I think I wrote my other post a little wrong.

I recommend the protune after you get the downpipe and uppipe put on.

Cool

I guess that Subaru lied to me when they sold me the 06 and it had a cat in the up-pipe. Maybe they put the 06 grille on my car or something.
The STi does not have a cat, but I just checked again and, hold on, yep still a cat in the up-pipe.

Oh, and the reason I think they have one is because I can see one. I will post a picture once I get one of the up-pipe.
Maybe calling a service shop would clear this up.

I just learned a big thing on the 06. The cat that I saw is the start of the downpipe. I will walk around with my head down in shame for about 5 minutes then find something else to be schooled on.

I guess the only really way to unn00b yourself is to get taken to school every now and again.
