removing the uppipe cat makes a difference adds a nice gain in power. Its safer too, because you won't get cat debri flying into your turbo.

I believe the up pipe makes the most difference out of removing the three cats!

I had heard from someone that the STi's factory up-pipe wasn't restrictive and didn't need to be removed.. Is that true??

The STi up pipe has no cat in it, but some say the heatshield welds come apart. If I had an STi, I would leave it be.
