Anybody used Powerflow Exhausts or similar and have any experience they can share?

Looking for at least a catback solution for my V60 T6 and looking more than likely I have to go for a custom built setup.

Edit: Went a different route

Many, many years ago! They did a cracking job on my Alfa 145 QV at the time though.

But I believe they are franchises, so it's very much down to the particular branch you use. You might be better off looking for local opinions.

Bought one off ebay yearsssss ago for my Nissan 200sx
Was 5" at the tail end. 3" all the way to the engine

Loud but made the car more alive

Stainless steel, good quality

Many, many years ago also... very much a different experience to bazzabear. Mine was a jap style straight through on a Celica GT4. Thats how far back it was.

The ape I had to deal with was rude and obnoxious. "Sporty or loud?". Asked him what the difference was or could he show me any examples of any other fitted cars in the car park. "No. Sporty our loud?".

It was also mounted on some support braces which looked stupid. Said braces then had the welds snap after 3 months. Terrible, terrible experience and still recall the ape who insisted on my sporty or loud decision to be made blindly on what was a very expensive system. Wish I walked away and went elsewhere.

I used Zaustworx (in Burnley, I'm in Co. Down) they have a lot of pre designed stuff that they can make and send out, if you have no joy locally. They might be a good shout. I bought a set of twin exits to replace the last third of my S4's system, wasn't dirt cheap but there were more expensive supiers out there too and their welds were spot on.

Similar for my old WRX (bugeye), 3" turbo back with 4 1/2" you could hear everything going on up in the engine bay from the rear of the car and sounded fantastic if a little antisocial when getting out of the drive heading for early flights.
 
After driving the car for a few more weeks I felt I didn't want to get anything too noisy, it's quite a peach to drive at higher speeds and wasn't up for paying the ££££ for a custom solution. So after speaking to a local custom fab guy, he reassured me that a res "delete" (sigh) should be fine on my Ovlov and a relatively simple job.
I took a gamble, given his experience and work on a few Volvos, and he was correct.

Y pipe fab and fit whilst I waited and it's still quiet inside, no drone but a subtle noise outside. Just what I wanted.


I'll get a better video at some point, when it's not raining...

They are a franchise, you are either going to get cowboys or people that do an amazing job

I think resonator delete on many cars is a good way to go. I got a double res delete on my m140i as I wanted a bit more noise without going into loud droney chav territory and it's ended up pretty much exactly how I wanted. Bonus is that it cost £200 compared to a grand for a cat back exhaust system
 
Years ago I had one put on my MKII Golf GTi after I spent a small fortune on having it bored out to 2 litres and some cams put in.

Sounded great and released a mighty 179BHP with the engine work! The good old days of N/A tuning, probably cost me the best part of £300 per BHP...
