Or you can use the nipple that the dark red line goes into on the Y-pipe next to the CRV.

once you reach full boost, the stock intercooler doesnt really act as a bottle neck like some might think. it more affects immediate response and possibly a bit of lag at low boost levels compared to a nicer free flow through design.

Another possiblity is no pills in the wastegate lines - supposed to be 8psi, but creeping to 10 .

Boost creep with a stock main cat? That's really odd. I'd say your situation is more unusual than the reverse (having no boost creep without a cat).
Her midpipe muffler is a straight through Magnaflow.

With just the intake and catback (with centre muffler fitted) mods, how much power do you think my car can make running on stock boost? Do you think 190-200 hp is normal?

The 220s is typical for stock. It can vary a lot from car to car. I've seen 255 RWHP on a bone stock FD after the owner packed the intercooler with dry ice.

I got it dynoed with Dyno Dynamics Dynamometer *well at least that's what it said on the printed out paper*. It came up with 189.2 hp ATW. I'm a bit worried with this figured coz the car had just gone through full service (spark plugs,fuel filter,oil filter,etc2). I'm assuming it's either the dyno giving low figures, possible boost leak (2nd this coz i asked the mechanic to inspect the car when i dropped her), or perhaps the centre muffler?

Dyno Dynamics reads about %15 lower than a Dynojet, which means his 190 ~ 220 rwhp on a Dynojet. That is about 20 hp on the low side for a fresh tuned-up FD with intake and cat-back.
There are many factors that can result in a lower output levels on a dyno....but I would definitely give the car a good look over. Are you sure you're hitting 10 psi, Kuning?

I totally agree with the suggestion about upgrading to FMIC, but aside from that, few other things such as Pulleys, Lightweight Flywheel, Voltage Stablizer, and LSD are smaller things (besides LSD), but they'll will definity noticeably increase your WHP.

I seriously doubt it's a restriction problem with the stock IC. If that was the case, you'd see LOTS of FD owners with stock ECU's and intake/exhaust not spiking and running a nice 10psi. That's just not the case.

Just to help put the Dyno dynamics dyno in perspective...
My S7 got 147rw KW stock standard in shootout mode on the dyno dynamics
Absolutely no mods to the car...18" heavy rims (Robbing power), mildly restricted cat (Blocked) and only running 6psi boost on the secondary turbo (Vacuum hoses stuffed)
147rwkw = approx 197rwhp....
With the 2nd turbo boosting to around 8psi (10-4-8) I got 161rwkw = approx 215rwhp.
Hope that helps with that ultra low Melbourne result..
