i recently bought a classic shape wrx jus had full exhaust system fitted with decat, and a hks induction kit, iv got a frount mount to fit but have been advised not to bother because of the lenth of thepiping?? can anyone help me with ideas with what to do next

 

What year wrx?
Also if it is one of the older 2 pot brake versions, id think about doing something with the stoppers, they use to cook on the 208bhp UK version cars so you can imagine what it would do with 260+bhp

What year is it? Pre 1996 then it depends on how far you want to take it, a scoobyecu from polar performance will take advantage of your current mods and boost power to about 280bhp simply by raising boost to 1.1bar and adjusting fueling and timing to suit. IF you want to go a step further then fit your front mount and 440cc (yellow) injectors from a more recent classic and then get an esl live map done on it. Be very carefull when fitting your front mount as its very hard to get a good seal, I think the secret is not to overtighten the clamps as this makes dents in the pipework and then you will never get it to seal (means the car is a dog to drive). I think lots of people think that FMIC's add lag simply because they are fitted poorly and not sealed well at the joints. A decent FMIC will not add significantly to lag.

Scooby ECU will be about £200, the second option will be about £200 for FMIC, 150-200 for flow checked 440cc injectors and about £500 for the esl live map including hardware and map. So about £1000 in total, should see you to 320bhp.
