Decat need a remap ?

Hi i have a 1995 import WRX and am considering a decat pipe, if i fitted one of these would i need a re map to suit or would it still run safe without ?
thanks
Warren

it will be fine although to get the best out of it you would ideally need it remapped which involve a new ecu as the early ones arent mappable

you will get over boost after fitting the decat pipe. i fitted a boost controller until i got mapped keeps the boost at a safe level! but a remapp will be the best option
