Both are great exhausts but I have to say I have not seen anyone with the full Prodrive exhaust and if I did my exhaust all over again it would be probably the Prodrive since they manufacture most of the parts on the WRC Imprezas as well as many other car like the Aston Martin LeMans car as well as the Honda F1 car. APS doesn't hold that kind of weight.

The prodrive is 2.5" correct?

So would the 3" APS get better gains with the COBB AP?

Get the Prodrive.

I know someone who sells Prodrive who can save you some shipping costs.

QFT I heard that "someone" has connections.

Personally I'm deadset on someday owning twintip APS after hearing a sound clip of the exhaust tone, plus twintip almost looks more stock than stock. That being said, one doesn't see many full prodrive exhaust cars driving around in the US, so that would be pretty cool.

Yep, I know that. So what is your take on the matter. I know you have the APS setup.

if you want really quiet with decent gains go with a catless jdm exhaust like the fujitsubo. the legalis R is quieter than any usdm exhaust i've heard (even compared to the greddy sp2/evo2 and borla hush) with similar gains. the down side to jdm parts are price. especially if you plan to get a catted dp.
