centre decat is fine but the downpipe you will need a remap if you ever do that

PPP's dont like being decatted without some "minor" adjustments, like drilling out the restrictor plug, sounds like your car will be overboosting quite badly in this weather

Yeah that.

You may get away with it. You may not. 'Less restrictive for the turbo' = potential overboost. Key word potential. It might not happen but it is up to you to take the risk.

Still if it goes bang you'll know why.

I have 03 wrx ppp and fitted decat up pipe and prodrive sportcat down pipe. Car runs fine no overboosting, although will probably be better with a remap.
