One for the Subaru boys about decats

Gents,
I am looking at getting a centre section replaced with a decat section. (My car is a 99 UK Turbo) Will this cause any ECU issues, dash lights or running shennanigans I should be aware of before I spend my hard earned?
I am undecided, but if it's hassle free mauy well do it.
Thanks in advance and happy new year
Rob

Decat centre shouldn't do any harm.
Probably worth going straight into a 3" just for future proofing

Bloody hell Gerry, that was quick!
Thanks, I've got Dr Greenthumb's old stainless 3" back box already, so I'll keep an eye out for a sensible centre to go with it.
Again thanks!

No probs Rob.
Insomnia is your friend
Actually, it's Liz's birthday tomorrow and I've had to wait for her to clear off to bed so I could wrap her pressies.
A good memory is also your friend :roll:

its a slippery slope

What do you do come MOT time? Bolt the old stuff back on???? I was going to keep one at least for the mot.
And going too far down the modded route will make the insurance interesting......
