i previously owned a mk3 astra which had a powerflow catback system which i think was like a year old at that point, welds were all fine only thing i didnt like about it was the tailpipe altho that was the previous owners choice.
well im willing to give them a try, its the St-Albans Top Gear Branch

Hi i own the topgear branch in burnley and as a lot of you know we do power flow exhausts, its not powerflow that are bad ( the old grade of stainless did get surface rust but it was not rotten) just some of the franchises sorry but i had to say some thing

...just some of the franchises, yes.
And yes, a little bit of surface rust, I do think this pic's the ironic one, where you can just about make out the word "longlife":

And here's the top quality stainless finish, on a Powerflow exhaust, just nine months after it was fitted:

well whatever people have said due to my lazyness of not wanting to travel miles to get an exhaust done, im pretty happy with what they have done today at powerflow
we had it up on the ramp and i think it was blowing from the centre altho i didnt think the backbox was this fubbered

all that knocking and banging sound has gone, it also now doesnt of petrol when the engine is running, i got them to replace the lambda sensor at the same time hopefully that will solve my 10-15mpg problem, i put in £15 got half a tank see if that will get me more then 80 miles this time
bearing in mind this was my first time down the motorway in it, what an animal just eats up the miles acceleration mid range and top end is very impressive, seemed to pull alot smoother on the way home, im happy with the choice of tailpipe and the way it has come out in general, sounds is perfect aswel

sorry picture came out a bit dark but has got a nice chrome finish, i think its the perfect size/ style

well if i wasnt going to go for the sleeper look they had a massive range i just selected this as its not standard, could be mistaken for a tailpipe add on rather then a decent system
