the only things that would help are a decat exhaust and a remap. the rest is a waste of money and potentially damaging to the car.

If it's a full decat, then you'll need a remap. If it's just the second section decat, then you won't, but a remap will bring out the best from it.

Nothing wrong with Green air filters BTW, but do agree on not changing the DV (unless you like the chav image).

If it's a full decat, then you'll need a remap. This is essential if you make these changes to protect the engine

Hi I've got a freeflow panel filter decat down pipe and straight through center section on my 02 WRX.
Driven it like that for nearly 2 years no probs - also run on standard unleaded. You will hear lots of scare stories and old wives tales on here

you dont "need" a remap after fitting a full turbo back decat exhaust but it may give you some more power, the engine will be fine without it.

Do not get a dump valve unless you have a 15 year old bird and eat at mcdonalds !!


decat system will be fine with filter although k&n or STi will be good too

You dont needs a remap although 100 others will now post saying You MUST or your engine will blow up and you wont go to heaven etc and the same people will also tell you santa isnt real too !!!

You don't need a remap but it would be beneficial. Watch for overboost problems if you do decat without a remap.

What problems would you face if you do get over boosting?

You can injure your cheek muscles from prolonged grinning

It seems to have been reported that sti's and P1's would detonate a bit from a decat, being a bit close to the edge anyway.
