Edit: found a good explanation of how to calculate the size, its somewhat generic but should work well if you can get some of the data on the core like the example shows from Spearco.

Yeah.. WRX people almost always go way too big on IC's. If the top mount wasn't in such a crappy position (on top of a hot engine bay) it would be probably of a all right size. I plan on going front mount.. but I have some things in mind different from the norm.
