If you're diving into the world of performance upgrades for your 2022+ WRX, you’ve probably heard of ETS. They were the first to drop a front mount intercooler for this model, and they’ve really set the bar high. Fast forward three years, and they've taken feedback from enthusiasts like us to create something that’s not just good but downright impressive.

This latest intercooler is a game-changer. It retains the factory crash beam, so you won’t have to worry about sacrificing safety for performance. With over 300% more capacity compared to the stock unit, it’s designed for serious heat dissipation. That means when you’re pushing your WRX hard, you’ll keep your performance consistent, even on those hot days or during spirited drives.

• Cooling Efficiency: The stepped core design is no joke. It maximizes frontal surface area and volume, giving you that 300% capacity boost. You’ll notice the difference in how your WRX handles heat on the track or the street.
• Factory Bumper Beam Compatibility: This intercooler has a lower core thickness of 7.0" and an impressive height of 13.50". It fits snugly behind the factory crash beam and bumper cover, so you can enjoy a clean look without any modifications. It’s all about that performance upgrade while keeping things factory-fresh.
• Custom ETS Windshield Washer Filler Neck: They’ve redesigned this piece to make charge pipe routing smoother. It features a billet connection and a wrinkle-black screw-on cap that matches the intercooler piping. Plus, it keeps the factory O-ring for a secure, leak-free fit.
• Piping Options: Depending on your goals, you can choose between two piping options. The 2.5" piping is perfect for quick spool and daily driving, supporting up to 750whp. If you’re aiming higher, the 3.0" option is built for those pushing beyond that mark, giving you maximum airflow.
• Throttle Body Connection: Version 2 of the throttle body adapter comes with a double O-ring setup, ensuring a tight seal even when you’re cranking up the boost. This intercooler is ready for whatever you throw at it.
• Ambient Temp Sensor Relocation: They’ve moved the ambient temp sensor to get more accurate readings by directing airflow right where it needs to go.
• Anodizing Options: You can choose from a range of colors—Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just a heads up, black is the only color that offers UV protection, while the others are great for show cars but may fade over time with sun exposure.
• ETS Stencil: Want to give your ride a more aggressive look? You can opt to have the ETS logo stenciled on the intercooler.
• Pressure Tested: Each intercooler is pressure tested to over 50 psi, so you know it’s built to perform without leaks.

Fitment: This intercooler is made specifically for the Subaru WRX 2022 and newer. If you’re looking to upgrade, the part number is 200-60-ICK-179, which pairs perfectly with the HKS BOV flange.

Overall, if you’re serious about performance and want to keep your WRX running cool and strong, this intercooler is a solid choice. It’s built for enthusiasts who know what they want and aren’t afraid to push their rides to the limit.
