If you’re looking to take your 2022+ WRX to the next level, you’ve got to check out what ETS has cooked up. They were the pioneers in offering a front mount intercooler for this model, and three years later, they’ve really listened to what the community has been asking for. This latest intercooler isn’t just a pretty face; it’s designed to deliver performance that’s hard to beat.

First off, let’s talk capacity. This intercooler boasts over 300% more capacity than the stock unit. That’s not just a number—it means you’ll experience superior heat dissipation, which is crucial when you’re pushing your car hard, whether on the track or during spirited drives. The stepped core design maximizes frontal surface area and volume, ensuring that you get the cooling efficiency you need when it counts.

One of the standout features here is how seamlessly it integrates with your factory setup. The intercooler has a lower core thickness of just 7.0 inches and an impressive height of 13.50 inches, which allows it to fit snugly behind the factory crash beam and bumper cover. You get all the performance benefits without the hassle of modifications or sacrificing safety. It keeps that clean, factory-fit look while boosting your ride's capabilities.

ETS didn’t stop there. They also redesigned the windshield washer filler neck to make charge pipe routing smoother. This custom neck features a billet connection and a wrinkle-black screw-on cap that matches the intercooler piping. Plus, it retains the factory O-ring, so you won’t have to worry about leaks.

Now, depending on your build, you’ve got some tailored piping options. The 2.5-inch piping is the go-to for most folks, offering quick spool and great street drivability while supporting up to 750whp. If you’re planning to push beyond that, the 3.0-inch piping is engineered for maximum airflow and performance. Whatever your goals are, ETS has got you covered.

And let’s not forget about the throttle body connection. Version 2 of their adapter features a double O-ring design, ensuring a leak-free seal no matter how much boost you’re running. Bring on the power!

For those who care about aesthetics, ETS offers anodizing options in Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just a heads up—Black is your best bet for UV protection, while the other colors are perfect for show cars. Just keep in mind that prolonged exposure to sunlight might fade the anodized finish over time.

Each intercooler is pressure tested to over 50 psi, so you can trust that it’s built to perform without leaks. If you want to add a bit of flair, you can even opt for the ETS logo stenciled on the intercooler, giving your WRX that aggressive edge.

In short, this intercooler is a solid upgrade for any 2022+ WRX owner looking to enhance their ride. It’s all about performance without compromising on safety or style.
