MY03 - MY04 STi Differences?
Im looking at buying a delivery mileage pre-reg MY03 from a dealer. What differences are there (if any) on a MY04 car?

Oh !! and I think the PPP for the MY04 is about 15BHP more than the PPP for the MY03.....

Nothing has been confirmed about the MY04 PPP, APJ. That means no confirmation about its power output, and nothing whatsoever (one way or the other) about whether it'll be applicable to MY03 cars, Steve is commenting on speculation, not fact.
Until Subaru UK make some sort of comment on the record about this, no news is, well, no news.

Might be wrong but I heard somewhere that the newer of the new-age sti's have equal length headers, might be completely wrong but there you go, also heard this effects the lovely burble.

Dave, you're correct in thinking that some of the newest STi's have equal length headers, and you're also correct in thinking that they fundamentally alter the exhaust note. However, at the moment, the only cars so equipped are the MY2003 and newer Japanese market STi's. The MY04 STi Type UK retains the "old" setup.
Incidentally, the new headers replace the burble with a hard-edged howl that sounds just as distinctive, and, IMO at least, even better than it used to. It really is a case of "the sound is dead, long live the sound"!
