the cat removal pipe on a ppp still retains the heat shields so looks the same from a casual glance as the standard pipe, if you are on about the bulge in the long centre section this is a resonator box and this can be replaced with a non resonated centre section, it adds a bit of noise but unsure if it actually makes any performance difference. The biggest restriction if it is a wrx ppp is the cat in the up pipe and this can be replaced with either an sti up pipe or an aftermarket stainless pipe, although allow a fair amount of time if you are fitting this yourself, took me about 4 hours to do up pipe and down pipe due to awkwardness of undoing the bolts and nuts.

Yes so you need these which are what I have on my ex-PPP'd MY03 WRX :-

H&S Up pipe




H&S Centre pipe straight through



If you have the PPP you should already have this short section & backbox

That's why in the end I took my PPP backbox off. I got used to it & it started to sound too quiet for me.
