Has anyone got any info on having a PPP put on to my WRX?, what sort of exhaust noise will there be?, bearing in mind i am 30 something mother, who loves her WRX as it is, but is very interested in having this done, thanks

 

first place to look would be .. Prodrive's website.

Brett,

Many thanks for your help

 

MY'01/MY'02 WRX PPP pack includes

decat link pipe
3.5" exhaust back box (not much louder than the standard twin pipe)
revised ECU
intercooler pipe

 

what MY is it on, i got a PPP on my MY99 wrx, and with the prodrive exhaust its louder than my mates P1 with the standard STi exhaust.

 

it is an MY02 , i am starting to get worried now!!!!!!

 

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.

 

I live in Berkshire.

 

I had a PPP on my MY01 & decided it was too bland & quiet

now running a motec & decat with a firestorm
much nicer

 

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.

 

just go 4 a blitz nur spec r if u want noise, it comes with a bung if u wanna make it quieter 4 long journeys

 

PPPscooby are you sure its a MY99 WRX ?? as you cant fit them to a JDM car.

well its a MY99 turbo 2000 uk car, but wrx sounds betta... lol

 

, 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.

the original owner put it on after 800miles, guess he got bored

 

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.

 

maybe, all i know on the certificate you get when you have the PPP fitted it said 812miles

 

Dr Evil Get your ears syringed mate !

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

 

I test drove one on saturday and mine is having the PPP fitted on friday.the exhaust is noiser but not that noisey infact my two boys said that it sounded like a proper scooby
