Is a remap required???
Guys and girls I have recently had exhaust cats removed and have a ninja back box. The car has a green panel air filter and a dump valve, someone mentioned i should havecar remapped?! Is this the case?? Am i likely to cause any problems running as normal without a remap?? Cheers

Here we go again 
You will get answers ranging from "Get a Re-Map NOW at £700 or your engine will blow up tomorrow" to "Nah, don't bother - is it running ok? well there you go then - save your money!"
You pays your money ...... I suggest you have a chat with the Mechanics at your local Subaru Garage.

A UK MY97 should be ok. Just as well, as they can't be "remapped" like the newer models.They need the ECU cracking open and messing with (or an aftermarket ECU).
Just need to check its running stable boost and not spiking, a quick dyno run checking that its not going overly lean wouldn't do any harm. Pre '98 UK cars usually run fairly rich on WOT anyway.

yes that will need a remap ideally,,, otherwise whats the piont in fitting them if you get what i mean
BUT at the min get the car fueling checked !!!,,,,, on the road not a rolling road where its REAL airflow
if they fueling is fine on the datalog then dont worry,,,, if its lean then it needs doing or the boost lowering till its safe
