exhaust price

[16v Nova Kev]

roughly how much would a power flow system be worth for an 2.0xe its 2inch bore and comes with a std manifold:confused:
*i have been ofered it to buy im not selling one*

[16v Nova Kev]

ahem

[phazer]

Dont buy. Seriously.

[16v Nova Kev]

why not

[phazer]

You ever hear anyone say anything good about PF? Most of the franchise just knock out exhausts from bits welded together rather than making them (if that makes sense lol), they aren't mandrel bent and most importantly every one I've ever heard sounds ****e.

Not really fair, agreed have seen some powerflow systems like that but if the franchise owner has some fabrication skills and pride they will make a good system, few members on here have some which are excellent quality.

[phazer]

Well yes like anything there are a few that like to do a good job, however they still don't make everything from scratch just mix and match parts which is never ideal. Can you guarantee they've used stainless welding wire? Lots of them don't ;)

The place I used mill their own flanges etc from blanks, everything is mandrel bent etc etc I know where I'd rather go...

[16v Nova Kev]

thing is 100 or 330 easy choice really

[bazil]

there is a guy dowm in Prestwick who custom makes a stainless zorst for your car my bruther has one and is really quiet good and a fair price.

[phazer]

Fair enough, you'll not get much else for £100. Personally I wouldn't but then I don't much care for stupid loud wasp in a tin exhaust noise.

I know and agree with what your saying but a powerflow could be fit for purpose on some cars as they dont warrant a handcrafted exhaust, fit for purpose and all that.

[Angus Closier]

You get for what you pay for in life, If you want that exhaust and you pay £100 Dont expect a work of art! pay £300 and expect a work of art! simple!

[Nobby]

i have a 2.25 pf on mine and its loud! dont really like the sound tbh

[blue_peg_16v]

there are better exhausts tbf but for £100 for thr full system tou arnt going to get anything else a magnex gsi exhaust would be that and you would still have to get it modified to fit, if its a budget build id go for it and you can change it in the future if you dont like it

[wwmnw]

Then another however many hundred quid to replace it when it starts blowing. Ashley systems are good on C20XE's, I can vouch for that (my opinion of course)

[Riggy]

Ashley do an off the shelf nova XE manifold and exhaust system , but **** me they are loud lol , only mild steel aswell but the price is decent

[16v Nova Kev]

think I will go for it. Its for my track car anyway so it will get me by just now cheers lads

If its called rms I won't go near it they have a bad rep now.

how that? my brothers motor is fine he's happy with both the job and price and that was about 6 months ago, bad stories? share with the group:thumb:

[16v Nova Kev]

there was a thread about it a while back. but other than that we sent a set of wheels down to him and they were crap. when they came back and he lost the center caps oh and they were off an audi rs6

[bazil]

ah i see, i go to gordon in hillington for my wheels.

[16v Nova Kev]

i would go to chamelion(spelling) cos my mate just bought it.

[grooge]

aye, rms have supposedly gone downhill since they changed ownership, not had any experience of them personally though.
a know one of the guys that used to work there runs elite exhausts down ayr somewhere and another owns c+c at hillington.
c+c done ma brothers astra and it seems alright. I'm getting mine done by simons in EK next week, heard hes quite good. If you're going for a straight through it shouldn't be to much at most places a wouldnt think.

that the one in linnwood, got a cam cover done there years ago and it wasnt a very good job for the price, i used aztec in hillington the last time.

cnc wanted 330 for a straight thru center section and a back box with no fancy tailpipe no chance im paying that

[16v Nova Kev]

its in renfrew now and my mate just bought it about 3 weeks ago

aye, sack that, a wouldn't pay that either.
I can't remember how much mine is going to cost at simons but it's nowhere near that much. think its about 130 if you supply a backbox but not sure.

[Sloth]

sportex do one for around £200 and they are excellent. from experience you cant beat a 3 inch btb system with repackable silencers.

[16v Nova Kev]

3inch would be way to big as its an xe not a let. also thought about sportex cos they do a straight thru middle section

[blue_peg_16v]

the tail pipe is 3in the actual pipe is 2.25in on a btb system if it was 3in would only fit internal shifter cars and also would give no back presure so an xe would loose power

[Sloth]

peg it was way bigger than 2.25, 3 inch seems familiar, may have been somewhere. it was the one on F668BFK.

[blue_peg_16v]

ive known a few people running btb systems and they have all been 2.25 bar bar 1 that was specialy made for a let in 2.5 and they had the car 2 weeks

[Sloth]

fair do's but this un had a £600 bill, back in 1996.

[Stuart]

well that pram/toy episode didnt last long...... you fanny.

[Sloth]

shush, i got bored of reading retarded comments from noobs. nothings changed, i just decided to give it one more go. have a hug ;)

[Stuart]

but you asked to be deleted.... so the next best thing will do

[16v Nova Kev]

ha ha ha owned lol

[blue_peg_16v]

to be fair sloth that is the price for a btb there not cheap but thats because they know there stuff and there is no way they would put a 3in system on an xe due to the lack of back pressure reducing power bigger isnt always better
