If you’re looking to take your 2022+ WRX to the next level, you’ve got to check out the front mount intercooler from ETS. They were the pioneers in this space, and three years later, they've really stepped up their game based on what users like you and me have been asking for. This isn’t just another intercooler; it’s a serious upgrade that keeps the factory crash beam intact while delivering performance that’s hard to beat.

Let’s get into the nitty-gritty. This intercooler boasts over 300% more capacity than the stock one, thanks to a smart stepped core design that maximizes both frontal surface area and volume. What does that mean for you? Better heat dissipation and consistent performance, even when you’re pushing your WRX to its limits. Whether you're hitting the track or just cruising around town, you’ll notice the difference.

Now, one of the standout features is how it fits. The intercooler has a lower core thickness of 7.0" and a height of 13.50", which means it tucks in nicely behind the factory crash beam and bumper cover. No need for any modifications here—just a clean, factory-fit look that doesn’t compromise on safety. You get the performance boost without sacrificing aesthetics.

Another cool aspect is the redesigned windshield washer filler neck. It’s got a billet connection and a wrinkle-black screw-on cap that matches the intercooler piping. Plus, it keeps the factory O-ring, so you won’t have to worry about leaks. It’s all about making your life easier while keeping everything looking sharp.

When it comes to piping, you’ve got options. The 2.5" piping is the go-to choice for quick spool and street-friendly drivability, supporting up to 750whp. If you’re really pushing the envelope, the 3.0" piping is built for those aiming for more than that. Either way, you’re set up for success.

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

ETS also paid attention to the details, like relocating the ambient temp sensor for more accurate readings. Each intercooler is pressure tested to over 50 psi, so you can trust that it’s ready for whatever you throw at it.

For those of you who care about aesthetics, there are anodizing options galore—Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just a heads up: the Black anodizing offers UV protection, while the other colors are more for show. Keep in mind that UV exposure can fade those brighter colors over time.

And if you want to add a little flair, you can opt for the ETS logo stenciled on the intercooler. It gives your ride that aggressive edge that’s hard to miss.
