Morning chaps,

Just got a quick question regarding the 2nd Cat.

If i was to replace it with a decat pipe would it affect any sensors and overfuell and start the cel light on the dashboard?

Its a 53 reg wrx completely standard, soon to have a prodrive backbox.

Thanks

 

I take it you mean the 2nd cat after the turbo (all pre MY06 newage WRX's have 3 cats IIRC - one on the up-pipe, one on the down pipe and one on the centre section).

If it's the cat on the centre pipe then you should have no problems... I replaced the one on my old MY02 WRX with no problems. I also replaced the backbox with a Prodrive one, like you plan to... you'll also want a remap too fairly soon! ;o)

I notice you're from Reading... JGM (aka Jolly Green Monster) is doing a mapping session at Subaru4U in Newbury at the end of June with potential for a group buy discount if there are enough people - if you're interested, let me know.

 

I had the second cat delete fitted on its own and had no issues, I sometimes get the P00042 (I think) CEL now I have the sportcat fitted but that will be mapped out when I get a remap.

Which brings me onto the next thing, what are the details on this group mapping session Gigsy?

 

cheers for the replies guys.

Gigsy - yes thats the one i mean't, attaches to the centre section. I didn't realise that the WRX's had an up-pipe?

Yeah the re-map will follow shortly but i have a wedding to pay for in June so that may be a bit soon. Or if the group buy is a good price then may have to file for a quick divorce ha ha

Keep me updated on the Re-map details and depending on the cost and date i may try and sneak it in!!

 

Remap are happening on 30th June (poss. 29th too if there are enough people). It's a 10% discount depending on numbers. Prices vary depending on what you need but if it's a new map with EcuTek license then that will be £495 + VAT (including the discount).

 

ok cheers.

Whens the latest i need to let you know by?

 

Not sure TBH as I only spoke to JGM yesterday... in the next two or three weeks I'd guess, depends how quickly the slots fill up.

 

ok no probs. I'll keep an eye out in the Group buy section
