Advice on upgrading.
Hi there.
I'm thinking of adding a couple of mods to my MY03 WRX STI. What I would like to do is add a blow-off valve and an Afterburner exhaust. I need something that will be easy to fit and remove.
Which valve do you guys recommend? I'm looking for something that it easy to fit and give's a great whoosh noise. Price range of about £150 to £200.
I'm tempted to get an Afterburner exhaust, since I hear that they are specially made to fit Subaru's. I'm not looking for any flame-throwers mind, just something that will boot the car about 30BHP'ish, with a nice idle noice and growl to match.
I'm a novice with these things, so I better check beforehand - what will I need to purchare with the exhaust? I hear that I might need a new centre section/back box? Can someone shed some light for me on this?
I saw a few items on the www.scoobyworld.co.uk site:

http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/trolley...ex.htm#swninja
Which one of these would you recommend?
Thanks.

The only option that would get you anywhere near would be a full decat system, and you wouldn't want to be taking that off and back on every time you have the car serviced. Even if you tried, it'd be glaringly obvious to the service engineers what you'd done.
If you want a bit more noise, without voiding your warranty, get the WR Sport back box.
If you want 30bhp (well, 40bhp) extra, more noise, better driveability and want to keep your warranty, buy the PPP.

Hi again.
Didn't mean to raise any fraud issues, as you say. I just thought that, ragardless of the warranty situation, changing the car spec a little with dump valves and bigger exhausts was something that many people do.
I'll look into the PPP option instead.
Cheers.
