went up to the pod today to see what my standard blob wrx was getting, best was 13.7@98mph so really pleased with the way it running at the minute, lots of quick jap stuff up there, 9 second gtr's 10 second civics etc etc

 

Good time that fella with a standard blob WRX.

 

all its got is a 3" turbo back decatted mongoose system (oh and i tightened the actuator lol)

 

did you get it mapped after fitting the decat system?

 

not yet mate saving for an sti turbo and injectors before mapping, its running spot on and feels very lively

 

good luck then lol

 

what does that mean?

 

I think he means its best to get it mapped with the decat on or you could cause problems
Some say its fine and others don't
I did the same as you and waited for mapping............ I'm now rebuilding my engine :-(

 

how long did it last and what popped?

 

it's ok i have 6 months full warranty from a subaru dealership and you dont need to map a car because a cat has been taken out, or a re subarus not like any other car? i understand it best to map to make the most of the exhaust but why would it cause problems?

 

It lasted around 8 months and to be fair it was all track use.
It was a cracked piston

 

Where do we start pulling that post apart!

 

i started it moley........you can take the baton

 

Wont be long

 

Don't mind if I take the third pass guys lol

Here it goes, to the OP............ You no longer have a warranty from your main dealer!!!

Even if you had it mapped that would be the second reason why you would have no warranty, I would suggest either forgetting about a warranty and continue on but get it mapped as these cars really don't like change unless it's mapped or if you want the warranty I would suggest after the days drag strip event i would quickly take the exhaust off, refit the standard system and wait till your warranty runs out.

 

err no thanks, i'll risk it then, if it goes ill put in an engine myself

 

On WRX you should be OK drive with decatted exhaust,but I wouldn't advise to drag the car or track the car.Do you running decatted up pipe and other mods?If yes would say,keep off the boost until remap

If you have STI decatted exhaust can be costly without the mapping
