Features & Product Details
Grimmspeed is a pioneering company in the world of sport compact performance. With that being said they combine expertise, and careful manufacturing methods to produce high-performance products that produce results. With that being said Grimmspeed examined several factory intake systems to identify their restrictions and shortcomings only to improve on them. Over months of several testing designs, their advanced research, and development program fully utilized their engineering resources to deliver an intake solution that will make the most out of an intake system.
The result is a quality cold air intake system designed with tuners in mind. During the design process, Grimmspeed made careful considerations in the regard that the MAF sensor must be protected from the heat of the engine bay for accurate readings without placing the filter close enough to the ground that it could absorb water or moisture. The MAF sensor must be placed relative to the filter and air straightener that is similar to the OEM airbox for consistent and reliable readings. Additionally, the intake tube must have smooth bends to limit air turbulence under acceleration while maintaining a proper length. Furthermore, the heat shield must provide sealing between the induction area and the engine bay to keep the air intake temperatures as low as possible. The intake tube will also come in a nice powder-coated black finish to provide a cleaner look to the engine bay.
The filter, hardware, a silicone coupler with a clamp, as well as the seals for the intake box will be included to make the Grimmspeed Cold Air Intake ready for the installation.

REVIEWS & CUSTOMER MEDIA
I purchased this CAI for my 2019 Subaru BRZ. I was skeptical of the promises made by Grimmspeed, but to my surprise they delivered. The sound is great and it definitely cleans up your engine bay some. Overall I recommend this intake!
I wanted an intake that would use the factory snorkel and had a clean look that didn't scream RICER!!! every time I opened the hood. I chose the Grimmspeed unit and as always, I'm very impressed with their fit and finish. The engine bay looks much cleaner now. Install was very straight forward. The power increase is modest but the best part by far is the sound. So much better than the stock system. Past 4,500 RPM it really comes alive. Down low in the revs it sounds a little deeper too. Why 4 and not 5 stars? - The rubber grommet that needs to be cut for the MAF wire doesn't like to stay in place - Even with the two airbox bolts adjusted as far toward the front of the car as possible, the rubber seal that mates with the snorkel outlet tube isn't a very tight fit. - If I set the filter exactly 1 inch away from the MAF flange like the install instructions say, the hose clamp tightens on the weld for the air straightener and slides toward the MAF flange and off the small lip of the filter
