If you're looking to boost your MazdaSpeed's performance, the ETS top mount intercooler is worth considering. I've had my hands on this piece, and let me tell you, it’s a game changer. This intercooler isn’t just about looking good; it’s built to perform. With a bar and plate core design, it’s all about maximizing cooling efficiency, which is crucial for keeping your engine running strong under pressure.
One of the best parts? It’s a direct bolt-on installation, so you can use the factory mounting points without any hassle. No need for complicated modifications or extra parts—just a straightforward install that gets you back on the road quickly. Plus, every unit comes with an upgraded aluminum shroud that replaces that boring black one. It’s a small detail, but it makes a difference in how your engine bay looks.
Now, let’s talk numbers. This intercooler has been pressure checked at a solid 35psi, so you know it can handle the heat. On a stock vehicle, you can expect to see dyno-proven gains of around 20 horsepower and 20 lb-ft of torque. That’s not just a marketing gimmick; it’s real performance you can feel. And if you’re pushing it to the limits, this intercooler flows 1176 CFM, which translates to about 705hp based on flow. Just keep in mind that the inlet and outlet can restrict flow to around 600hp, but it’s still impressive for a top mount setup.
In terms of fitment, this intercooler is designed for the MazdaSpeed 3 and 6 models from 2007 to 2009, so if you own one of those, you’re in luck. It’s a solid upgrade that not only improves performance but also addresses the bottlenecks that the stock intercooler has. Plus, it comes with a one-year warranty against cracking, so you can install it with confidence.
Overall, if you’re serious about getting more out of your Mazda, this intercooler is a solid investment. It’s built tough, easy to install, and gives you the performance boost you’re after. Definitely worth a look if you want to take your ride to the next level.
