If you’re looking to take your 2022+ WRX to the next level, you’ve got to check out what ETS has cooked up with their front mount intercooler. They were the first to bring this to the table, and after listening to feedback from folks like us, they’ve really fine-tuned their design. This isn’t just another intercooler; it’s a game-changer in performance and quality.
So, what makes this intercooler stand out? For starters, it boasts over 300% more capacity than the stock unit. That’s right—300%! With its stepped core design, it maximizes both surface area and volume, ensuring that heat dissipation is on point. Whether you’re pushing your WRX hard on the track or just cruising through town, you can count on consistent performance, no matter the conditions.
One of the best parts? This intercooler keeps the factory crash beam intact. It’s designed with a lower core thickness of just 7.0 inches and a height of 13.50 inches, so it fits snugly behind your factory bumper without any modifications. You get all that extra cooling power while maintaining that clean, factory look. It’s a win-win.
Now, let’s talk about the details. ETS has also redesigned the windshield washer filler neck for smoother charge pipe routing. It features a billet connection to the filler tank and a sleek wrinkle-black screw-on cap that matches the intercooler piping perfectly. Plus, it retains the factory O-ring, so you know it’s going to be leak-free.
When it comes to piping options, you’ve got choices. The 2.5-inch piping is my go-to for quick spool and great street drivability, handling up to 750whp. If you’re looking to push beyond that, the 3.0-inch piping is engineered for maximum airflow and performance. Either way, you’re set up for serious power.
And here’s something that really gives you peace of mind: the throttle body connection features a double O-ring design. This ensures a solid, leak-free seal, no matter how much boost you’re running. Bring it on!
They’ve even relocated the ambient temp sensor to improve airflow and accuracy, which is a nice touch for those who like to keep an eye on performance metrics. Plus, you can choose from a variety of anodizing options—Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just a heads up, the black option offers UV protection, while the others are more for show. Keep in mind, though, that UV exposure can fade those vibrant colors over time.
Want to add a bit of flair? You can opt to have the ETS logo stenciled onto the intercooler, giving your ride that aggressive edge. And for those who are concerned about durability, each intercooler is pressure tested to over 50 psi, so you know it’s built to last.
Fitment:
In short, if you’re serious about performance and want a reliable upgrade for your Subaru WRX, this ETS intercooler is a no-brainer. It’s been designed with real-world feedback and delivers on every front.
