Something to note for anyone looking into these inlets - The Cobb inlet's BPV bung is slightly longer than the GrimmSpeed inlet's BPV bung. This can cause some BPV fitment issues depending on what charge pipe/BPV setup you're running. I was running the Cobb inlet, GrimmSpeed BPV, and OEM charge pipe and found out the the BPV was sitting crooked due to the Cobb inlet's longer bung. It wasn't extremely crooked, but enough to make me swap back to the OEM BPV for now and avoid any potential leaks. I chatted with GrimmSpeed about this and confirmed that the fitment is extremely tight with their BPV and inlet together, so the Cobb inlet's bung being slightly longer was enough to cause interference. Running a non-OEM charge pipe might help with this, but I haven't tested it yet. Regardless, I believe these are both solid options for aftermarket inlets. Just wanted to give a heads up for anyone that may be planning to run a setup similar to mine. UPDATE: I am currently running GrimmSpeed BPV and Cobb inlet with a Cobb TMIC/charge pipe kit which has a silicone coupler for the BPV/inlet/charge pipe connection. I was able to trim the BPV side of the coupler enough to make everything fit perfectly.

@@montano171 I’m now running a Cobb charge pipe with a silicone coupler, and the fitment is better. Not perfect, but better. I ran the GrimmSpeed BPV with the OEM charge pipe for a few weeks without issues, but I was uncomfortable knowing how crooked the BPV was sitting, so I took it out. I could see the metal-on-metal wear on both the BPV and the turbo inlet from where they were interfering with each other. YMMV, but any time there’s metal-on-metal where it shouldn’t be, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Thanks for the review. Just installed the Cobb and finally broke my oem one after messing with it so much (caused by separate bpv and charge pipe installs -- I think the breakage of the oem part is self-inflicted).

They will both do relatively the same thing. And neither requires a tune. The cobb one has some advantages over the grimmspeed one for someone planning to utilize those advantages, but at a slightly higher price.

i can see on this vid the grimmspeed is much better quality forging & machining. plus cobb changing the size will disrupt the stock map, meaning you would require a tune! and i bet those inserts for the ports are plastic, so another way they cut manufacturing costs yet jack the price up! I'd choose grimmspeed over cobb for ANY parts on my subie!!!
