Glad you like it! Enjoy it!

Thank you for the feedback! We appreciate it. Awesome to hear you had a great experience with the kit. Let us know if you have any questions about the WRX kit.

Thanks! It is a relatively smooth install. We did our best to design it so the install wouldn't be intimidating. No major cutting required. Easy fitment and adjustability. Quality hardware. We really hope people enjoy this kit!

Hey Thanks for the love! Hope you are enjoying your GS TMIC. When it comes time to move to the FMIC, give us a call!

We can't wait for you to get your hands on it!

Ill tell him you noticed!

@@GrimmSpeed thank you!

Thanks Jon! Really tried to be as thorough as possible on this one! Yes, all pipes, clamps and couplers are included!

💀😂 for real

Thanks for the love Joel! We think its fire too!

There is inherent risk to modifying any aspect of the vehicle, such as changing suspension height or geometry, changing power output levels, and our FMIC is no different with the required removal of the factory bumper beam and the front frame horn support brace. Using our best judgement we felt that the removal of this brace will not have a large enough adverse effect on the vehicles structural rigidity in an accident to warrant not removing it in order to maintain compact and shortest packaging of the intercooler pipe routing. However we as GrimmSpeed have not performed any IIHS crash testing to verify this theory, have not seen any crumple zone data from Subaru and are not able to provide any real world data to back up our theory.

Thanks for the love!

Our testing shows that the black coating does not degrade performance of the intercooler.

Hey Michale, Yes we do have a storefront where you can pick up parts in person!

There shouldn't be any bumper cutting if the piping is installed/clocked correctly, the only trimming we had to do are a few very small spots on the undertray to accommodate the large core.

Thanks! Appreciate the positive feedback! Unfortunately, we don't currently have plans for alternate piping for BRZ manifold conversions. If it is something that we get a lot of demand for that might change though.

You do not need to officially tune for the GrimmSpeed Front Mount. Although you will get the most benefit and power gain when you do. We recommend having an EBCS installed when tuning to get the most out of your tune session.

Sorry for the late reply! The horn bracket and Hella horns will work with our FMIC, but it does require some modification. The Super tone horns are much larger, so it will hit the back of the FMIC core. You will have to find a way to mount it away from the core. Using the pre-attached horn brackets that comes on the Hella horns, you should be able to mount it up and away from the core. The Sharp tone is smaller, so all you really need to do is slightly bend the brotie back a bit to help the horn clear the core.

Not in the plans at the moment.

Dealer

Johnsmopar that’s where I ended up going and got it.

We do have an VA 2015+ STI kit available. Check in with your local GrimmSpeed Dealer for more info!

If switching from top mount to front mount, we suggest getting a tune right away.

The bumper bar is very strong, but that wouldn't be its intended use. We would recommend finding another tow point.

@@GrimmSpeed if i were to need to tho even if it bends it a bit i can (once) just in an emergency id really like to be able to have peace of mind ya know

I do not know that off the top of my head since we didn't do any testing with the Cobb Flex Sensor. I am sure one of our customer service representatives would be able to help answer that question though. Send us an email at support@grimmspeed.com or give us a call at the shop. We be happy to troubleshoot with you to figure that out.

Yes.

We do not make a FMIC kit specifically for the 2016 Subaru Forester. It may be possible to modify this kit and make it work but we have not tested this so i can not confirm that at the moment.

But very nice kit! Also looks like you could use that bumper beam for other kits as well

T-bolt clamps actually cause uneven pressure vs worm clamps. So I was glad they went with quality (breeze) worm clamps instead!

Worm clamps, especially high quality ones are perfectly capable of sealing the connections when installed correctly. They also cost a lot less when compared to t-bolt style clamps which allows us to sell our Intercooler kit at a competitive price point. Although, we didn't make this choice to cut prices. We felt that quality worm clamps were the best option when it came to this application.

We haven't done testing with our bumper bar when it comes to other kits so we can't say one way or the other just yet. But it is very possible that it may work.

No. Not with this setup. OEM with not fit over this unit.

Yes, anything that’s not genuine oem subaru part void warranty whether it requires tune or not

@@ardaturk8397 Ya, I checked my manual, etc., and the front mounted will void warranty because it changes IAT, etc. It doesn't void warranty just in itself, that I know of. I'm thinking of somehow increasing airflow through the engine bay.

Our intercoolers don't require a tune after install, but in order to get the most efficiency and power out of your specific setup it is in your best interests to get it pro tuned.

No tune is required after installation but, you will not see the full benefit of the GrimmSpeed FMIC until you get it tuned.

GrimmSpeed at least how much HP can I gain from your FMIC?

Same question here... really desiring which one I’ll be running on my car

4” core, cheaper than ets with all the coating options.

No bumper trimming required for install, less couplers, well thought out install path, great customer service, and manufactured locally in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Just some of the things off the top of my head.

GrimmSpeed this!

I’m getting grimspeed over ETS now.. my buddy has ETS FMIC and its pretty good but heard reviews and install is way better on grimspeed 🤙🏼

You could install it and drive safely without a tune, but you'll start seeing the benefits of a larger intercooler through tuning!

Aw man I just got mine tuned

@@sti2k157 You'll be ok to throw the FMIC on and it'll only get better from there as you upgrade/retune!

You could if you want to, but we suggest running a bumper bar for structural and rigidity reasons.

These are currently available through our Dealer network!

Not on our unit unfortunately . Running Meth, although a common thing to do, is pretty specialized and not something that a lot of people are going to do off the bat. It is possible to make your own custom setup, but no ports are featured on this unit from us. If you have questions about adding meth ports, please give us a call and we can suggest the best way to go about doing it.
