OK, this is the one you showed in that Subaru link, as fitted to my old WRX:
You can see the obvious oval section - compare to the round section on the one Phil Stephens has shown. This is the stamp on the top to prove it's the WR Sport one:
The PPP ones say "Prodrive" IIRC.

All the pictures are showing you what the PPP backbox looks like, i.e. a round exit not oval as used on the WR Sport backbox.
As Phil and everyone else has pointed out that exhaust in your link is the WR Sport version. The picture is not squashed, it's not in widescreen, neither has the backbox been run over - it is oval!
If you want the PPP backbox (the round one
) take a look in the Classifieds section or eBay as they appear for sale from time to time.

You can get the equivalent to PPP backbox from Scorpion, being as they make them.
The specs are slightly different as to tailpipe diameter i think, but you can still get the same box. My old one was the same round box, but you wont of course have the Prodrive etching on it if you get it from Scorpion.
Either way, they still pish. Get a Ninja or a Group 'N' from TSL, or something of better sound and than that. And of course, not forgetting Haywood and Scott.

Well thanks a lot guys for this implacable demonstration of the difference between an oval and a round, I'm really sorry to have doubted it. Moreover I love your pictures.
Indeed I'm interested! I've PMed you already.

Hey Meridian, your WR box seems to look the business, but how does it sounds? Any power increase?

Oh and hopefully with it being a Subaru product it will not effect my warrantee.

So my mates tell me
And yes, my car too spools up quicker! It has to, it cost me money, therefore it must work! LOL
I agree with ukjesters: the WR Sport box is fine. There's no extra power, but a much better noise than the WRX twin pea-shooter at least. IIRC it's also slightly louder than the STi backbox as well.

I'm abit confused....................
When I bought my WRX I had a dealer fitted stainless exhaust which has an OVAL exit pipe but has PRODRIVE engraved across the top
I think both the PPP and WR have Prodrive engraved on them now.
Its a WR Sport one I think, but sounds a hell of alot better than the standard

Okay, I think I may have found some new elements to add to this thread!
I start thinking that the WR Sport and the PPP backbox are the same one thing, only the shape of the exit seems to differ.
The proof here?:
