Davie if its just cat back no it won't need a remap mate. If its decatted that's when you'll need a remap to get the most out the mod. Hope this helps

Its ok mate, I'm pretty sure as you'll only be replacing the mid section and back box so assuming all cats will still be in place there should be no need to map. I imagine when you change the downpipe removing the cats then it will need mapping sure someone will be along to correct me if I'm wrong

to get the most from the system then yes it will need mapping,as for safety i would say no it wouldnt need a map,i have just changed my miltek system to a non-resonated system cat back with a japspeed backbox and i havent had it remapped-runs fine no problems/warning lights etc on my 04 wrx

Not a lot I think mate, probably just smooth things out. If your considering a remap i would collect all the bits needed and bolt on before the map session.

Full decat from turbo back
Decat up pipe
Good panel filter
Uprated fuel pump
3 port boost solenoid

Should see some decent gains also will be the most cost effective way too

Blitz Nur spec are bloody loud! I have just fitted one to mine! They aren't cat back as they remove the centre cat. A real Nur spec is a 3" then mates to the 2"5 downpipe

Blitz is a 3" which tapers down to a 2.5" at the downpipe mate so provinding you don't have a a 3" down pipe where it meets it'll go straight on. I put mine on and drove it for a month without a tweak. Hope this helps

The 2.5" and 3" pipes normaly have the same size flange so they will bolt straight together
