Perhaps if you indicate what part of the UK you are in, someone with one fitted will be able to drive round to you (or meet you somewhere) and you can listen to theirs.

Also got MY02 with PPP already fitted (and, hate to admit it, I'm 31).

The exhaust note is great - I do about 25K miles a year, mostly motorway, and it is not intrusive at 70-80mph (or beyound really). You can just tell you're driving a Scooby with that deep flat 4 boxer engine rumble. I find myself not listening to the stereo, exhaust sounds great.

Off the motorway then as the revs rise the noise increases but on the a and b roads you want that...IMHO anyway. And it nevers get to the silly stage of being unbearable.

I'd say go for it.

Thumbs up

, okay just a bit worried you have put it on a JDM car for a minute, dont know what it would do to be honest, I guess the mapping would be way out.

If I had a UK WRX a PPP would be a must have item, even before it had a set of mats installed . Well actaully I would probably do at least 3K miles before I had it fitted.

800 miles it was more than likely done at the first service, which is pretty common as you cant give them any stick till 1000 miles service.

You could hardly hear the standard exhaust on my car. The PPP exhaust is miles louder
