Fang44 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Chaps thinking of getting the 340r pack from pro r for my stock 2011 STI saloon. Anyone had good or bad experiences with this pack and is it worth the £1600 investment. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Driving the Type UK which is a similar package but gives an approx 330BHP I would say its a good thing to invest in - it is certainly a very enjoyable drive. here is a reduced offer for the 340R pack save £170 http://subaru.co.uk/offers/sti/ Have you done any comparisons with other options as what you are buying is a pipe and a remap, other packages have an uprated fuel pump and performance filter in place. The one difference I can see is which is of interest but also for discussion as to if it is needed is the decat pipe - on mine I have a standard pipe with a prodrive stainless backbox, so that may be where some of the additional 10BHP comes from. Personally on my ever extending list of things to change on my motor will be a trip to Litchfield in Gloucs - I like the Milltec system sound - not too loud and you get a filter. http://www.litchfieldimports.co.uk/SUBARU/Subaru-Performance-Upgrades/subaru_08_upgrades The Prodrive kit, slightly cheaper but less BHP and retains the original pipe midsection http://www.subarupartsstore.co.uk/product/Impreza_WRX_STI_2.5_2008_-_onwards_Performance_Pack_SACC2811# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang44 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hi Jay Had a ring round and to get similar seem to be a much bigger price around the 2000 from pwerhouse and litchfield - so thought i would give the Pro r a go. Thanks for the discount link, thats nearly two tanks of fuel saved! Is that a new deal on the discount as got quoted £1670 last week! Like the idea it doesnt affect the warranty as well.

Jay762 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Yup the Litchfield one for 2k retains the fast cat, which obviously helps when it comes to MOT time, in the mid section. Its £1595 without, the Pro R ditches the cat also so the price is comparable but retaining warranty is a good thing in my book. I dont know how new the deal is but that is from the Subaru site not the Pro R one but it is something to have in your back pocket when you phone to book in as its even the same picture used on both sites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang44 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 oh it just noticed it says January offer! ;0( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hmmm I would still haggle, some business is better than no business and the fact the website has not been updated is sloppy, an opportunity to get all car boot sale on their **** ;) play the innocent - you saw the offer phoned up you then feign disappointment and talk about the prodrive pack that is cheaper, from somewhere else of course in fact we do have some discounts linked to the forum - check those out as well, it may throw up something http://uk.subaruownersclub.com/forums/forum/37-subaru-owners-club-company-discounts/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 no probs - whatever you do decide if you could a couple of before and after vids that would be good, sad as it sounds - its something I would genuinely be interested in B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 no probs - whatever you do decide if you could a couple of before and after vids that would be good, sad as it sounds - its something I would genuinely be interested in B) 2nd this :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang44 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 I think cosmetically i dont think there will be much changes, i think the exhaust sound will change ( it better) so maybe get some of that footage. I will also give you my opinion on how the torque increase feels from a drivers point of view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'm glad to see the spoiler on the car I see a white one without it today god it look nasty. Looks American :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Agreed this shape saloon definitely needs the spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang44 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Yeah was an expensive option, as they have to put a new stronger bootlid on, so around 1600 quid again! But as you say needs it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I didn't know that until I was speaking to another bloke who was not sure if to or not then said it needed a new bootlid not just a spoiler :) I did say about making it stronger himself but he had 7 years warranty or something left :) But worth the extra cost IMO :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Agreed I think it will help any resale opportunities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
