thanks for the replies.looking like it is a wrx sa.
how much difference will the 3" exhaust make to overall bhp if standard is 220

Does it have an automatic gearbox? if not, it's probably the WRX.

Don't know about the power - a few BHP? They need a new ECU and a re-map to make any significant gains, I think.

you'll find the engine stated here is a version 1 sti. Translated version of http://saisokuimpreza.fc2web.com/siryousitu.htm is useful if search with the engine code you will find the only ref. to it state it is defo a v1 sti and will be closed deck .the wrx sa was a entry level spec car that was then modified after prod the manuals were modified by sti the rest were given auto tranny and have 220 bhp still
