Not sure who made it, but it looks barely bigger than stock.

it's acutally over twice the size and has metal end tanks. It's pretty nice.

So HKS it is?

That's cool, since I got it for a wicked deal.

Looks like a "custom" shop-built unit, judging by the welds and various parts on it.

I would be with cptpain, but the wrx has plastic tanks too. Is there a picture of the other side? The sti tmic has squared off end tanks.
