Classic STis only have two tiny little ones either side of the rad, not a full undertray anyway. (At least mine has and I assume it's standard).

Removed mine more than 5 years ago after the headers as above melted them. Havent had any problems. do make sure the gearbox cover is removed or clipped up properly as that may catch some drag.

My undertray ways a little wobbly but after a clip and 4 of the plastic rivets the remaining screws hold it on we'll. I figure if Subaru fitted it here is a pretty good reason so I vote on keeping it.

My engine under tray was removed at a previous service and, apparently, replacing it was forgotten. I'm now wondering if it is worth going back to get it refitted.

I wrapped my headers because they started to melt my undertray but kept the tray because it works with the bonnet scoop to direct airflow back over the gearbox for cooling.
