If you’re looking to seriously up your WRX game, you’ve got to check out this front mount intercooler from ETS. Seriously, these guys were the first to drop one for the 2022+ WRX, and they’ve kept their ear to the ground ever since. After three years of feedback, they’ve come up with something that really sets the bar high for both performance and quality.

This intercooler is a beast—it’s got over 300% more capacity than the stock unit. That means way better heat dissipation, which is crucial when you’re pushing your car hard. The stepped core design is smart; it maximizes both the surface area and volume, so you can count on consistent performance, even when you’re really putting it through its paces.

One of the coolest features? It keeps the factory crash beam intact. The intercooler has a lower core thickness of just 7.0 inches and stands at 13.50 inches tall, so it fits snugly behind your factory bumper. No need for any modifications here—just a clean, factory look while you’re getting that performance boost. It’s like getting the best of both worlds.

But that’s not all. ETS has also redesigned the windshield washer filler neck for smoother charge pipe routing. It’s got a billet connection to the filler tank and a matching wrinkle-black billet screw-on cap, which not only looks great but also keeps everything secure and leak-free.

When it comes to piping options, you’ve got choices. 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 option is your go-to for maximum airflow and performance.

And let’s not forget about the throttle body connection. Version 2 comes with a double O-ring setup to ensure a solid seal, no matter how much boost you’re running. Plus, the relocated ambient temp sensor helps with accurate temperature readings by directing airflow just right.

Worried about looks? ETS has got you covered with a variety of anodizing options—Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just a heads up: Black offers UV protection, while the others might fade a bit if exposed to the sun for too long. You can even get the ETS logo stenciled on the intercooler for that extra aggressive touch.

Oh, and each intercooler is pressure tested to over 50 psi to make sure you’re not dealing with any leaks. It’s built to last and perform.

So if you’re ready to take your WRX to the next level, this intercooler is a no-brainer. It’s all about performance without sacrificing that factory feel.
