going w/sti tmic. what hoses should I get?

I recently ordered an sti tmic. I figured since I'm going to have the ic out I may as well replace some hoses while I'm in there. I've heard you can get some nice power gains with those polyurathane hose kits. Any recommendations?

it isnt necessary to replace the sti hoses if it already comes with them. they are still better than the stock wrx hoses. but if you do decide to replace them, i perfer samco hoses. a perfect fit all the time.

the hose for the sti top mount ic is completely differnt. if it comes with the sti hoses, you dont need to upgrade. they are nice enough already. if it comes with the y pipe but no hose, you will have to fab a hose to connect the ic to the throttle body.
