Depends on which system your after or a 2.5" or 3".
Plus the remap, which I guess is the 1st time, so you'll need to get a licence to enter the ecu :roll: .

The gains could be from 20/35 bhp depending on the exhaust system,
also a caik with give another 5/10bhp......but then when do you stop :lol:

To the best of my Knowledge a WR1 only has one Cat. and that's the prodrive sports cat. in the down pipe.

So a lot of money for a very small gain.
