Remap with just cat back exhaust
Hi all recently bought my uncles 52 bug eye wrx....he had a cat back exhaust fitted but that's the only modification on the car
I'm going to replace the standard panel filter but just wondering if it's worth having a remap with only these mods ?
Mostly I want it doing for drivability and if there are a few extra bro then it's a bonus but I don't really want to be doing de cats etc as I can't be arsed with farting around come the MOT
Any feedback would be great

Dude, its definitely worth it from better running and drive ability to increased grin factor.
I have an 03 WRX, with the same as you.
Standard is 'about' 221bhp & torques.
Mine is a similar spec to yours and after a visit from Duncan at RaceDynamix (others are available) its now 280bhp & 288 torques.
PPP will give you something but nothing like a custom remap.
Light & day to drive, not just better power, but better all around.
If you plan other mods (don't sound like it) then do the other mods first then map otherwise get on the phone to a reputable mapper and enjoy the grin..

I don't really plan on doing other mods as it can cause complications come MOT time removing cats etc so I'm really just looking at a re map

I am also running a cat back and K&N and making 280bhp on a custom map.
I dont want the hassle with MOT's too so putting an STI sports cat and STI up pipe on mine. Hopefully get a bit more BHP and more mid range. Will also make the turbo spool up quicker. And is MOT friendly

Mine has standard CAT in the downpipe (and up-pipe), so its standard besides:
1. CAT back exhaust system
2. Scrubber cat delete pipe (removes the small box under the downpipe)
3. Filter
4. Duncan @ RaceDynamix
Thought about going decat up-pipe (not an emission killer) and a sports cat, but IMHO it didnt warrant the hassle or cost for a few xtra...

Before hand I'm going to get the car serviced with good oil, change to K&N filter and gear box oil, may possibly do better plugs as well and a dump valve
Think the brake pads could do with a change so may as well do that before I get more power

Spoke to Duncan and hopefully it will be about 6-8 weeks before I'm ready to have it done
