Default Blobeye intercooler differences?

What is the difference between the Blobeye WRX and Blobeye WRX STI intercoolers.
I know the obvious difference is the STI one has a red STI logo on it but what else? Physical size? Shape?
Will they have part numbers (stamped or label) on them?
Thanks

Cheers Gambit but i was looking more for the differences between them if the were lying side by side. How to tell which one is which as it's possible to get rid of the sti logo on the sti one and spray an sti logo on the WRX one. So is one longer, fatter, slightly different shape.
Doing my own research I think the WRX one has 30 rows of fins and the STI one has 34 rows.
Can anyone confirm this?

i can confirm the sti one intercooler is longer than the wrx one if you have a wrx then have a looksy underneath the bonnet to the left hand side of the intercooler you will find another hole next to the intercooler this is so you can fit a sti one into your wrx hope this answers your question

The STi one is bigger and slightly longer that the WRX.
I know as I have changed my WRX to STi IC.
You will also need the y-pipe from the STi as well, as the WRX one is shorter.
Hope this helps.
