USDM TMIC on MY07 WRX

So, will a USDM STi TMIC fit on MY07 WRX? I've read that since the 06-07 WRX TMIC's are wider it bolts right up. Please let me know what you know that is fact, not guess

The only problem is that you will need to replace some of the Y-pipe hoses.
Check NASIOC for STi Intercooler. They have a good write up on the process.
Did this on a friends 06 a while back. Can't remember what size hoses were needed. I believe weended up triming some new hoses to fit.

This is the thread we used. Works great on the 02 and was the same on the 06.

No, the WRX air splitter/diverter is smaller. I get the full benefits of the STI TMIC you should buy an STI air diverter.

You can order them from Subaru for I think around $85. I have for FS btw!

Open your hood and it's that metal piece that is mounted up under your hood scoop. Has the rubber shroud around it. It basically curves down the air that enters the hood scoop so it'll hit the top mount properly.

The ZeroSports Air Splitter for the 02 STi Hoodscoop FITS PERFECTLY with on the 06-07, FYI.

Don't the aftermarket ones cost considerably more than stock?
