Default Dump Valve - I want rid of it

Just bought a 2nd hand MY98 with PPP which is perfect in every way (touch wood) except that it has an aftermarket dump valve on it. I want rid of it as I think it sounds crap and I'm not a chav anyway.

Am sending it into a official Subaru garage next week but service people think that ECU may need to be remapped if the original part is refitted.

This doesn't make sense to me - but am after a 2nd opinion?

Finally, would taking the aftermarket dump valve off cause any problems? Does it benefit the car? I used to have a MY98 a few years back and I honestly can't see any benefit from having it at the moment.

Regards
James

peep's dont usually re-map there ecu for a dump valve seriously,personally i couldnt for see any problems as many a person has gone the other way and fitted a D/V without remapping so shouldnt be a problem

And hey,i have a D/V and i aint no chav innit

Thanks.

Chavness is in the eye of the beholder Saw some young kid on TV in a Kappa tracksuit recently, complaining about a local influx of Chavs that was lowering the tone in the area
