If you're looking to seriously upgrade your MazdaSpeed experience, the ETS MazdaSpeed top mount intercooler is where it’s at. This isn’t just another intercooler; it’s a solid piece of engineering that combines quality with a price point that won’t make your wallet cry. The direct bolt-on design makes installation a breeze, using the factory mounting points, which means less time in the garage and more time on the road.
What really sets this intercooler apart is its bar and plate core. This design maximizes cooling efficiency, ensuring that your engine gets the cold air it craves. Plus, each unit is pressure checked at a solid 35psi, so you know it can handle the heat without cracking under pressure. And let’s be real, nobody wants to deal with intercooler failure after they’ve just spent hours installing it.
The included upgraded aluminum shroud is a nice touch too. It replaces that dull black shroud that the stock intercooler comes with, giving your engine bay a cleaner look. But it’s not just for aesthetics; this intercooler is designed to eliminate the bottlenecks that the factory unit has. You’ll see dyno-proven gains of 20hp and 20tq even on a stock setup, which is pretty impressive for a straightforward swap.
Now, let’s talk numbers. The 3.25” inlet flows a whopping 1176 CFM. That’s enough to support around 705hp based on flow alone. Just keep in mind that the inlet and outlet do restrict that flow a bit, so you’re realistically looking at around 600hp without major modifications. The surface area is good for about 450hp at around 50mph, which is where you want to be to get the most out of this setup.
As for fitment, this intercooler is designed specifically for the Mazda MazdaSpeed 3 and 6 from 2007 to 2009. So if you own one of those, you're in luck! It’s a straightforward upgrade that will genuinely enhance your driving experience.
In short, if you’re ready to take your MazdaSpeed to the next level, this intercooler is a no-brainer. It’s tough, efficient, and designed to give you the performance you’re after without the headaches. Plus, it comes with a 1-year warranty against cracking, so you can hit the road with confidence.
