Sell STI y-pipe and use a Samco y-hose with a coupler.

Or StylinMotors.com. Plus they have a sale going on if your code NASIOC you get 30% off. can't beat those savings. think it ends today though.

. There was a post someone made that was on to something, about tilting The TMIC with spacers and alittle bit longer bolts and for them this cooled their TMIC alot faster (keeping stock TM splitter)?? And by the looks of the STi's Splitter it looks like itdouse that job couse it has that added wing in the center of the intake area wich would be like tilting the the TMIC to get a better full cooling?

I think I mite be just thinking to hard.

. Or this could be the loop hole to save 80-90 dollars after STi's TMIC install?

I still have the WRX splitter over my STI TMIC. Haven't had any problems. Car doesn't feel heat soaked unless I get stuck in traffic for a while.
