Is it safe to run a 3" decat exhaust with standard ecu map
I am considering a 3" turbo back decat exhaust for a MY06 STI UK. Would the standard map cope ok without running lean/rich or detting ? I will definately get it remapped more more power, but only after the warranty runs out.
Any idea what power it would get with the exhaust only and no remap ?

If you're taking away the DP cat, you might get problems with boost spiking on a UK STi IIRC. What is pretty much certain is that you'll get only minimal gains without the remap as the ECU will be trying to maintain the status quo.

I would say it's not safe unless checked for det. If the boost spikes sufficiently high the knock control will be turned off where it's needed most. Proceed with caution.
