You have the size of the 04 STI?

Not sure why you wouldn't put in a NEW heatercore, because you have to take the whole dash out to replace it. Major PITA. Why waste all that time/effort only to have the change the used core will go bad next year?

I would venture to guess it's not going to be a direct swap.
