If you're looking to take your 2022+ WRX to the next level, let me tell you about the front mount intercooler from ETS. They were the first to bring this upgrade to the market, and three years later, they've really knocked it out of the park with their latest design. This isn't just another intercooler; it's a serious performance boost that keeps the factory crash beam intact. So, you can enjoy the benefits without sacrificing safety or having to hack up your ride.
Now, let's talk numbers. This intercooler boasts over 300% more capacity than the stock unit. That means it can handle a lot more heat, which is crucial when you're pushing your WRX hard. The stepped core design is where the magic happens, maximizing both the frontal surface area and volume for top-notch cooling efficiency. Whether you’re hitting the track or just cruising around town, you’ll notice a consistent performance that doesn’t fade under pressure.
One of the coolest features is how it fits snugly behind the factory crash beam and bumper cover. With a lower core thickness of just 7.0" and a height of 13.50", it tucks in perfectly, giving you that clean, factory look while still maximizing airflow. No need for modifications here—just straightforward performance upgrade.
And for those of you who like to tinker, ETS has tailored piping options to suit your build. The 2.5" piping is the go-to for quick spool and everyday drivability, supporting up to 750whp, which is plenty for most street setups. If you're aiming for the stars and pushing beyond that, the 3.0" piping option is engineered for maximum airflow and performance.
Worried about leaks? The upgraded throttle body connection features a double O-ring design to ensure a tight seal, no matter how much boost you’re cranking out. Plus, they’ve relocated the ambient temperature sensor to streamline airflow and give you more accurate readings—little details like this make a difference when you’re pushing your limits.
And let’s not forget about the aesthetics. You can choose from a range of anodizing options, including Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just keep in mind that while black offers UV protection, the other colors are more for show. If you’re thinking about a flashy look, just be aware that they might fade a bit with time.
Each intercooler is pressure tested to over 50 psi, ensuring you won’t have to worry about leaks when you’re out there pushing your WRX to the max. Oh, and if you want to add a bit of flair, you can get the ETS logo stenciled on for that aggressive look.
Fitment:
So, if you're ready to step up your game, the ETS front mount intercooler is where it’s at. It’s designed for performance enthusiasts who want the best for their WRX without compromising on quality or safety.
