Default STi backbox for newage WRX

Just fitted a nice shiny new STi backbox to my MY01 WRX, never did like the peashooters.
Anyway, the supplier who go me mine has access to some more and they are practically new. Mine cost £90.

They sound the same tbh as a wrx, just look different. Mine got thrown in the bin along with 100's more when the PPP kit was added as they have no value (well £10 - £20 maybe)

If you want a proper sounding exhaust you need an aftermarket one or a PPP one.

I'm not bothered mate, you could post on here a complete lie that i'd bought it for a tenner and someone would still post they'd got one for £9.99!!
Mine was literally brand new, i'm happy with it and thats all that matters.

Like you say thats all that matters.


Now spend another £90 or so of your hard earned and buy a non resonated section and release some burble

Going to sound like a complete numpty now but which part does this non-resonated section replace? (Please don't say the resonated section).

Its the section that goes between your centre cat and the back box, about 3 foot in length

Could be a good call that one 'cause mine is decidedly rusty.
Thanks, will report back when I've knocked them down to 99p
