When you ask which one is better, what criteria are you basing your question on?

ARC makes a great one for the GD Impreza.

I think Signal Auto makes one in a size to fit our cars.

HKS also makes one.

aren't there, like, a lot of ways you could spend your money more wisely? before i go off, what other mods are you running? fmic looks cool, but unless you're going monster tune, i haven't heard of any benefit of fmic over tmic on the wrx.

I heard the greddy one is garbage as well really ineffiecent at any boost above 15psi. the MRT front mount is huge and looks really good. the turbo xs one is really nice also.

I think APS is the best- and can keep stock fog lights. Just go to the APS website and you'll see how cool it is!

I say that because the greddy and blitz FMIC's have horrible piping, way too many joints, are inefficient, don't fit well and are sub-par in quality and construction. I think there are much better intercoolers out there, granted most are $300-400 more, but you get what you pay for. I still think the best is either AVO or ARC.
