Someone said Powerflow do a good job ??

Had powerflow on my 16v absolute mint job and exhaust, can not fault them. Only thing is pipe work made from a cheaper type s/s and do rust. Had mine for 3yrs no probs. Paid £250 for full 3 box system from district motors in bolton, took them about 4-5hrs to make. Highly recommend it.

Not that interested in any decibel increase, as long as it looks good and lasts !!

I've heard people sing Milltek's praises. Are they really that good?

I'm to using supersprint on my 8v now brilliant. Full system but single rear box, Got middle box but took it out and used there link pipe. loud from cold for minute or so then quietens down. Brilliant fit and exh. Used mongoose before it was about 3yrs old and still looked new, worst used magnex only had it for about month could never get it to fit right. Removed it for s/sprint.

I've got a full Scorpion system on my 8v and think its mint.  Not too loud, but still has a sporty tone.  Well built and lifetime guarantee.

Powerflow exhausts are ok, but they all seem to sound the same to me (and they rasp).  Its the welds that corrode on them, but with a lifetime guarantee you can soon get them sorted  :smiley:

I would have to say Remus all the way, not a common choice, but proberbly the best quality system ive ever seen, have had mine on the car for about 5 years, and the boxes and pipes are still as highly polished as they were when fitted....

The system looks good,  (twin square 78mm x 92mm) and the sound is barely increased, gives a really nice sporty note when you boot it..
