milltek will be about double the price, and double the quality

I had them on a few cars before and they was alright personally on VAG cars I would go for Miltek or Blueflame  :cool:

only as good as the person fabricating them really

Another alternative is to find a local exhaust place with a good reputation and get one made up

A lot of my mates have had Powerflow in the past and have never had a bad thing to say about them. As Rhyso said they have all used one particular Powerflow garage in Stoke on Trent so perhaps the guy there just happens to be sh1t hot?

You do get a lifetime warranty (as i think you do with Milltek?) so aside form the ahssle i suppose its not the end of the world if it breaks and its cost you half the price is it?

Having said all that i will be going for a Milltek catback due to the amount of good feedback on here, but i think their full system is massively overpriced  :undecided:
Mk4 GTi-T AUM l R-Tech Stage 1 l AP Coilovers l Forge 007p l New Style RS4's 18" l Toyo Proxies 4 l Hofele Bumper Grills l Silver Interior Trim l N249 Bypass l Front & Rear Powerflex bushes l Forge TIP l CAI l GolfGTi.co.uk Stickers l Catch Can Fitted & PCV System Deleted l Redstuff Rear Pads l More to come...

Exactly why i went to a local place - £300 for a catback system, fully fitted and with a lifetime guarantee AND a free LED keyring torch  :grin: :grin:

Kind of wish I'd gone to them for the downpipe too but hindsight is a wonderful thing

+2, i had a lovely system made up by blue flame for my old supercharged mr2 a few years ago, i'd originaly got a magnex system but the back box didn't last long as the over fueling burnt the arse out of the baffles in no time, disentegrated 3 magnex back boxes before i went to blue flame  :evil:

The blueflame system was better all round, quality, alot lighter than the magnex and the original, it looked the dogs  and i had no problems with the baffles it was spitting flames till the cows came home  :laugh:

This was the beast, you can see the blueflame exhaust in the 1st pic (note the back box is about half the size of the original and no cat the whine from the charger was awesome :evil:;





And the engine build i did;



Sorry for going off topic a bit there but basically yeah blueflame are decent systems  :smiley:
