It depends how loud you want it.

Rear silencer plus centre silencer section, no cat.
Make sure they don't just fit empty cans as most Powerflow exhausts seem to have the same godawful drone to them.

Pay more. Even if it's silent, you'll be happier with the exhaust system than if it was too loud.

I dunno, he did call his exhaust a zorst... Loud is definately the way forward in some people's books. Not in mine though.

i live in stuudent accom at uni so don't want it to loud, but did want to keep the price down,hence fewer silencers as they want 50-90 quid for each box and the pipe is a lot cheaper. just wanted to know how few i could get away with, without getting unwanted attention from chavs and joyriders because of the noise

get at least TWO big ones... Im having mine made in a couple of weeks and im getting 3 put in as I want hush hush, P.S im not getting powerflow, im getting PROPER stainless... Also discovered that a quiet exhaust makes me drive with a little more fuel efficiency i.e I dont try and drive round like McRae

Im getting it done at PD Gough just near the Nuttal Island, £300 cash full manifold-back stainless. Waay better than powerflow imo. The Big City Tyres branch of powerflow is useless, they use shit grade stainless and cant weld for jack. I know soo many people that have been disapointed by them. How much are you paying for your powerflow?
