If you're looking to take your 2022+ WRX to the next level, let me tell you about the front mount intercooler from ETS. They were the first to bring this gem to the market, and three years later, they've really listened to what drivers like us need. This latest version is a real game-changer, combining top-notch performance with a design that keeps the factory crash beam intact. It's all about that balance between power and safety.
Now, let’s talk numbers. This intercooler boasts over 300% more capacity than the stock unit. Yeah, you heard that right. The stepped core design maximizes both airflow and surface area, which means it dissipates heat like a champ—even when you're pushing your WRX to its limits. Whether you’re hitting the track or just cruising around town, you can count on consistent performance.
One of the coolest features? It fits snugly behind the factory crash beam and bumper cover, thanks to its lower core thickness of just 7.0" and a height of 13.50". You get all that extra cooling without sacrificing safety or having to mess with modifications. It’s like getting a performance upgrade without losing that factory look.
And if you’re worried about the windshield washer fluid, ETS has you covered there too. They’ve redesigned the filler neck for smoother charge pipe routing, complete with a billet connection and a slick wrinkle-black screw-on cap that matches the intercooler piping. Plus, it keeps the factory O-ring, so you won’t have to deal with leaks.
When it comes to piping, you’ve got options. The 2.5" piping is perfect for those looking for quick spool and excellent street drivability, supporting up to 750whp. If you’re planning to push beyond that, the 3.0" piping is engineered for maximum airflow—ideal for those serious builds.
Worried about boost leaks? The new throttle body adapter features a double O-ring design that guarantees a leak-free seal, no matter how much boost you’re running. And they’ve even relocated the ambient temp sensor to get more accurate readings by directing airflow right where it counts.
Want to make your intercooler stand out? ETS offers anodizing options in Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just keep in mind that while black gives UV protection, the other colors might fade a bit over time with too much sun exposure. And if you’re into aesthetics, you can opt for the ETS logo stenciled on the front—adds a bit of aggressive flair to your ride.
Each intercooler is pressure tested to over 50 psi, ensuring you get a leak-free performance right out of the box. It’s designed specifically for the Subaru WRX from 2022 onwards, so you know it’s a perfect fit.
In short, if you’re serious about performance and want to give your WRX the upgrade it deserves, this intercooler from ETS is a no-brainer.
