I pulled my car out of storage cleaned it all up and got it licensed and put back on the full insurance. Been sitting pickled for almost little over a year. Did start it end of last summer. Didn't know how well the fuel preserver was going to work but seems to come through okay. Ran that all out and got some fresh stuff in. Thought the A/C might have leaked down but it's still real cold.

One good thing when you don't get the tabs the year you're supposed to get an emissions test, if you wait a full year until the beginning of a full year since expired you get to skip it when renewed plus one more year.

That's incorrect. 2002-2005 WRXs are one of the only few turbocharged Subarus in the USA that use catted uppipes. Subaru hasn't used a catted uppipe in over a decade from the factory because they've been known to break apart and get sucked up in to the turbo causing further damage. I'd say that's a big benefit.
Plus, it's not required by the government to have a cat pre-turbo.

There's absolutely no good reason for running a street car without a catalytic converter. Just no.

He still has the catalytic converter in the downpipe (assumption) and a stock downpipe has 2 cats. Performance catted downpipes have 1 cat. That's the one that matters because that's the one that catalyzes exhaust going out in to the atmosphere. The uppipe catalytic converter doesn't go out to the atmosphere. That goes in to the turbo. Deleting the uppipe cat doesn't mean he's running catless throughout the whole system.

By your logic, Subaru and many of these other manufacturers are doing the world an injustice by not having catted uppipes? No manufacturer uses a cat in the uppipe because of the issue of blowing the turbo. It's common knowledge to manufacturers and the government. It's why the super strict EPA doesn't require a cat pre-turbo. I mean.. even your 2007 FXT is running a catless uppipe. You are an offender as well.

What do you think fully catless means?

You don't need to bother making an assumption:

That's my bad. Whoops. I did miss that part.
But yea, I'm just saying that I think more people should make the uppipe catless as it can cause a lot more trouble than good.
I don't agree with catless downpipes for the street though.

Swapped doorcards with a friend. Now she has my blue inserts and I don't have to ruin them with new ones.

I love the Prodrive theme going on there!
I was doing something very similar when I had my GC too.
