Does a Cat Back Exhaust help with performance? If so how much in a 1999 2.2L Impreza?

Hey man, sorry I couldnt meat up with you while i was home for X-mass...that snow was WAY crazy out where i live and made me park the subie and drive my dads tuck around :(
As for exhaust for the 2.2l I just got a 2 1/4" from the second cat back with a 18" magnaflow resonator into a 40 series flowmaster muffler and it sounds great so far! Im going to build a custom cat pipe off the header and tie it into the rest of the exhaust and then get those UEL headers off of RS25...

Well it wount be a HUGE gain but it will help you car breathe getting rid of all that small a$$ restrictive stock exhaust....if you havent seen the stock 2.2l single port headers...you will cry when you do :(
