I was looking at my friends WRX and noticed the Top mount on his is a bit bigger than mine.I was wondering if anyone has looked into using a bigger TMIC?I would like to keep the sleeper look with a top mount and hood scoop.Just keep the IC out of plain view.

Waste of money imo, they are expensive and still in a horrible location...

if you have it ducted they work fine, they will heat soak though

Anything inside the engine bay is going to heat soak.

also keep in mind that a wrx is a top to bottom style core, not really all that efficient. If you want stealth go with a medium sized FMIC and spray the front of it black.
