Any WReXers here that have added the pro drive performance pack? Just wanted to know what you think, also are there plenty of places that will still perform this upgrade (parts and fitting)?

Cheers

Mike

 

It's a total waste of money once the cars out of warranty, better off doing a few mods yourself and then getting a custom remap.


Mine made 287BHP with the following:-

Decat up pipe
Prodrive Sports Cat downpipe
Decat Centre pipe
Samco Intercooler Hoses
TSL Panel Filter

+ Custom EcuTek remap by Andy Forrest.

Car ran sweet as a nut for 4 years until I traded her last month.
It was also the same colour and model as yours.

 

Only worthwhile when they were fitted from new to keep manufacturers warrantee. If you are thinking of fitting now on your blob there are cheaper ways to get more BHP.
I'm sure others will be along shortly to tell you the same.

 

Pointless upgrade that costs a fortune.

 

As above really, I have it on mine and the performance is great but I didnt pay for it, the previous owner did, personally I would have done stage 1 mods plus a remap.

 

yeah as the car is no longer in warranty you will be better getting the parts separate save abit of money aswell

 

Thanks guys, so I'd be better buying all the parts (such as Normal mentioned) and getting some one to fit them and do a remap?

 

thats it, you want sport cat down pipe or de-cat what ever you fancy, de-cat center pipe, then a cat back exhaust any of your fancy pridrive 1's only go for £80-100 now a days, 255 fuel pump, may aswell change the panel filter, then get a remap done

 

sorry to hijack.

when people say de-cat down pipe is that same as getting a de-cat exhaust fitted?
how many cats are on the thing lol i thought there was 2? (exhaust and up pipe)

 

Depends on the model. Some just have a cat in the down pipe, some in the down pipe and up pipe and some in the down pipe, up pipe and centre pipe.

 

in the case of a 2002 bugeye wrx uk model...
just trying to work out how many cats i have left to remove lol

 

you should have 2

turbo_
....... `= cat
..........\
...........`- - - - Cat -------- silencer------- backbox

 

ok just the cat left in the up pipe to remove then.
cheers for that. and sorry for the hijack harper

 

thats correct

 

I could be wrong so will stand corrected by the more experienced but, I think removing the up-pipe cat is slightly more involved in it effects the spooling up and boost targets. You may need to tal;k to a tuner or mapper about the best options for your car.

 

oh bugger i miss read that! my awful diagram shows the downpipe cat you need to remove! sorry!!!

im not sure what models have a up pipe cat as opposedforces dont list it as being a cat, just a pipe!

sorry for the confusion

 

im not sure if mine has 1 fitted ppp sti, I've looked on the bay and cant find any up pipe cats for my car "/

 

argh lol.

ok i know i need to remove the up pipe cat. as mapper suggests that. (andyf's website)(can just use an sti up pipe) as sti does not have a up pipe cat.

Did not know there was a down pipe cat as i gathered a de-cat exhaust was removing the cat i needed gone lol.

like the thread starter am just looking to see what needs done before a remap.

but worked out most stuff i need to buy/sort. just the cat's where confusing me as i know so far ive only got a de-cat exhaust fitted (3")

 

Think this is the best i can do, so going by what you saying is, replace the 1st cat with a sti pipe, the remove the 2nd cat with a decat pipe, the 3rd you say is already removed
