GrimmSpeed Phenolic Thermal Spacer 8mm Subaru Impreza Non-Turbo 99-14

$79.00

GrimmSpeed

Model #017001


Shopper Award

In response to the demand to extend our Phenolic Spacer lineup to include some of the older subaru models, we now have created intake manifold thermal spacers for 99+ 2.5 N/A Phase 2 and 99+ 2.2 N/A engines.

Thermal spacers lift the intake manifold off the super heated engine to lessen the transfer of heat. Both the intake manifold and engine block are aluminum so the high heat transfers very quickly....well these spacers stop that. The cooler the intake charge the more HP and TQ your engine will make.

In addition to cooling your intake charge, these will also give you larger intake volume similar to that of a throttle body spacer.

Features:

  • Greatly reduces the transer of heat from engine to intake manifold thus reducing heat soak.
  • One of a kind true Phenolic material, not cutting board material like others.
  • The cooler your intake temperature is the denser the air is which leads to more power
  • For every 5 degree reduction in air temperature, increases power by 1%.
  • The cooler and denser the intake air that the engine sucks in, increases the amount of air that can be mixed with fuel thus increasing efficiency.
  • GrimmSpeed 3mm Subaru WRX STI Phenolic Thermal Spacer
  • Direct bolt-on.
  • When running the oem gasket only, your intake manifold gets very hot to the touch, enough to burn your hand. When the oem gasket is replaced with our Phenolic Spacer, your hand can be placed on the intake manifold without any issues.
  • We have installed both with and without OEM Subaru Gaskets and have had no issues with either way. We do recommend using 2 sets of oem gaskets however, one on both sides of the spacer.
  • USA made
Fitments:
  • Subaru Impreza 1999-2014
Notes:
  • Like our other thermal spacers we suggest putting oem subaru gaskets on top and bottom of each spacer to allow proper sealing. You can buy these on our online store as well for much cheaper than the dealership.

Only original, unaltered and unmodified materials and workmanship are covered by this policy and you must provide proof of original purchase to be fully covered. This warranty does not cover damage caused by accidents, improper care/installation, negligence, reasonable/normal wear and tear, or the natural breakdown of colors, coatings and materials over extended time and usage. GrimmSpeed cannot be held liable for any damage to your vehicle and/or its components caused by failures associated with the previous statement.

Is normal wear and tear covered?

The GrimmSpeed Limited Lifetime Warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, but it does not cover normal wear and tear over extended time and usage.

Common examples of wear and tear that would not be covered under the limited lifetime warranty include denting, abrasions or scratches, color changing from heat in exhaust components and so on, less common examples include flex-section wear and fatigue cracks over an extended period of time.
