Thumbs up full exhaust system 2.5 wrx

Just bought a full de cat for my 2.5 wrx, is it safe to fit before i get it remapped and would fitting a decent panel filter at same time be worth it. Thanks

Generally on classics you can fit a decat exhaust system without any major hiccups or issues - I have done so on three classic Imprezas.

But...

On newage Imprezas (2.5wrx leads me to believe it's a Hawkeye), there can be issues, engine lights etc. Why? Not 100% but presume it's the ECU/sensors as a combination.

I'd personally get it mapped just after fitting the exhaust to be safe. Panel filter should be fine regardless AFAIK.

Unless any underlying issue with your engine I'd say (from personal experience) it should be fine.
