Default A bit of advice regarding DE-cat

Hi Guys
I spoke to Nate and Fraz at the tunnel run & asked if they knew why my flamer's not working.
Turns out there's three cats on a WRX, (Bug eyed) there's an extra one before the turbo.

Does anyone know what the pipe I need to replace this cat is called?
Hopefully by the time the next tunnel run comes I may have some flames

Cheers in advance
Paul.

PS Fantastic tunnel run. Especially blackwall

I think we should all do it again next week.

Where did you get your flamer from they should have advised you that a full decat is required... you may get away with just de-cating the down and center pipes, most flame with the Up-pipe cat still in place

A VTA dumpvalve is also required

Ebay.
Got a VTA dump valve, also DE-cated the down and center pipes.
Got a good spark from the plug, just no flames.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I need to fit my new turbo & intercooler, so fitting an "UP PIPE" at the same time shouldn't be much harder.
