Cheers Dave and Ian,
I new Dave would be lurking somewhere near here to put me right :D:D All this technical stuff confuses I :eek:

15 hours to go :D

Guys, how much on the old insurance??? Are you on Rum*'s extra £95 deal. What ins coy is that??

So many questions......;)

i don't think the exhaust noise is too loud..it's certainly louder than the standard one but its not as loud as the engine when giving it some WOT unless you're going through a tunnel that is! :)

for insurance, i'm with privilege and it fell into their 11%-20% performance increase band and cost me an extra 10% on top of my premium!! :(

dont you mean replacement front centre section and not a bypass pipe still retaining the 2nd cat?

Matt and Leon.
Insurances copanies always onthe take :rolleyes: Tesco's want an Extra £16.80p WOW :D:D someone posted here Tesco's there was no extra charge :)

Stop being cantankerous or you won't get another chance to raid my wine cellar;);)

Written in a hurry, but yes I mean the PPP front centre section is straight through to replace the 2nd cat.....:p

DT-S, the JF man has a few points though :)

Forget peak boost, you can even argue if a peak really accomplishes something.

You can change - as you know - a)boost b)ignition c)fuelling d)VE e) match those ingredients into a sensible and coherent mix

No doubt the exhaust bit will take care of quite a few things, but yes, they must have upped the boost (not the peak per sé) to get to a higher BHP figure. Knowing Prodrive (that is, seeing the previous PPP's), they will have taken care to keep it safe both fuelling & ignition wise.

My point is ... erm... I wish I knew LOL :D

OK, point would be: Prodrive has tested that particular map with that particular exhaust etc... so he is right in saying that - with all respect - the starter of this thread is not actually talking about the PPP, but about a modded PPP.

You yourself have seen how exhausts can modify boost behaviour (in an extreme way) on the STi7. So his point is valid.

Just for my education... the turbo on the UK STi7, is that a VF30 or a VF35 ?

Does the PPP include any badging?? 'PRO300' for example??

Is it actually a remap or a MAP sensor alteration? I reckon the latter. Does it matter?

Hi mate:D

I wasn't questioning Felstie's novels regarding gas flow, but his pickiness regarding my clumsy wording of the second cat removal:D:D

He has a point, up to a point, but the rear centre section is effectively a straight through pipe despite having a resonator in it. Biggest benefit to swopping it for a non resonated one is more NOISE - luvverly:D

BTW, the UK STi turbo is a VF35.

There's only one STi7 with a "PRO300" plate on ;) :D

sorry, i like to be precise if at all posible. :p

There is no getting out of me raiding that wine cellar (cupboard) Dave, i have my corkscrew at the ready. :D

Hope it makes it to Australia!

The corkscrew, the wine cellar or the PPP???;);)

sorry chaps, being a bit dumb here....

but what is the noise impact of the new exhaust....

too loud, too quiet, same as before ????

Dave T-S... does this mean they havent fitted you PPP yet????

Jza

Correct.....

Come on then Tony, what's the verdict ?

He's probably too busy driving it to reply ;)

in conclusion PPP is a very good thing???

Sounds like it to me. What are the power boosts that you get from it? Just Curious.

Russ.
I posted something:D

Cars a lot better but pocket lighter:D

Tony
