If you're looking to elevate your 2022+ WRX's performance, let me tell you about this intercooler from ETS. They were the first to roll out a front mount intercooler for the latest WRX, and trust me, they set the bar high. Fast forward three years, and they've really listened to what folks like us want. The result? A seriously impressive piece of engineering that not only gives you a noticeable boost in performance but also keeps that factory crash beam intact.

Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty. This intercooler boasts over 300% more capacity than the stock unit. Yeah, you heard that right. The stepped core design maximizes surface area and volume, which means it dissipates heat like a champ, even when you're pushing your WRX hard. Whether you’re tearing up the streets or hitting the track, you can expect consistent performance without the worry of overheating.

One of the coolest features is how it fits right behind the factory crash beam and bumper cover. With a core thickness of just 7.0 inches and a height of 13.50 inches, it’s designed to maximize airflow without any modifications. So, you get that killer performance upgrade while keeping everything looking clean and factory-fresh. Safety and style? Check and check.

Another neat addition is the custom ETS windshield washer filler neck. They’ve redesigned it for smoother charge pipe routing, and it comes with a billet connection that matches the intercooler piping. Plus, it retains the factory O-ring, so you won’t have to worry about leaks. It’s the little things that make a difference, right?

Now, depending on how you’re planning to build your WRX, you have some piping options. The 2.5-inch piping is perfect for quick spool and street drivability, supporting up to 750whp. If you’re aiming for more than that, the 3.0-inch option is engineered for maximum airflow—ideal for those serious about pushing their horsepower limits.

And let’s not forget about the throttle body connection. The new version features a double O-ring design, ensuring a leak-free seal no matter how much boost you're running. Bring on the boost, indeed!

They’ve also relocated the ambient temp sensor for more accurate readings, which is a thoughtful touch. Plus, you can choose from a variety of anodizing options—Black, Red, Blue, Gold, and Purple. Just a heads-up, the Black option is the only one that offers UV protection, while the others are more for show cars. Just keep an eye on that UV exposure if you want to maintain that fresh look.

Worried about performance? Each intercooler is pressure tested to over 50 psi, so you can hit the gas with confidence, knowing it’s built to last.
