Cool STI exhaust on an 03 WRX

I see lots of STI exhausts for sale due to upgrades. Are exhausts from STI cars of a similiar year compatible with my 03 WRX? Will there be any difference in performance, noise or engine wear?

STI backbox is direct swap, had one on mine for a while. Very slightly louder and looks better. Now got a PPP one, sounds much better without being OTT loudness esp on the motorway.

I sold my 03sti rear silencer to a guy on here a while back for £10. He was very happy after, fitted it to a 03wrx.
