The Prodrive BB is a very good BB giving a nice roar high in the rev range, but a deep burble low down. Slightly increased flow might allow a minor increase in spool-up too. Whilst you're underneath with the spanners I'd consider popping a decat centre on too. They're cheap as they're only a piece of bent pipe, but will liberate some power as flow improves much more.

If you want to go even further then consider decat-ing at the front end, but WRX's have 2 cats up there. A pre-cat in the up-pipe and the usual down-pipe main cat, so you would ideally replace both. If you do the DP or both, I would recommend a remap to get the best out of them and ensure safety, so you can see the cost starting to spiral. You'd need a Samco I/C pipe to cope with the increase in boost too as the plastic one will split in no time.
