with the OEM 04-07 STI TMIC
• Works with either the stock Forester XT scoop or the JDM STI scoop
• WARNING: Cancer & Reproductive Harm - for more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Features

• Purpose-built to maximize performance of GrimmSpeed's Top Mount Intercooler on the Forester XT platform - some users report producing 600-700 whp with a properly matched splitter and TMIC combination
• Forces ambient air through the intercooler's dense core rather than around it, critical for effective cooling with high-density cores
• Designed in CAD for a perfect mating fit with the GrimmSpeed TMIC
• Laser-cut 5052 aluminum construction for durable, lightweight strength
• Durable DuPont black powder-coated finish resists corrosion and wear
• Rubber bulb gasket provides an excellent, long-lasting seal
• Addresses the reality that even mildly modified turbo engines can see intake air temperatures exceeding 400°F entering the intercooler, making effective ambient airflow critical

Product Description

The GrimmSpeed GRM093113 splitter was developed specifically to unlock the full potential of a GrimmSpeed top mount intercooler on the Forester XT, addressing the reality that a dense, high-performance intercooler core needs properly directed ambient airflow to actually work - some users running this splitter alongside a matched GrimmSpeed TMIC report producing 600-700 whp. Rather than letting incoming air bypass the core, this splitter channels it directly through the fins for genuinely effective heat rejection.

Designed in CAD for a precise mating fit with the GrimmSpeed TMIC and laser-cut from durable 5052 aluminum, this splitter works with either the stock Forester XT hood scoop or the JDM STI scoop, and is compatible with the OEM 04-07 STI TMIC as well. With intake air temperatures on modified turbo engines commonly exceeding 400°F before reaching the intercooler, a properly fitting splitter like this one is a meaningful upgrade for FXT and STI owners serious about managing heat under sustained boost.
