If you’re looking to take your 2022+ WRX to the next level, you’ve got to check out what ETS has cooked up. They were the first to drop a front mount intercooler for the new WRX, and three years later, they’ve really nailed it with their latest version. It’s not just about the numbers; this intercooler is engineered for real-world performance, and trust me, it shows.

First off, let’s talk capacity. This intercooler boasts over 300% more cooling capacity than the stock setup. That’s a serious upgrade, especially when you’re pushing your car hard. The stepped core design maximizes both surface area and volume, which means you’ll get superior heat dissipation. Whether you’re tearing up back roads or hitting the track, this intercooler keeps your engine running cool and performing consistently.

One of the standout features is how it fits. ETS has designed it to work seamlessly with the factory crash beam. With a core thickness of just 7.0 inches and a height of 13.50 inches, it tucks right behind the factory bumper cover without any need for mods. You get all that performance without sacrificing safety or aesthetics—pretty sweet, right?

Now, let’s not forget about the details that make a difference. The custom ETS windshield washer filler neck is a nice touch. It’s designed for smoother charge pipe routing and comes with a billet connection and a wrinkle-black cap that matches the intercooler piping. Plus, it keeps the factory O-ring, so you won’t have to worry about leaks.

When it comes to piping options, you’ve got choices. The 2.5-inch piping is perfect for quick spool and everyday street driving, supporting up to 750whp. If you’re planning to push beyond that, the 3.0-inch piping is your go-to for maximum airflow. Either way, you’re covered.

And let’s talk about the throttle body connection. The latest version features a double O-ring setup to ensure a leak-free seal, no matter how much boost you’re throwing at it. That’s crucial when you’re trying to get every last bit of power out of your setup.

ETS has even thought about the little things, like relocating the ambient temp sensor for more accurate readings, and they offer a variety of anodizing options—Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just a heads up: the Black option is the only one that provides UV protection, while the others are great for show cars but might fade a bit over time with prolonged exposure.

Want to add a bit of flair? You can get the ETS logo stenciled on the intercooler for that aggressive look up front. Plus, each unit is pressure tested to over 50 psi, so you know it’s built to last.

In short, if you own a 2022+ Subaru WRX, this intercooler is a no-brainer. It’s designed for performance, fits like a glove, and looks great doing it. Don’t just take my word for it—get one and feel the difference for yourself.
