one last try
It is kinda steep. For that price I'd go with PPP stage 1 for $1150 (albeit that's for the WRX, but I'd imagine it'd be the same) and it would be warranteed I think. Not as big of a gain but you get more than just an exhaust.

The price isn't that steep for a 100% stainless steel turbo-back exhaust with a hi-flow cat. Compare it to other turbo-back exhausts such as Vishnu's (~$1350), MRT (~$1,245), or BPM (~$1200) and you'll see that they're all right around there. Remember, this includes a downpipe, catted midpipe, and the muffler section. A good cat-back exhaust alone costs ~$500-600. Perrin's downpipe with cat is ~$550.
A Prodrive Power Pack (Stage 1) comes only with the rear muffler, intercooler hoses (which the STi won't need), and an ECU re-flash for a 20whp gain according to http://www.spimotorsports.com/. From my understanding (from [email protected]), the PPP for the WRX is not warrantied by Subaru like in certain places in Europe.

What are you going to put on your new STi
I don't think $1100 is that bad of price. The question is will I still be able to drive my 7 month old daughter in the car while sleeping... prolly not.
I'm gonna wait a few months before I get mine, but since they are local it will be hard to hesitate.

Guys $1100.00 for a friggin gain of 28hp at the wheels is a DEAL!!! I can't believe that gain with just a new exhaust. The JUN exhaust I put on my Type R cost me $1200.00 and it didn't come close to a gain like that by itself. I am going to spend a ton on my STI cause it will be my new project car. But i am not going to do that until next spring/summer cause i wanna enjoy this beauty stock for awhile. When spring comes around though i am gonna keep this awesome exhaust on the top of my list of things to try. Peace!!
V1 false laser warning in STi?
Correct me if I am wrong, but dont the eclipse drivers get about that much from an exhaust? I have never owned a turbo, so its new to me. But from what I have read, on most turbo cars, removing cat, and putting the straight pipes make it way less restrictive hence the HP/TQ gains?MKIVSupra said:
sounds like a deal to me.
I spent 1200 to get my '95 ///M3 from 240 bhp to 268 bhp. (oh, and what a difference that made, more pull, and what a great sound!)
is the kit in question going to be a huge hassle to install? I bet it will...
there is the rub...

maybe the ease of getting 28hp is a true testament of how detuned the car is. (yippee! another "hidden" perk of the sti.) i still think $1100 is dizzying; mostly because i just bought the car. after 3yr/36k, i'm sure i'll be ready to spend that.X-Japan said:
Why wait 3yr/36? It's not like adding an aftermarket exhaust will void your warantee-that is illegal now. Is it just the money?4MLA1FN said:
I know I'll have that exhaust on w/ in 1 week of owning the car. There is no way I can let $1000ish stand between me and another 28 eazy HP. Even if it means credit card debt! You only live once!!!
