Does the PPP give a better exhaust noise over standard exhaust + Prodrive BB as well as obvious better performance ?
Am thinking about it (Opelcorsa) but want more of that Scooby burble?
Cheers,
Steve

I would diagree - i have recently had my sti7 ppp'ed and the difference is great. The exhaust sounds much better, although mostly when the car is going. At tickover it sounds a litle noisier but nothing huge, its wehn you are accelerating that it sounds at its best. As for performance i find the car a. easier to live with in traffic, and b. much more responsive in lower revs, plus the power keeps on going for allot longer. I would say go for the ppp it is great IMHO.

I have PPP on my STi8, and prev had a non-PPP sti7. The difference is certainly noticeable, the exhaust will pop occasionally, especially on a cold morning after a spirited drive 
The noise is very noticeable on acceleration, but not intrusive in the cabin.
Can't comment on the WRX though.

If you think a PPP car is quiet, just wind down the rear windows while you're driving it
I take it you have a WRX then, not a Turbo (93-00)?

Best thing to do is scrap the centre section and replace it with one without the resonator that slows the gases down and cuts the noise out.
You also gain more from the system then...

Yes Re-bitten Hero .. MY03 WRX Wagon .
My baby IS only 3 months old
but just want THAT LITTLE BIT MORE noise and *cough* power
Thanks everybody for your opinions , keep then comin' !
P.S. Wonder how santa will manage to fit new exhaust sections down our chimney , fit them ( I keep keys with me at all times ) and reprogram the ECU without me knowing ? .. esp. since I don't have a chimney !
P.P.S. Do you think he'll pay for my hike in insurance premium as well if I'm a good boy ?

Stevo my WRX 03 is much faster with PPP and sounds alot different from outside the car - I get loads of comments. The car pulls alot harder from lower down the revs so it feels much more responsive. look at Prodrive info and see the difference in the toque and bhp curves and the acceleration differences in all the gears from various speeds.
Well worth it in my opinion mate and the warranty is still intact

It's a very well made box is the Prodrive with a great exhaust note and of course keeps the warrenty, I've got a spare one sat in the garage gathering dust as I replaced it with a firestorm because I wanted a tad more burble, the firestorm however comes at a cost, if i'm late for work then everyone in the office knows i'm late for work. Also I keep on setting car alarms of which does not go down well with the neighborhood.
Overall I fully recomend the prodrive as the firestorm is a bit too extream, but i'm keeping it
