You will need for cold air matey Remap at least,but for exhaust too.

Run off the boost until remap if you want have your WRX little bit longer,because this can cause serious and expensive damage at the end(rebuild is not cheap).

Like he said mate - unfortunately you can't just chop and change parts without letting the car's ECU know.
It's setup to perform with the parts it came with out of the factory.
If you change those parts, the car's various sensors will pick up the change and flag it as a fault; if you've fitted a sports cat without remapping the car, then as jura says - get it mapped ASAP as you can end up running too lean and expensive damage will result.
