Question Is it worth getting?

I have an 06 WRX and have put a 2" Magnex cat back system on and have a green cotton panel filter, so is it worth me paying £1300 for the Street Legal Package at Powerstation or should i just get a sports cat and re-map? The Milltek system is 3" so may allow for more power but is it going to be worth the additional cost, considering i have already spent £400 approx.
Heres the link:

i still reckon its gonna cost in the region of 900-1000 pounds as sports cats are not cheap and a remap is around 500-600+ pounds.

all prices at power station are + vat

so maybe cheaper to do it yourself

Will be cheaper doing it yourself. A 3" system is not necessary at that level of tune.

So you should be able to pick up a PPP Sports Cat, complete the rest of the exhaust and arrange your own mapping for less than £1500.

Long term i am thinking of possibly a new or rebuilt turbo to get around 330-340hp so is a 3" going to be needed to achieve this?

I've been told by several that the 2.5" (standard) system will not be restrictive until around 350bhp, but even over that it is unknown by how much.

I'm just going to 3" as i'm getting a new turbo, around the 360-370 mark.
