i wouldnt go with powerflow systems mate, only thing u'll gain is a stainless steel system over the standard.

If you havent got the money to spend now then just save for abit longer and get a good system.

is that all you will get is the stainless and no bhp.

pretty much the same with all exhausts though, especially if its a cat-back system.  The gains come mainly from replacing the standard CAT with a sports cat; that helps free up the mid-range torque.  BHP increase is negligible

thats what i thought i was thinking og de-cat anyway but not sure on that one.

i have got the money for a miltek but was just thinking of something else abit cheaper,i know miltek has a good name but so does powerflow just got to think of which one to get and which one will be the best in the long run.

If you fancied a trip to Cardiff I'd highly recommend Pro-Speed

They fitted my cat-back system for £300 - sounds mint :afro:

Well unless you want to sound bad boy racer, i'd go for Res, quiet hum on idle and opens up on throttle, non res bumbles of idle and gets too Baked bean can. On a V6 yeah, doesnt matter as they sound awesome but 1.8t...

Ive got the miltek res btw. Not heard jetex/powerflow

i disagree there jordy ive got the non res miltek and it dosent sound like a bad boy racer or baked bean can! the sound it makes is nice and subtle! if you've only got a 1.8t then one exhaust exit is enough  :lipsrsealed:
agreed  :wink: non res turbo back on mine 4mo style pipes and sounds awesome!! yeh miltek maybe expensive but you get what you pay for at the end of the day  :rolleyes: each to their own as we all have different set ups and only having a mil;tek on mine i cant really comment on the others although i have heard that the jetex ones are reasonable

ive read and herd a lot about the miltek cat-back system, Ive got the 2.slow but i think thats the one im saving my pennies for as a lot of people say inproving the air flow through the engine will give a greater top speed for the 2.slow :smiley:
as NEgti says you get what you pay for  :cool:

+ im going for non-res, if im paying the money i want people to know what ive got!  :evil:
