Fed up with the persistent issue of heat soak? We completely understand your frustration!
It's high time to upgrade to an intercooler that has been specifically engineered for the 2015+ WRX, prioritizing top-notch performance. Unlike other manufacturers, we pride ourselves on the meticulous design of our cores, custom-tailored for each application. This unwavering commitment results in the absolute best-performing intercooler you can find in the market.
Our cores boast an ingenious configuration with offset and staggered internal and external fin packs. The external fin pack is densely packed to ensure maximum heat transfer, while the internal fin pack is less dense, promoting superior flow and optimizing overall performance. The true art lies in achieving the ideal balance between these two aspects, a feat we successfully accomplish for every application.
It's all too common for customers to be lured by cheaper alternatives. Unfortunately, these budget intercoolers come at a cost. Most of them employ a straight-through internal fin pack, resembling a tunnel rather than a splitter. Consequently, they yield significantly higher and hotter intake air temperatures, which in turn lead to adverse effects such as timing reduction, knock, misfires, and even detonation.
Introducing the ETS 2015+ WRX Intercooler, meticulously crafted to deliver outstanding performance!
The ETS 2015+ WRX Intercooler is designed to perform!
We start by strategically locating the inlets and outlets in the middle of the core, ensuring proper air distribution and optimal flow throughout. Each inlet and outlet undergoes meticulous hand porting to reduce turbulence and maximize airflow. In contrast, we've observed other manufacturers simply welding on a tube without deburring the inside, resulting in excessive turbulence that disrupts the smooth flow of air through the core.
The proof is in the results!

Quality Assurance
At Extreme Turbo Systems, we prioritize quality assurance and ensure that every intercooler undergoes rigorous testing. Each intercooler is pressure tested up to 50 psi, guaranteeing its structural integrity and reliability.
To maintain the highest standards, we have implemented a meticulous cleaning and inspection process for every product before shipment. This step ensures that you receive an intercooler that meets our stringent quality criteria.
During shipment, we take extra precautions to protect the delicate fins of the intercooler. We carefully cover and shield them to prevent any damage that may occur during transportation. This attention to detail guarantees that your intercooler arrives in pristine condition.
Furthermore, we take special care to seal the inlet and outlet tubes. This not only prevents any packing material from entering the intercooler but also serves as a barrier against debris during the installation process. This ensures that your intercooler remains free from contaminants, allowing for optimal performance.

Customer Reviews
ran the 3.5" on the stock turbo for a while. performed great. big FA build and upgraded to the 5". fitment is snug but still works with the bumper. you also need to purchase the right size couplers since the 5" core has bigger inlets/outlets. Cant wait to shove 40+ psi into this thing and see how she does. Of course, top notch customer service from ETS as well
Came really fast and part was correct highly recommend them
Everything cam when it said it would and it was packaged extremely well. I love the red anodized color. 100% recommend.
Love the look and fitment of this kit! The quality is absolutely amazing! Thank y’all for the great work!
Fitment is on point and quality is to match.
Great fitment on the front mount, bolts right up and clears the bumper as stated. Stock intercooler was a huge bottleneck when trying to break 300whp, this made a night / day difference. Rating based on the quality of the product, although there are some caveats which should be noted.
Few Notes:
2016 WRX Limited -
Required removal of crash beam and a bracket on the left + right side to fit intercooler / intercooler piping.
Without ordering the ETS Chassis Support Brace you lose the tow hook / ability to side mount your plate.
One of the horns I had to flip around / bend the bracket and reposition it (Its now behind the intercooler and facing the radiator.
Second horn (passenger side) I relocated it to where the DRL resistor was and spun the horn so I could reconnect the power adapter. The intercooler piping kit doesn't clear the horn and if you have fog lights some cutting of the bumper is required. This is hidden behind the fog light covers and is minimal.
