On the newage cars there is catalytic convertor before the turbo and one after the turbo. To unleash the most power, you need to change both up pipe and downpipe. I also understand that this must be accompanied with remap of the ecu.

I think you will find there are 3 cats, including the up-pipe, if it is anything like the Bugeye WRX. Downpipe, centre cat and up-pipe.

If it's not an STI I'd say there's 3 cats too.

People seem to forget there's a centre cat in there on the later cars. My MY00 classic had a cat in the centre section too. I've heard a lot of people say it's a resonator but it's deffinately a cat as I had a good look in there
