hi guys,

i have the ppp on my wrx wagon but yesterday i was messing around on the rear end while the car was running and thought i could hear a leak from the exhaust, put my hand over the tail pipe and found a split seam on the back of the box

anyway my question is, can i fit a saloon prodrive backbox to my wagon or are they made individually for each car.

cheers.

I think they are both a straight fit, but maybe wrong. Can someone weld the split up?

mcfc11

cheers for the reply,

can you weld stainless then?

i thought its was a specialized job to get stainless welded costing more than a 2nd hand one.

My prodrive box split and got it welded at a local powerflow dealer. five min job.

I've got PPP on my Spec D. Anyone got any pictures? Bit worrying really. Very new PPP but even so.

You'd expect a Prodrive exhaust to take the heat / pressures etc.

Which seam?

cheers rb5,

if you had yours done at your local powerflow they would have the specilized equipment to weld stainless, my local is a joe spanner with a couple of oxy bottles,

im looking at changing it rather than getting it welded because i imagine the internals must of started to corrode if the seam has split,

cheers.

hi hawk,

its the rear of the box on the seam closest to the inlet exhaust pipe.

rb5 stu

Yeah mine was the front at the entry to the backbox. It went along the seam. I don't think they do rot as they are stainless. They just seem to split but its only an outer skin.

mcfc11

yes but i think its only the outer skin that's stainless, but not 100%

The saloon ones do fit, I got one off another member on here with a spec & fitted it to my 03 plate wagon this weekend
