I had a shitty ripspeed induction kit on my Veccy v6 - had no problems at all. the noise was quality just a shame i hated the car  Was an SRI think i could of coped better if it was a proper gsi.
Wastegate looks fcuking awesome pal

vectra is oddly the best car ive ever owned. towed the corsa to crail and back 5 up in the vectra. raced corsa most the day in the rain, towed it back and didnt feel tired or sick of driving at all. really like the gsi. much better than my previous car, a cavalier 1.8ls single point injection.

nearly bought an sri. looked at a cdx but same reg as my gsi was wanting over 2.5k. joke. so i bought the gsi from a whole 5 miles away lol.
next purchase for the vectra possibly....
only 19.99 on the bay. some modification required to fit the v6. im not too shabby on modificating stuff to fit things so shouldnt be an issue.
also really need to see if i can get the brace for the corsa to fit back on. either that or sell it.

another crappy update. its not the same as when the car actually lived in my garage as i cant go and work on it whenever stuff arrives anymore. its a weekend only thing.
some hose clips for boost pipes and some for the 4inch inlet pipe as i only have one and need 3.
short length of exhaust pipe. what you cant make out in the picture is the word "POWERFLOW" on it. awesome. and i need that do begin making.....
new screamer pipe. just going to make a start on it then take it to my work for a full powerflow.
nice.

due to it being a franchise you have good and bad ones.
the powerflow isnt for the exhaust system its for the wastegate by the way. i already have a blueflame hand made job on the car.

Oh right thought you were having a Powerflow exhaust system. I'm yet to come across a dealer to make a good Powerflow system that doesn't rust or split.

problem with the franchise is you have to use the materials that powerflow send out. have seen some great work done at my work in the 2 years ive worked there, and previously had 3 systems made for different cars without any bothers long before i worked there.
everyone slags powerflow off. my experiences have always been good. not just saying that as i work for a place that has the franchise either. (a member on here always slags my work off for no reason though)

tbh, the mornings at work are for talking about football, hastling the salesman and storeman and smoking tabs and drinking tea. i have my hands full already in the mornings at work.

Well its easy for some teenager to come on a website and slag off people, cars, work etc. when they probably have never experienced what they're going on about. I've had a couple of mates have Powerflow systems and they've all been to a seriously low standard. Speak as you find though aye?
