If you're looking to upgrade your MazdaSpeed's performance, the ETS top mount intercooler is definitely worth your attention. This isn't just any intercooler; it's built to deliver serious cooling and efficiency without breaking the bank. What I love about it is the direct bolt-on design—no need for complicated modifications. Just line it up with the factory mounting points and you're good to go.
The core uses a bar and plate design, which really maximizes cooling efficiency. I’ve seen some serious dyno numbers from this setup—think gains of around 20 horsepower and 20 lb-ft of torque, even on a stock vehicle. That’s a noticeable bump in performance, especially when you’re pushing your car to its limits.
One of the standout features is the upgraded aluminum shroud that comes with the intercooler. It replaces that drab black shroud that just doesn’t do your engine bay any favors. Plus, it’s designed to eliminate the bottlenecks that the stock intercooler has, which is crucial for keeping your intake temps down during those spirited drives.
Before it ships out, each intercooler is pressure checked at 35 psi. That’s peace of mind right there—no one wants to deal with leaks after installation. And just in case you’re worried about durability, it comes with a one-year warranty against cracking.
In terms of specs, this intercooler flows 1176 CFM at 3.25 inches, which translates to about 705 horsepower based on flow. Keep in mind that the inlet and outlet can restrict flow to around 600 hp, but with the right conditions—like hitting about 50 mph—you can really maximize that surface area for optimal performance.
So, if you’ve got a MazdaSpeed 3 or 6 from 2007 to 2009, this intercooler is a solid upgrade that can help you unleash your car's potential. Trust me, once you make the switch, you’ll feel the difference.
