What power am I likely?
I know a lot of people ask this and I'm not expecting a definate answer.
I have WRX 1994 IMPORT, 67,000 miles on the clock, it had a new cambelt at 61,000 and is very good condition. Standard it's supposed to push out 240bhp which I think we all know, but it has a massive exhaust system from the down cat-back, middle cat has gone. I'm guessing 3.5" system.
Q1. What sort of power increase is this likely to give me from 240bhp?
Q2. Likely power increase with a decat down pipe + STI Panel filter?
I hope someone could give me a rough estimate, I get friends etc asking me how much power it is, and I say 240bhp, but I think the exhaust brings it up a bit.
thanks!

the 240bhp is on a new car with 100RON fuel in it, I think in all honesty the centre decat and backbox may give you another 5/10 bhp, the downpipe and filter may give another 10/15bhp all in all it ought to counteract the fact your car is older and will more than likely be down on power from when it left the factory
