Question Prodrive axleback vs STI OEM??

I just installed Prodrive 3rd cat deleate and silicone hose.
Originaly, I got whole set off ebay including muffler. But that guy never shipped the muffler.
So I am running STI oem muffler on WRX right now.
Is there any considerable difference between the two?
Anybody runs Prodrive muffler on STI?
Is it worth the money to still get Prodrive?
Need opinions, please.

Thanks

The Prodrive sounds much better IMHO. deeper rumble and just wicked at WOT. Not only does it sounds better than a STi axleback, it's got that straight through design so it flows better too.

+1

I have a prodrive and have also had Turbo XS RFL and STi OEM.

I love the prodrive the most. Perfeect deep rumble but not nearly loud enough to draw attention from cops.

It's great!
