Description
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 result is much higher/hotter intake air temps, which then leads to timing reduction, knock, mis-fires, detonation, etc.
The ETS 2022+ 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.
NOTE
- This FMIC kit does REQUIRE an ETS Intake, it will not fit with the OEM Intake/Air Box
