the sti splitter should fit just fine. you might also want to get the bellows for it while you are at it.

take the rubber trim piece off the bottom of the splitter when you get it on if you have a bigger TMIC. I would either leave it off, or go get some weather stripping (like the DIY front lip stuff) from HD and put it along the outside edge of the I/C. That way, you're getting the most airflow through the blades of the I/C...
