Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

Can I remove the catalyzer?

Can I remove the catalyzer?

I have a n/a Impreza RX, 2.0, 130HP, and once I heard that removing the catalyzer I can improve some HPs. Is it true?
Regards

Marco

Marquito removing your catalitic converter will give you more exhaust flow and give you more performance cause they are restrictive like hell. You can also get a hi-flow catalitic converter that performs almost the same as not having one .

its a cheap and easy fix. you might throw CEL depending on your OBD, but if you can do it id suggest it. just get a pipe that fills the gap.

whever the hell gave you the warp piping info should get run over by a honda for stating that..
