Altight guys, what damage can be done to an 03 wrx standard if i put an induction kit and a cat back exhaust on without having it remapped!

Cat back exhaust won`t need a remap, but am sure an induction kit will as it`ll cause the motor to run lean.

What would even be the point in fitting things that in the long term are going to damage the car and give very little performance gains without the appropriate remapping. Stupid question IMO I'm afraid

induction kits dont work well on an impreza fella.
take it back and get yourself a decent panel filter

Iv got a k&n panel filter, I have brought nothing yet!
Stupid question but you don't know till you ask nit everyone knows all bout these cars!

Next time I'll google it!

You'll either be fine, but not really see any gains or your car will Sh*t itself.

Cat back is generally not a problem to the cars running. Induction kit is definately not recommended however, so stick to your panel filter. In terms of performance a remap is the only way to extract decent amounts of power!

Hope this helps,

A good panel filter and a cat back exhaust is a good start if your looking for a little more noise and power. I've never had any problems with the car since and still continue to ad mods for power gains.

Aye, you do that, and 99% of the hits will be here, the other 1% will be wrong.

Best to get off your high horse and ask.

sorry i did miss that sometimes i got a CELL light on but that was down to crap supermarket fuel, i always use Shell and both passed MOT not sure about the one i have now but i will see

why not get it mapped on the stock exhaust and dont bother spending on the cat back or induction kit probably wont be that much more expensive.
my sti5 on its stock exhaust and DP made 319bhp after andy forest mapped it.
Unless that is you want a louder exhaust an are happy with the power - if so forget what i just said!!

Ver.4

Sounds impressive ginger321 . is that on a standard engine? what ecu did you use?

I have a sti5 that i am looking to get mapped but it has a sports panel filter and a 3" decatted exhaust turbo back. Would i be looking at around the same figure aswell?

ginger321

my last sti 5 had a sports catted downpipe and a 3" hks hi power and made 334bhp and
the 311lbs of torque plus the panel filter and walbro that my current one has.
ok ive lost out on the top end gains that the exhaust gave me of 334 vs 319bhp but i got the same torque nearly 600rpms earlier than with the big bore exhaust plus im saving on ear plugs as the sports downpipe an hks exhaust was wayyyyyyyyyy too loud for me

Just mapped via ecutek on the stock ecu

Yes he did and he admitted he didn't know which was why he asked, Which is why most people ask questions

Myles and wild pikey thanks guys! Other people on here don't understand a question, thought everyone was meant to be helpful obviously just a selected few

Its the induction kit that would be the worry. Most lean the car out to such an extent as to make them run iffy at best and very dangerous to the engine at worst.

Stick to the panel filter if you are not wanting a remap - there are no gains to be had on a bug wrx with induction kit over a good panel filter anyway so save your money

I've ran a decat for 9 years with no remap and no problems

Induction kit NO No leave the panel filter in ..

The reason I wrote what I did.

I'm not averse to people asking, I spend hours on here typing replies.

I am, however, averse to those who don't LIKE the replies they get posting shirty replies themselves.

Agreed, you don't always get the answer you want, or written quite as politely as you might want.

BUT: take into account that a) these are human beings typing the answers, who MAY have had a bad day, b) some of us have typed the SAME answer many, many times, and often had derision poured on us for saying what we do, and c) you might have got a quicker answer without the strop by doing a quick ten minute search on here.

HTH.

sounds like you were the one having a strop bud? im a n00b as well and these forums are invaluable for us guys just starting out. guys like yourself with a wealth of knowledge are a god send in answering questions but if u arent in the mood to answer because of a bad day at the office or whatever why bother at all? plenty of other knowledgeable guys responded politely.
