Default Blob Exhaust and spacer advice

Hi all!

Not so long ago I have bought a Blob WRX PPP 05.

It has a toyosport 3" exhaust fitted which is a headache to drive with . Can anyone advise on a catback that isnt too loud?

Thinking about:
http://scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=24_53&products_id=458

Anyone fitted one with the toyosport 3" centre pipe?

Since the current catback is a full 3", will reducing to 2.5" cause a loss of power? The car didnt come with a lot of receipts so I dont know what power it really is at, certainly does feel like 261bhp.

Lastly, I have 225/40/18 speedline wheels and I am thinking of getting spacers. Does anyone recognise these alloys? I cant find what the offset is, nor any info about them.

Make sure to measure the length of your backbox and downpipe compared to the replacement. Japspeed, toyosports etc can have custom lengths so only use there other exhaust parts

Have a look on the reathef the wheel. Should say et somewhere

I have a 3 inch Japspeed 200 cell sportcat attached via a short 3 to 2.5 Adapter to the rest of the PPP System the Prodrive backbox still gives a nice burrble but the level is still comfortable over long distances, I cant tell you if using a 2,5 inch tail causes any power loss as I have never compared it with a full 3inch , but I would imagine that restriction is very minimal below 350bhp , I am currently running 328bhp with a SC36 and will hope to up this a little with some porting of the std cast headers, which I believe as my choke point. As you have a WRX you won't want to go over 350bhp due to the 5spd Weakness.

For your wheels , you should check for the letters ET (Einpressteife) and the number (mm) the letters stand for press depth , you should find these on the inner side of the spokes

As said there should be some info on the back of the wheel
You can get an indication of the ET by measuring it yourself using a straight edge and a ruler.

Update:
Are they not Speedline Corse Type 2113 ???
Lots of them come up using google but they come in a range of sizes.
If fitted on a WRX blob they will be 5 x 100 pcd

225/40/18 is your tyre size which can fit on rims 7.0in; 7.5in; or 8.0 inches in width
From the picture the tyre looks stretched so probably 8.0in rim

Best guestimate on size from info supplied would be 18 x 8.0; pcd 5x100; ET 48
