TMIC is good for keeping the lag down. The negative is that it gets more heat soak
than a FMIC and is easier to install.

A FMIC has the benefit of all the frontal air of the car. So it gets better cooling. Stick your head out the window like dogs do Modifications to the car will have to be done to make them fit. You can achieve high horse power levels but you sacrifice spool up time, but a good tuner can take the lag out.

Gday guys, was just wondering if changing the tmic 'y' pipe is worth changing to an after market? Is the much power, torque or response gains??? I have an 07 sti aswell.....

I would doubt you would see a difference at all. My understanding is the STI one is already a semi performace part, made out of solid metal & silicon pipe. Well its different to the WRX one, with the expansion sections & made out of plastic.

I would just leave what you have. Unless there is adifference on the 07 model I am unawre of.
