i don't think the exhaust noise is too loud..it's certainly louder than the standard one but its not as loud as the engine when giving it some WOT unless you're going through a tunnel that is! 
for insurance, i'm with privilege and it fell into their 11%-20% performance increase band and cost me an extra 10% on top of my premium!!

Stop being cantankerous or you won't get another chance to raid my wine cellar
Written in a hurry, but yes I mean the PPP front centre section is straight through to replace the 2nd cat.....

DT-S, the JF man has a few points though
Forget peak boost, you can even argue if a peak really accomplishes something.
You can change - as you know - a)boost b)ignition c)fuelling d)VE e) match those ingredients into a sensible and coherent mix
No doubt the exhaust bit will take care of quite a few things, but yes, they must have upped the boost (not the peak per sé) to get to a higher BHP figure. Knowing Prodrive (that is, seeing the previous PPP's), they will have taken care to keep it safe both fuelling & ignition wise.
My point is ... erm... I wish I knew LOL
OK, point would be: Prodrive has tested that particular map with that particular exhaust etc... so he is right in saying that - with all respect - the starter of this thread is not actually talking about the PPP, but about a modded PPP.
You yourself have seen how exhausts can modify boost behaviour (in an extreme way) on the STi7. So his point is valid.
Just for my education... the turbo on the UK STi7, is that a VF30 or a VF35 ?

Hi mate
I wasn't questioning Felstie's novels regarding gas flow, but his pickiness regarding my clumsy wording of the second cat removal
He has a point, up to a point, but the rear centre section is effectively a straight through pipe despite having a resonator in it. Biggest benefit to swopping it for a non resonated one is more NOISE - luvverly
BTW, the UK STi turbo is a VF35.

There's only one STi7 with a "PRO300" plate on
