If you're looking to take your 2022+ WRX to the next level, you really need to check out what ETS has cooked up. They were the first to roll out a front mount intercooler for the new WRX, and they've set a high bar for performance and quality right from the get-go. Fast forward three years, and they've taken customer feedback seriously, leading to a fresh design that’s not just about numbers—it's about real-world performance.

This intercooler is a beast. We're talking over 300% more capacity than the stock unit, which means it’s got the cooling efficiency to keep your engine happy even when you're pushing it hard. The stepped core design isn’t just for show; it maximizes surface area and volume, which translates to better heat dissipation. So whether you’re on the track or just hitting the back roads, you can count on consistent performance.

One of the coolest features is that it keeps the factory crash beam intact. With a lower core thickness of just 7.0 inches and a height of 13.50 inches, it fits snugly behind the factory bumper without any modifications. You get the performance upgrade without sacrificing that clean, factory look—safety first, right?

Now, let’s talk about the details that really matter. 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 sleek wrinkle-black screw-on cap. Plus, it retains the factory O-ring, so you don’t have to worry about leaks.

When it comes to piping options, you’ve got choices. The 2.5-inch piping is perfect for those who want quick spool and great street drivability, supporting up to 750whp. If you’re planning to push beyond that, the 3.0-inch piping is engineered for maximum airflow and performance. And let’s not forget the upgraded throttle body connection with double O-rings—this thing is built to handle the boost.

They’ve even relocated the ambient temp sensor for more accurate readings, which is a smart move. And if you're into aesthetics, ETS offers anodizing options in Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just a heads up: while black gives you UV protection, the other colors are more for show and can fade over time if exposed to the sun.

Want to add a little flair? You can get the ETS logo stenciled on the intercooler, giving your front end that aggressive look. And for peace of mind, each intercooler is pressure tested to over 50 psi, ensuring it’s leak-free and ready to perform.
