I have had a SS backbox for a couple of years and the sound is awesome . I was going to go the whole lot on my import (downpipe and centre) but it a lot louder than my previous UK model anyway, so I havent bothered. It definitely revs better at the top of the rev range.

Just make sure your oil isn't overfilled then.........

Yep, Pete's gear definitely does the business, top notch. I had the downpipe on my P1, and now have the mid/rear box on my MY'01 .. my neighbours know when I'm home

Dave T-S iam a bit worried about your comment on the over filling of the oil i had the work done thinking that it did'nt effect the engine or warranty in anyway could you or someone else put my mind at rest.

Thanks Chris.

Nah, learnt to my cost recently what happens after oil overfill. CHRONIC overboost. Put your foot down, launch, 4000RPM, turbo shutdown. I was getting it 3rd, 4th and 5th. Great fun on an SIDC drive and a business trip to Swansea - NOT

Still, quick trip to the dealer (no facilities myself) and £15 + some wry grins and it's fixed. My scooby is back to its old self

Just remember - ITS BETWEEN THE TWO DOTS!

EDIT: Problem was caused by overfill splashing into the boost solonoid pipes and fouling them. Check drivetrain section for details

There have been several well publicised cases where P1 engines have let go, in at least one it was reckoned that the oil level was set too high at a service, the MAF sensor got contaminated, the ECU got false signals, gave a weak mixture, detonation, BANG.

The mapping on a P1 does not have great safety margins when d/pipes are fitted if something like the above happens.

Prodrive/Subaru UK will almost certainly walk away from a warranty claim if a P1 engine lets go and a non-Prodrive exhaust is fitted.

Not sure i would have had the work done if i thought it could effect the engine or warranty in anyway.Shame because the car sounds awsome still haven't had the radio on yet
