Well, £327 to be exact!! lol

You can get different styles but no oval that I could find, They do a 4 or 5'' jap can style system which IMO would look awful on a euro car.
Theres the twin pipe which I have. Pipes are 3'' twins so bigger than standard & cos its stainless steel it keeps clean easily!

If your after an oval i think Blueflame or someone with a similar name to that can do them for you, A few members on here have one but I cant remember their names. I think the price was pretty good but I dont know what they sound like. Ive only seen/heard Milteks & scorpion.

I have had a Powerflow before and they were fine although i probably wouldnt go there again! I was thinking Blueflame for mine but i dont know, i have too many other things to do first really

You could just keep your standard exhaust? :whistle:

Ive had Supersprint and this has been the best in way of fitment and noise. Not too OTT. But very good quality.

Now have Blueflame turbo back. Quite loud but probably due to racing 100 cell cat.

I have sound clip of Supersprint if you want to listen? :)

Had a powerflow system a while back in a 205.. Was handy at time because of just dropping the MI16 engine in and needing a dp to suit...
Have to say they did a spot on job of making the exhaust up, welds and fit where perfect, never had a problem from it and that was full system...
But on the other hand I see where people are coming from because I would never have 1 of there exhaust made up for any turbo car....
The exhaust can make so much difference to a turbo'd car its unreal. I think you'd find that the kinking in the pipe around the bends would upset the flow quite a bit. And not even the best powerflow fitters can get around that because they just don't have the tooling...

If I had a naturally aspirated car again I would consider using them but turbo'd its a big thumbs down....

I have a powerflow system on my ibiza, Its well over a year old and still looks good. All pipe work is good quality. And my car produces the same amount of power as others with the same setup which are running 3 inch DP with 2.5 inch exhaust.

Mine has a 2.5 inch Miltek DP with 2.25 inch exhaust, works well, sounds good and looks nice.

Each to there own i suppose.

I think because powerflow are custom made it all depends on who does it. Luck of the draw tbh.

Exactly......

As Cupra_matt says his was good.......very good, but there are just as many who have had problems.....

Some people have skilled fabricators construct their exhaust and some have had donkeys.....

Miltek/supersprint/scorpion etc are all just safe reliable and reknown exhausts......

Its all about the risk and the opinion of the customer......

listen to other opinions and make your own decision :)

you all seem to like miltek exhausts, ive jus had a powerflow full de cat system put on my new formula sport and it sounds gr8! my m8's also had 1 on his clio and its sounds v.loud too! i had a powerflow backbox on my old car and der was no problems with it and my m8 has had his for 2 years or more and no problems yet. it probs jud depends on what garage ya get it from, gates tyres in carlisle is good, with a good price like £280inc. tax 4 a full system and you can choose your own tailpipe from a large selection. hope ive swayd ya 2wards powerflow!!!! :)
