make sure it comes with the sti y-pipe, and you will have to get a new throttle body hose because the stock wrx one is too short to fit with USDM sti TMIC

for the fitment you will need a new y-pipe because the STi is a little short for the WRX turbo. Also, dont forget to get a new gasket.

When you say "new", do you mean modified or an aftermarket piping kit?

i had one from another intercooler, but you will probably need to buy a new set. the STi is about 1/2 inch to short. if you can modify a pipe its up to you, but I would buy one.
