Lancasters of 7oaks have fitted a Graham Goode sports cat downpipe for me today on my 02 WRX with PPP and full exhaust turbo back.

What a shock the car is much quicker and there is so much more torque.

Does anyone know what the average gain are for this type of mod as the car feels so much faster right up to the red line.....

Also they were fitting there first STI ppp today they had 2 delivered yesterday..

Who's the lucky owner and what do you think ??

Medway1, Tell us a bit more on your upgrade, like how long did it take, price etc, Sounds like my next mod.

PS What about the Warranty.

Graham Goode reckon at least 10bhp.

I've got one, and noticed a definite increase in torque higher up the rev range, too. (PPP ECU fitted)

Downpipe replacement took 90 min to do, this was carried out by my local Subaru dealer Lancasters of Sevenoaks.

Cost of the downpipe £399+VAT from Graham Goode Racing in Leicester.

Fitting £80

Dealer says the warranty is unaffected as far as they are concerned because ive still got a cat.

Not only does it go alot better it also sound much nicer, lots of wastegate & turbo noise and so much more torque

Also the downpipe includes the front(small) center section thats replaced on the ppp.

Bought my first Impreza from Lancasters about four months ago...I was very impressed with their attitude and help , shame I don't get the same impression from my local dealer
