Post by: Car nut on 04 July 2009, 20:25: I saw a gti t in manc when looking for mine it sounded it bit to loud for my liking.

Think I'm gonna go the blueflame route the twin exit pipe :sad:

sorting out the back end will be my next big job so exhaust will roll into that job.

True to a point, there is no way anyone can just make an exhaust of the top of there hat and it be able to flow aswell as a normal after market exhaust. Companys like Magnex, milltek etc spend 100s of hours and money flow testing there systems to get the best performance.
Also Powerflow is a very poor grade of stainless which still rusts :sick:

Post by: big dodd on 05 July 2009, 22:24: well i had it fitted today and i went for twin 2.5 round very happy with the system and sound did not realise about the low grade stainless but lifetime guarantee so it better not rust while i own it thanks for all your input begining to get to grips with using this forum now lol
