you should be ok with a full decat, high flow pannel filter, ported headers, bigger top mount,,. if you do these though get it on a dyno to check the fuelling ect to be on the safe side,.

cheers for that addi, would a uprated fuel pump be worth adding?

Uprated fuel pump is always a good idea, I would go for a catback though, if going catless would probably need a remap.

I would say with that amount of changes you'll need a remap 99% of the time.

Sorry to hijack the thread mate I have a 94 wrx with the above mods ie decated exhaust panel filter arc top mount and yea dyno run after is a must! It's alot cheaper than rebuilding an engine lol.

Surly tho if the engine is not tuning as it should shouldn't the safety features in the ecu ie fuel cut and knock sensor come in to play? Thought I would put it out there as I'm fairly new to Subaru my self and you here so many different things, once again sorry for the hijack
