I'm changing mine (MY06 STi) over to my prodrive one in the hope that some of the burble returns, but i'll post up again and let you know if its any good. From what I can gather on here, its a bit hit and miss as not many have tried it on an 06 model.

be nice and they "overlook" mods on your car

The prodrive back box will return some of the burble on the 06 cars! You need to get rid of the resonator section which is just after the cat for full burble!
Got mine from TSL, sounds awesome!

I've now had my prodrive BB on My06 STi, and it is a big improvement although not as burbley as it was on my old scoob. Resinator will be the answer as previously posted, but as I say, it is a big improvement so i'm happy for now

hi mate welcome to Scooby ownership
I have a 06 wrx and I had the Prodrive exhaust for around 2-3 mouths its much better than the standard exhaust but for me new to Scooby ownership and the Scooby sound I found that it was too quiet for me, good when you give it some gas at low speed however I found I was going around in too low a gear so I could have the sound not good for fuel or speed I sold it to a another member (he was very happy with it so far) I went for a vortex afterburner from Scoobyworld I think it has a better sound and better build quality, I don’t think that its over the top sound wise just gives a good sound when you give it the gas I love it.
and my dealer has one on his car and fitted my one so I don’t see any issue with warranty

Thanks for all the help, unfortunately I've just spoken with Subaru UK and they tell me unless I fit a Prodrive system I will invalidate the warranty !!!!! Don't think I want to take the risk.......

And exhaust is down to personal perference, usually noise levels.

have quite a few exhaust and sound clips too. I can vouch for the Ninja. Very nice lOOking, sounds good with just the BB done. Sounds awesome, probably too loud for some when full decat.

ALE, When my car had it's 1st service (1000 mile) My Dealer fitted my NINJA back box FOC. It really was'nt an issue about warranty at all, He just said now it sounds like a Scooby!

Spoke with the dealer,he doesn't think it's a problem (wouldn't commit in writing) which one I fit but advised me to speak with Subaru warranty guys on Monday.
Starting to think I'm getting worrird about nothing here, but if it came to a claim I wouldn't want to be shafted !!! Am Ilikely to make a claim on the warranty ??? Thought these Scoobies were bulletproof ?
