This may be a daft question but does a firestorm box have any benifits over a prodrive box in terms of power & reliability.

Depends on how loud you like 'em.

In reality, I can't see a backbox making much difference to power. Both are stainless steel IIRC. The firestorm is a tad on the loud side, so do hear one before you buy - but it might be just what you're looking for ?

The Prodrive back box is a bit quiet, but the firestorm is loud and sounds awesome. Especially with a straight through centre section.

I have an my03 wrx with ppp & i've just replaced the prodrive back box with a firestorm.

Dont feel any different power wise but then i didn't expect it to.
The BIG difference is the sound, even just ticking over it brings a smile to your face.

I had the performance & now i've got the boxer roar to go with it. Not neighbour friendly but i dont like mine anyway.

I've took my Firestorm off and put on a Prodrive BB

Firestorm is great, but a bit tedious on a run
