If you're looking to really amp up your 2022+ WRX, you might want 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 three years of listening to what the community wanted, they've come back with something that’s truly impressive. This isn’t just any intercooler; it’s a serious upgrade that keeps the factory crash beam intact while delivering performance that’ll make your head spin.
So, what’s the deal? For starters, this intercooler boasts over 300% more capacity than the stock one. That means better cooling efficiency, which is crucial when you’re pushing your car hard. The stepped core design really maximizes the frontal surface area and volume, so you can count on consistent performance even when the heat is on. Whether you’re hitting the track or just cruising around town, you’ll notice the difference.
One of the standout features is how it fits seamlessly behind the factory bumper. With a core thickness of just 7.0 inches and a height of 13.50 inches, you won’t have to worry about any modifications to your ride. It’s all about that clean, factory-fit look without sacrificing safety or airflow.
And let’s talk about the little details that make a big difference. The custom ETS windshield washer filler neck is designed for smoother charge pipe routing. It’s got a billet connection to the filler tank and a sleek wrinkle-black screw-on cap that matches the intercooler piping. Plus, it keeps the factory O-ring for a secure, leak-free fit. No one wants to deal with leaks when you’re out enjoying your ride.
Now, depending on what kind of power you’re aiming for, you’ve got tailored piping options. The 2.5-inch piping is recommended for those who want quick spool and solid 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. It’s all about what fits your build best.
Another cool feature is the double O-ring throttle body connection. This version 2 adapter ensures you get a leak-free seal, no matter how much boost you’re throwing at it. And if you’re worried about temperature readings, the relocated ambient temp sensor is positioned to catch direct airflow for more accurate readings.
Worried about aesthetics? ETS has you covered with anodizing options in Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just a heads up, the black option gives you UV protection, while the other colors are great for show cars but might fade a bit with prolonged sun exposure. And if you want to flaunt it, you can even get the ETS logo stenciled on the intercooler for that aggressive look.
Finally, every intercooler goes through a rigorous pressure test over 50 psi to ensure it’s leak-free and ready to handle whatever you throw at it. So, if you’re serious about performance and want to upgrade your Subaru WRX 2022-2025, this is definitely worth considering.
