I have got a 95 plate (N Reg) Mk3 and am new to the vdub seen. I have been looking at a few exhausts listed below

Powerflow
http://www.powerflowexhausts.co.uk/
These have been recommended to me my some mates.
I am looking for a nice sound but not too loud. I am also on a budget as I need to get my suspension dropped by 40mm and get some rims.
Any recommendations or does anyone have a system or back box to sell?
-
Back box will change your noise but not give you anymore performance.
Cat back system will give you less restriction. But that comes at the price of money, and noise.
-
What exhaust do you have mate? :smiley:
-
I've got a magnex system. looks the bees knees and isn't loud but gives a nice sound.
-
Nice "Mumbles" its that a cat back or backbox? Do you have pics?
-
I have a straight through powerflow custom one.
Benifits are:
Its custom made so it goes high over the axel, lowered it 100mm and it didnt bang.
Lifetime garantee, they will always fix it for free if it leaks etc
Good workmanship at the dealer i used (ipswich)
Sounds amazing
Unlocks restriction, possible BHP increase, and will help with future mods
Bad points:
Drones at 70mph due to their being no middle box's and silencers
Cost £350!
Has a hole where i parked it onto a curb and i cba to go get it fixed for FREE.
Hope that helps. I also had a sports cat fitted for and extra £200. Would recomend a Manifold too.
Worst part is, it will all be up for sale soon as i need a bigger bore for the VR engine to go in!

just backbox at the moment. will try and get pics up sometime, got none just now. its double round tips which I think looks much nicer than square or oval.

I got quoted £180 + Vat for a full system with twin 3inch oval pipes at the Croydon Branch in Surrey!

Has Magnex gone bust? Don't mind spending the dollar but not sure if u get the lifetime warrenty. Will email Demon Tweeks to find out!

What bore size is it though? And what grade of steel are they using?
Sounds like a cheap job to me, and probably be rushed and made to a poor standard.
Wouldnt do it, £300-£400 is a going price for a GOOD custom exhaust.

Cheers for that I will email them tomorrow and update.

Reason i say this is that i have heard of bad powerflow dealers. As powerflow give the machinery to dealers at a price.
Dont mean they are good with the kit. The one i used specialise in modding cars etc, and take it seriously.
Have heard and seen pics of cheap powerflow jobs, with welds and joins that are probably worse than a standard exhaust.

Anyone had experience with OMP exhausts?

The website is great i am liking the Supersport Exhausts with EV_S tail, price is fantastic.
Does any one have a supersport exhaust as they seem popular in Germany.
-
Are you going to fit it yourself? I would recomend getting it dont properly so that it hangs right. I fitted a back box once, and it hung wrong. Hard on a mk3 cus of the axel.

I will properly get it done by a mate at kwik fit, if not i will have to do it myself.

No feedback from Powerflow decided to sack it and look at Jetex or Supersport Exhausts.

Done my research and decided on the Jetex with 80mm twin pipes on the back (have read in loads of other forums that this is the one to go for as sounds great and does not drone to bad on the motorway, not sure on a full system or just a backbox. It also looks like Mild Steel as well for me as its cheaper.
