Sorry about this guys. Im thinking of getting the ppp pack on my MY03 WRX. Just a couple of questions

1) Will it change the MPG? Currently get about 240 from a tank
2) I will be paying an extra £40ish a month on my loan is it worth it?

I have not test drove one yet but may pop to the garage later.

Cheers

1) you don't get something for nothing.
2) It is worth it (for the noise alone)

I got better mpg with PPP. Not a lot admittedly but a good reliable 1mpg better over 3 or 4 months. Guess it's most likely due to the lower back pressure exhaust letting it breath more easily.

Cheers guys. Only problem I wont be purchasing the PPP from carstins as it`s a good 30 mile trip when Showells is about 1 mile away. Dont think they will be to happy if they found that out.

Well worth it m8 - I get about 260 miles to a tank which consists of a fair bit of motorway cruising - down to 200 when knocking about but had as many as 300!

Car is MUCH improved to drive and warranty still intact.
