Tired of heat soak? We don't blame you!  

It's time to upgrade to an intercooler that is designed specifically for the 2015+ WRX with performance in mind.   Unlike other manufacturers we design all of our cores per application, which results in the absolute best performing intercooler on the market.

All of our cores feature an offset and staggered  internal and external fin pack.   The external fin pack is dense for maximum heat transfer, where the internal fin pack is less dense for maximum flow and performance.   The key is finding the perfect balance between the two, which is what we do per application.    

It's common for customers to be drawn to cheaper alternatives.   Unfortunately those intercoolers are cheap for a reason!   Most cheap intercoolers utilize a straight through internal fin pack, which acts more like a tunnel than a splitter; This results is much higher/hotter intake air temps, which then leads to timing reduction, knock, mis-fires, detonation, etc.

The ETS 2015+ WRX Intercooler is designed  to perform!  

  • We start by locating the inlets and outlets in the middle of the core, which allows for proper air distribution and flow throughout the core.  
  • Each inlet and outlet is hand ported to reduce turbulence and promote maximum flow.   We've seen other manufacturers simply weld on a tube and not debur the inside, which creates excess turbulence and disrupts air flow through the core.  

Features

    • Massive 26"  wide intercooler core - Designed for maximum heat transfer and minimal pressure drop
    • Core Size: 26" Wide, 11.37" Tall and 3.0", 3.5", 4.0" or 5.0" Thick.
    • Precision tig welded construction
    • Lightweight end tanks design
    • Hand ported inlet and outlet for optimal flow
    • ETS logo stenciled on intercooler.

Options

    • Available in 3.0", 3.5", 4.0" and 5.0" core thickness.
    • Core Anodizing Options - Blue, Red, Black, Gold, and Purple.

Quality Assurance

    • Every intercooler is pressure tested to 50 psi
    • Every product is cleaned and inspected prior to shipment.    
    • Fins are protected/covered during shipment to prevent damage.
    • Inlet and outlet tubes are sealed to prevent any packing material from entering the intercooler as well as keep debris out during install.

3.5" FMIC in silver with stencil

I installed this FMIC on my wife's 2019 Subaru WRX. I also installed the ETS FMIC piping kit in standard black finish. The install was fairly easy. The FMIC had a little damage on the back side of the fins but nothing worthy of returning. The piping kit is pretty straight forward to install but would have been much easier with instructions. ETS customer support was very helpful though and sent me the instructions via email.
Things I would like to point out: both side support structure pieces need to be removed, they ship parts for relocating your washer reservoir which really helped, your BPV is moved from the turbo inlet to in front of the passenger front wheel, and your vacuum line from the BPV connects to a rigid pipe on the right front of the engine where the old BPV vacuum line used to connect.
