Default Major Probs on Decat?

Hi, any help is appreciated as I am bit concerned.

Had a full decat on my 03 WRX.

When accelerating hard out of tight corners, I get a vibration through the steering wheel and a vibrating noise.

This subsides if I back off the power or straighten the wheel. Accelerating full bore in a straight line has no affect.

I wondered whehther one of the exhaust components was vibrating when on lock but I cant see why this would happen.

Well, what have you just changed?
Would suggest a poorly fitted exhaust, maybe broken mounts or brackets along it's length.

Chack that the pipe is not touching the chassis or bulk head or it might even be touching the cross member that the steering rack is mounted in.
