powerflow can vary massively from different franchises. some are utter shite, others are ok.

main thing is to make sure they DONT use the actuall powerflow boxes and stainless tubing, its utter shite hence the reason most powerflow franchises dont buy it.

The one i got from Rebal Powerpipes in Lincolnshire has been absolutely fine, had the car jacked up recently over winter and theres no rust whatsoever. Saying that ive heard some bad stories so guess its just down to which place you go to.

I wouldn't buy one, they are called powerflow but I honestly doubt that any of their exhausts have been designed for a specific car let alone to enhance power.
I suppose if you are just after something that sounds and looks good then it doesnt really matter, but why go for a cat back system if thats your aim? surely just get a backbox from the likes of magnex or similar and fit it yourself in less than 30 mins!

The one on mine was done at the one in Leek and the workmanship looks pretty good.

From South Africa. It's not suitable for use in the UK for exhausts due to road salting.

I see, well yeah like i say i havent had one problem with it and the service was superb, all done in under 2 hours and was just what i wanted.

Would always recommend them to others

My Dad's got one on his 200 BRM VVC and it sounds like a Mini Cooper with an RC40 centre exit.

thats the point I made in my first reply, powerflow products are utter shite and dont meet british standards, so make sure that the powerflow you use doesnt use powerflow pipes and boxes.

or just go to a decent exhaust place to start with
