Have you tried searching for answers?
Stick (not literally) a Scoobysport back box on. It'll sound fantastic and you'll prolly think your going faster

If your warranty is the main consideration then check the prodrive site and away you go.

They might let you put a different aftermaket backbox (and possibly centre section) on the car, but you should check with the dealer first.

As NS said, check with your dealer, or a couple of dealers first your plans and see how much they turn their nose up at.
Decat exhaust (£400) / Just a backbox (£200)
Decat/Sports cat downpipe (£100/£250)
Panel filter (£30)
Fuel Pump (£85)
Remap (£550)
Suspension mods (See powerstation stage1 & 2 handling kits for ideas/prices).
Track Day/Driver training - anyone would go faster if they knew what to do with it (myself included!)
Save for an STi

PPP has been tested thoroughly by Prodrive exhaustive R&D , so probably the safest route and also more Insurance friendly as many insurers see it as an official option supported by Suburu.
I’m sure the superchips derivatives are good, but they don’t have the same testing and QA as Prodrive; which ensures/guarantees (caveat with any car; sensible usage) the engine has a decent lifespan. I have gone the 3rd party route with previous turbo cars and they are so fussy about fuel, whereas the PPP option will run on any 95+Octane fuel without problems.

New-age PPP specify 97RON+ (check Prodrive website), unless you can't get any then a small amount of 95 just to get you to the good stuff and recommend you stay off boost. PPP map is just a generic ECUtec map. On some cars it works well, others it can work lousy. They've toned down the potential to protect the engine and make it as friendly as possible as it should really be vehicle specific. A bespoke ECUtec will always be not only more powerful, but if done right, safer too.
Plenty of alternative BB's, decat mids and good mappers about. Throw in a Samco I/C hose and you should have more power for less cash. Add a decat up-pipe, high flow DP and uprated I/C and you're laughing, although this level would probably need injectors and a fuel pump too.

PPP
Same here got PPP for MY04 WRX for £1050.00.
The certificate that you get with the PPP states that the car is perfectly OK running on 95RON but to get the full benefits use 97RON.
Some people knock PPP but it transformed my car.

EcuTEK less than half the price of PPP and it's mapped to the car not a one size fits all. Can produce better results on BHP/Nm too. With WR Back box and panel filter I got 264 BHP/334Nm on a Bugeye WRX (All the cats still on). STi go for a lot less than a PPP.
