to remove the intercooler remove all the little black hoses attached to it and loosen the clasp on that cracked hose as well as the same clasp on the top of the short hose that connects the intercooler to the intake manifold. Then undo the two bolts (one bolt on either side)and wiggle the intercooler up and to the right (away from the turbo and the intake manifold). Once you flip of the intercooler, the y-pipe should be pretty easy to take off. Install the intercooler in the reverse order, make sure you reattach all hoses

that one, along with any of the other y-pipes on the page will work

I thought that the STI intercooler has a different Y-pipe than the WRX?
