Moike? Ed? Adam? any tech people that could vouch for this?

Right now your car is not tuned for a high flowing exhaust so you might detonate a bit, with my 04 WRX I had detonation problems (sounds like gravel going through your exhaust) then once I got tuned it went away. The STi has its obvious differences from the WRX though and I am sure the ECU configuration is different.
What you may even want to do is see if an 04 ECU will work with your car( https://www.i-club.com/forums/norcal-classifieds-96/us-sti-ecu-102748/ ) and if it does, keep your stock ECU and install the other one and have a reflash put down on that.
That way if you ever have to take it in to the dealership its easier to get back to stock.
I would have done it if I could.
