Default A few tuning questions regarding my wrx wagon

Hi all, iv been looking at starting to up the performance of my 95 wrx wagon, iv already gone for an afterburner vortex backbox, green panel filter, and hybrid mbc. Am i right in saying that i have 2 cats on the rest of the exhaust system and if so which is the most reccomended 1 to remove and replace with a decat pipe?
Also what would be the best way of going about getting my ecu chipped/remapped?

Chips are done by www.enduringsolutions.com or do a search for Scott T as he deals with chipping of ecu (£200).
A remappable ECU is obviously way more expensive but it does depend on how much you want out of the car for remappable ecus do a search on google or here for Zen performance,Andy forrest,Jolly green monster,Powerstation, TSL (to name just a few)

The esl chip can be fitted to any pre 96 car just email them with what you want from the car (powerwise).
Not too sure about cats as my 93wrx only had 1 in the downpipe and a silencer in the centre section.

well i contacted andy through ebay to get his thoughts on what id realisticly achieve installing an esl chip, which leaves me pondering if i should do the same regarding the scoobyecu chip...mind you from what iv read on various threads their isnt much to choose between the two.
Still would like some more advice regarding cat's ect

Talking Got my esl chip!

Well i taken some handy advice and listened to what andy at esl had to say regarding a remappable esl chip.. should be fitted tomorro as iv had it soldered in tonight yay!
Just hope all goes well, also looking at fitting a de-resonated centre section to give my afterburner some more grunt!
Fingers crossed il be runnin at about 1 bar midrange which should be plenty enough for me for now

Thats good to hear might be worthwhile thinking of uprating the fuel pump (about £80)
