Thank u that is a massive help and I'm now relieved it seems all the pipe work is correct! 1 more question, what is the advantage of a resonator delete and where do u get them from?

best to give the day to do it properly if youve never attempted to do one before, i done my 4th for my mate last weekend, took best part of a day to do but i didnt rush wanted a good fit etc. oh and i never had to remove wing or cut nething when i done it does mate it akward, and can sctrach the pipe work a tiny little bit but lets face it u cant see pipe work in the wing/bumper area... i dont know if you already know that you will need an induction kit as the air box with no longer fit, and a change of dump valve ...

I which case you can blank it off without issue IMHO this is my TMIC set up on my WRX as atm I am not going down the FMIC route like I have with the wagon Are you mapping the car post mods ?
Also with any resonator delete make sure you still have a return for the Idle Reg Valve and the APC (solenoid) pipe on the OEM resonator the APC is the small 5mm ID (IIRC) pipe which fixes to the box on a small plastic join that always snaps off. The IRV connect the otherside of the box and is a much bigger pipe.
