Default Prodrive back box

Simple question, is it worth fitting one in replacement for a standard STI unit ?

What would you consider cheap enough ?
Do you get a better sound over the standard because i'm very miffed about the lack of burble from the standard piece.

Mine made a huge difference but I also went from 3 cats to 1 sport cat at the same time so its hard to say for just the back box. AFAIK it should be a fair bit louder though.

I fitted STI one to my WRX03 which didn't make any sound difference, then PPP one fitted and has nice not too loud burble and warranty intact. 15 minute swap over job with 14mm spanners if I remember correctly.
