know a place in cardiff for quality custom exhausts, called longlife. Stainless and life time guarantee. Bout £250 for basic full trough, sport, mid sport or quiet!! My bro had a dual exit done on his saxo 1 half years ago, £350, and its still perfect!!

anyone had a system done by topgear in birmingham?

im going up tomorrow to have a look and get a price up.

i agree with kris,mine was done at predator about a year ago and it still comes up shiny as the day it went on,sounds quality to due to no silencer!!

They were supposed to have used the 405?? grade stainless on my current system. Its still shiny 6 months after it was done.

Thing is, you want power/quality, then fork out on a proper custom exhaust from a race tuning place, or go safe with the likes of Magnex, scorpian etc.

If you want individuality, then you go to places like powerflow etc. There show exhausts designed for looks and noise. You can't really expect too much from them!

hmmm, depends on what grade stainless they use n all, i hear theres a crap grade n a gud grade...anyone know any more info about this?

Well if it in stainless steel like they say they use it shouldnt rust should it not? I have got my car booked in on Sat at Alpha Tyres/Powerflow Leeds so i hope they make a good job, they seem to have done on mates cars.

The fact that there is any rust shows that its a really really low grade of metal, as we all know, stainless doesn't rust!!!!

They pressure bend their pipes which = a reduction in bore size and restriction. So no matter how good the fitter is, he still only has a crap pipe bender and shit materials to work with.

oh and powerflow at xtreme are shocking, guy i know had his done there and they had to cut some metal to get it through, no problem, you should see it though, god knows what they used to cut it, its a mess, not an arch its just been attacked.

sorry, that should be no signs of rust :lol: dumb ass!

predator motorsport is the best place in the country for them, they make the race bike teams exhausts thats how shit hot they are.

at the end of the day, rusty or not, its still a lifetime garentee! my mams got a powerflow zorst on her corsa c and ive got 1 on my B, neither with problems, had me mams a year now, now sign of rust.:)

look at all that lovly rusty looking pipe, thats what i dont like about powerflow pipes!

:)

Errr, so far, about £800 :lol:

But then i paid £150 for my first 6x4 (first one made for the corsa :D) then £50 for another 6x4, then it cost me about £300 to get them put together, welded up with framework to support them, and fromt he Cat back (2" pipe, no centre box). Took about 5 hours to do.

Then i've been back a few time to get a new system (centre) made up etc.

But if i were to use their 6x4 tailpipes, and to do it as one, probably about £350-£400.

powerflow have really let themselves down by letting fuckwits do their work. some powerflow dealers do complete half arsed jobs whilst others do such a spot on job and give top notch advice. its best to search for a decent dealer.

From what ive heard the Powerflow at St Albans seems to be one of the best.

I would like to know this also. Powerflow in Cov are crap. I was thinkin about goin to Ascar in Sheff, but i've heard some horror stories about them too

na mr daimo

who me?
i aint got a powerflow bb, just centre and pipes etc.

how much did yours set you back then d, cause i like your style but id have mine a bit further apart.

powerflow exhausts depends on the guy fitting. its all down to him at the end of the day, imo i dont think that they're that bad, but you might get a tosser that'll make a proper bodge job of it.

Again, mixed opinions on Powerflow. I've had no problems with mine, nor has Donna, C13RSA got it done at POwerflow, and so did Daves white/then blue C4RSA.

Few people have had bad stories, and a few good.

right im after a custom zaust but aint gotta clue of were to go.

i know what i want, its a dual exit with twin end rolled pipes and no cat.
powerflow are crap so i hear.
looking to spend around 250£

anyothers in or around the west midlands area?

anyhelp is greatly recieved!

cheers! :thumbs:
