what HP if WRX came stock with no UP cat.?
From what I hear, people at teh track with stock WRX's normally do mid 14's if they are descent drivers, and Car and Driver rated the WRX at 14.1.
MY QUESTION is what 1/4 mile time or HP rating would the WRX be at if it didnt have the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad CAT in the uppipe?
Wouly if be more towards 240HP and a 13.8-13.9 1/4 with an expert driver?

This being a hypothetical question, then I suppose my hypothetical answer would have to be "thereabouts". What is positively certain is that the WRX will have more HP, more torque, and a faster 400m time. Now what I wonder is if anyone has conducted this experiment yet: just replacing the uppermost cat with standard piping and nothing else -- stock otherwise. Let us know!

Our uppipe with no other mods is worth about 10 whp. Couldn't tell you how that translates to the 1/4, but I imagine the difference would be noticeable enough considering the faster spooling.
