If you're looking to upgrade your 2022+ WRX, let me tell you about the ETS front mount intercooler. This isn't just any intercooler—it's the first of its kind for the WRX, and it’s been fine-tuned over the years based on real feedback from folks who know their cars. We’ve taken everything we learned and crafted something that really delivers on performance without sacrificing that factory look.
So, what’s the deal with this intercooler? For starters, it’s got over 300% more capacity than the stock unit. That means better cooling and more consistent performance, even when you're pushing your car to the limits. The stepped core design maximizes airflow and surface area, so you can count on it to keep your engine happy, no matter how hard you’re driving.
One of the coolest features? It fits right behind the factory crash beam. With a core thickness of just 7.0 inches and a height of 13.50 inches, you can upgrade your cooling without any major modifications. It’s all about getting that performance boost while keeping everything looking clean and OEM. Safety first, right?
We didn’t stop there. The custom windshield washer filler neck is a nice touch, designed for smoother charge pipe routing. It comes with a billet connection and a sleek wrinkle-black cap that matches the intercooler piping. Plus, it keeps the factory O-ring, so you won’t have to worry about leaks.
Now, let’s talk piping. You’ve got options here: the 2.5-inch piping is perfect for quick spool and street driving, supporting up to 750whp. If you’re going for big power—over 750whp—then the 3.0-inch piping is your best bet for max airflow.
And here’s a little bonus: our throttle body connection has been upgraded with a double O-ring design to ensure a leak-free seal, no matter how much boost you’re running. Bring on the power!
We’ve also relocated the ambient temperature sensor to get more accurate readings, which is crucial for tuning and performance monitoring. Plus, you can choose from a variety of anodizing options—Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just keep in mind that the Black offers UV protection, while the others look great on show cars but may fade over time with exposure.
Each intercooler is pressure tested to over 50 psi, so you know it’s built to last. And if you want to add a bit of flair, you can opt for the ETS logo stencil on the front—nothing says “I mean business” like a little branding.
Fitment: This intercooler is specifically designed for the Subaru WRX from 2022 to 2025, so you can trust it will fit right in without a hitch.
So, if you’re ready to take your WRX to the next level, this intercooler is where it’s at. It’s all about performance, reliability, and keeping that factory aesthetic intact.
