If you're looking to take your 2022+ WRX to the next level, you might want to check out the front mount intercooler from ETS. They were the first to bring this kind of upgrade to the table, and honestly, they set the bar pretty high. After three years of listening to feedback from actual users (like us), they've rolled out a new design that really hits the mark.

This intercooler is a beast. It boasts over 300% more capacity than the stock unit, which means you're going to see some serious cooling efficiency. The stepped core design isn’t just for show; it maximizes frontal surface area and volume, so you can count on it to keep your engine temp in check, even when you're pushing it hard.

One of the standout features is that it retains the factory crash beam. With a core thickness of just 7.0 inches and a height of 13.50 inches, it fits snugly behind the factory bumper without any need for modifications. This means you can upgrade your performance without sacrificing that clean, factory look. Safety first, right?

ETS didn’t stop there. They’ve also redesigned the windshield washer filler neck to make charge pipe routing smoother. It comes with a billet connection that matches the intercooler piping and keeps everything leak-free thanks to the factory O-ring. It's the little details that make a difference.

Now, let’s talk piping options. If you're aiming for a solid street setup, the 2.5-inch piping is your best bet. It’s designed for quick spool and can handle up to 750whp, which is perfect for most stock or factory replacement turbos. If you're planning to crank things up even more, the 3.0-inch option is there for those pushing beyond that 750whp mark, ensuring maximum airflow.

And for those of us who like to push the limits, the throttle body connection is a game-changer. Version 2 features a double O-ring setup, which means you won’t have to worry about leaks, no matter how much boost you're running. Bring it on!

They’ve also relocated the ambient temp sensor to get more accurate readings, which is pretty smart. Plus, you can choose from a variety of anodizing options—Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just a heads-up, though: while Black offers UV protection, the other colors might fade a bit over time if exposed to the sun.

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