Default 2005 sti type uk. ppp? no cert

hi, thinking of buying a 2005 sti type uk, seller says it had prodrive pack fitted from new but has no certificate. it has a blue prodrive silicone intercooler pipe fitted. is there any way of knowing for sure. thanks

has it got a prodrive exhaust and sport cat down pipe fitted ? You can also ring the dealer where the PPP was fitted to check against the car reg.

I had the same issue when i bought mine, give Subaru UK a call, I think they are based in birmingham and they will send you a new one in the post

Get the chassis number and ring IM, i.e Subaru UK. They will tell you for sure if it has been fitted. Good luck.

Or just get an ecutek map added and have a car that runs and gives better performance than prodrive

Ecutek dealer can plug in and tell you if a prodrive licence is present

The place I got my 2002 sti were advertising it as a ppp but now I'm not conviced. I figured would be getting decatted and remapped anyway so wasn't too worried, it does have the Prodrive skirts and bumper etc so I'm thinking its a Prodrive style one. When I rang local Subaru dealer got told it was Prodrive but on looking underneath they look like standard cats to me with heatshields in place

When Subaru fit the centre de-cat they refit the heat shield off the original cat pipe onto the de-cat. Confused me for a bit when I first got it. Just get under and have a look
