Hey there, fellow WRX enthusiasts! If you’re looking to take your 2022+ WRX to the next level, let me tell you about this beast of an intercooler from ETS. They were the first to drop a front mount intercooler for our rides, and they’ve really knocked it out of the park with this latest version. After three years of listening to feedback, they’ve crafted something that not only performs like a champ but also keeps that factory fit and finish.

So, what’s the deal with this intercooler? For starters, it boasts over 300% more capacity than the stock unit. Yeah, you read that right—300%! That means it’s going to keep your temps down even when you’re really pushing your WRX. The stepped core design maximizes airflow and surface area, so you’re getting superior heat dissipation. Whether you’re hitting the track or just cruising around town, you can count on consistent performance.

One of the coolest 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 right behind your factory bumper without any modifications. You get all that performance while keeping your ride looking clean and OEM. Safety and style? Check and check!

Now, let’s talk about the details that make this intercooler stand out. The custom ETS windshield washer filler neck is a game changer, allowing for smoother charge pipe routing. It’s got a billet connection to the filler tank and a sleek wrinkle-black cap that matches the intercooler piping. Plus, it keeps the factory O-ring for a solid, leak-free fit.

If you’re pushing for power, you’ve got options for piping. The 2.5" piping is recommended for those who want quick spool and solid street drivability, supporting up to 750whp. For the power-hungry among us, the 3.0" piping option is ready to deliver maximum airflow for builds exceeding 750whp. Bring on the boost!

And don’t worry about leaks; the throttle body connection features a double O-ring design to ensure everything stays sealed tight, no matter how much boost you’re running. Plus, they’ve relocated the ambient temp sensor to get more accurate readings with direct airflow.

Worried about looks? ETS has got you covered with anodizing options in Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just a heads-up: the black option is the only one that provides UV protection, while the others are perfect for those show cars. Just remember, prolonged sun exposure might fade the colors over time.

You can even get the ETS logo stenciled on for an aggressive touch. Each intercooler is pressure tested to over 50 psi, so you know it’s built to handle the heat.
