Default n e 1 running a WRX03 with full decat?

Hello

as above, any of you folks running the above system (presumably with a remap).

if so, what's the noise level like?

Cheers

I am running with the only cat being the TSL Thundercat downpipe, and i have the Ninja backbox, and i would not want any more noise. Burble is **** hot, especially when you go up the revs, but at say motorway cruising, the cabin intrusion can be annoying over long distances. This of course, is just imho.

thanks madass,

yep, like yourself, I'm happy with more noise but not too much. I guess the only way to control it is by re-introducing the cats or some form of silencer pipe...

how much power does your WRX put out with your system?

i HAVE 02 WRX mate, with FULL de-cat and de-resonated too. IMO sounds awsom but on motorways if it did get a bit annoying then put some music on. I hardly go on long runs though so not an issue for me.


The louder the better

Mine has been R/R at 268 bhp and 266 ib/ft. Pulls like f00k, but i still want more.
LOL. 5th gear is ****e i think even with that power. I always drop down to 4th still. But for what it is, it is very enjoyable.

Yep, running MY03 WRX with only a CAT in the uppipe (before the turbo). As a daily commuter in my car noise was a major consideration for me also.

After quite a bit of research I ended up doing something a little different. I wrote up my newage mods here.

Hope this helps.
