Does the S-Type Intercooler Kit for GDB include everything needed to install it?

No. HKS requires the Racing Suction, part 70020-AF103, with the S-Type Intercooler Kit for GDB cars, and that part is not included. Buyers should order the Racing Suction at the same time so the car is not left waiting for the second part after the intercooler arrives.

Will this intercooler fit a US-market 2005 WRX STI?

Yes, according to HKS USA, which lists the 2005 Impreza WRX STI sedan with the EJ257. HKS Japan lists the same part number for the Japanese applied model E GDB with the EJ207, so BA asks buyers to confirm their car with BA before ordering.

Should I choose the S type or the R type intercooler for my STI?

HKS designs the S type for street use on stock cars, lightly tuned cars and cars with stock replacement type turbines. HKS aims the R type at circuit use with anything from stock replacement turbos up to large wastegate type turbos. A street STI with a modest turbo upgrade fits the S type brief.

Does the kit fit an STI Spec C or a car with factory fog lamps?

No. HKS states that the S type kit for this car does not fit the Spec C, cars fitted with the factory optional fog lamps, or the stock recirculation setup. Owners of any of these versions should contact BA to discuss alternatives before placing an order.

How long does it take to receive this intercooler kit?

HKS lists part 13001-AF004 as a make-to-order item, so it is produced after the order is placed rather than held in stock. BA confirms the current HKS lead time when the order is received and keeps the buyer updated until the kit ships.

Description

HKS S-Type Intercooler Kit for GDB Subaru Impreza WRX STI

The HKS S-Type Intercooler Kit for GDB Subaru Impreza WRX STI models places a 600 by 244 by 65 mm core in the front-mount position and connects it with mirror buff finished aluminum piping. HKS designs the S type for street use: stock cars, lightly tuned cars and cars on stock replacement type turbines. An STI running a large wastegate turbo belongs on the HKS R type instead. HKS builds this kit to order, requires its Racing Suction as well, and limits fitment by trim and options, so read the Notes before ordering.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
