Add an Integrated Fan for Better Low-Speed Cooling at the Radiator
The classic Impreza WRX and STI chassis can lose cooling efficiency at idle and low speed when airflow through the radiator core drops off. The GrimmSpeed Radiator Shroud with Fan integrates a dedicated fan directly into the shroud assembly, pulling more consistent airflow through the radiator when vehicle speed alone isn't enough. It's designed as a direct fit for the 2002-2007 Impreza and WRX chassis and the 2004-2007 STI.
Key Features
- Integrated fan improves airflow through the radiator core at low speed
- Direct-fit shroud design for the classic Impreza/WRX/STI chassis
- Helps maintain more consistent coolant temperatures in traffic or at idle
- Works alongside the factory radiator for improved cooling performance
- Straightforward installation using existing mounting points
