Default How to tell the difference between WRX & STI intercooler?

Hi all,

Currently driving a blobeye WRX and am looking for the STI intercooler as an upgrade.

But how do I tell the difference between a WRX intercooler to the STI version?

Just dont want to be ripped off buying a WRX intercooler with STI sprayed on top of it...

Many thanks,
