Negligable amount.

Change the cat pipe (£100), downpipe (£200) & remap (£650) & filter (£40) though and you'll have some big gains. (330/330 is within reach).

DCI:- Exhaust ordered and fitted from Special Scoobies (Colchester), theres some pics in the Gallery.

Insurance has been notified thanks, and any warranty queries are sorted by putting the old exhaust back on.

Unfortunately if the worst came to the worst, you won't be able to swap the exhaust back to standard.

If you had a failure, then Subaru Assist will take it to the nearest dealer who examines the car - bearing in mind this may not be your original "Mod Friendly" dealer.

Subaru do inspect all engine failures now, whereas before they would have accepted the dealers word.

Tread carefully I'd say.

I would say you may have increased the power by all of 2 or 3brake at the most

Thats all I would have thought 2-5bhp. So its removing the cats that give off most the power?.
Not that I was after more power, just wanted a proper Scoobie sound track, which I have now!.
