Stainless Exhaust Prices.

[benji]

hi chaps.
i've had a price for a powerflow ehaust system and i was wondering if it sounded about right? i was quoted ?280, that included a pipe from my 4-1 with a single box where my curent middle silencer is and a pipe from there straight out the back in the center, dead easy hardly any bends especially as i have no spare wheel well. if i wanted a twin exit it would be ?340.

are them prices about average? the only other thing is that i wouldn't get the lifetime guarentee as it's a track car :(

thanks
ben.

dont tell them its a track car.... job done

[benji]

they know the car. if i went elsewhere i could get away with it.

Yeah sounds about right, I had a custom twin box system, cost ?500 down from the downpipe, they cut the spare wheel well & its loud! Nothing better then two oval functionning boxes! hmm:cool: Best of all, it doesnt wobble or even move, they make really good exhaust mounting brackets

stainless janspeed from manifold back was 320

heard bad things about powerflow exhausts, for example, been told that some systems may have say a 2 1/2" bore, yet the bore inside the silence isn't 2 1/2" etc etc, things like that

myne was done at stealth in southampton bout ?750 down pipe to back box in 3":) got told power flow wernt as good as there bends reduce in diameter!

[mikey14sr]

They appear to use quite cheap main tubing, Most I've seen have had surfade corrosion within 3 months due to suvh a low nickel content.

[dan16v]

yup my mates rusted and then snapped in very little time! i think on an exhaust you realy want 316L stainless no lower, 316L is expensive but worth the extra cash imo

All the powerflow systems i've ever removed on cars i've broke have been pretty much rotted away due to cheap metal they use, also the bends aren't brilliant, if you want a good exhaust you need one mandrel bent really.

Very true mate, I wish I could convince my cousin to get a nice mandrel bender for his tyre + exhaust place, I would almost work there for free if he did!

[DaveMarshall]

Yeah they certainly make a difference, some exhausts i've seen are almost flat in places where exhaust makers have got a bit excited.

try ascar in sheffield they do a mint job good price to they use t304 grade stainless unlike powerflow which use cheaper grade stainless steel tel 01142722888 ask for pete i had a manifold to back full system with twin exit out middle cost me 350 quid had it on 3 year with no probs at all

[Snowface]

my powerflow rear box is still in good nick after 3 years and i live by the sea.

shame i can't say the same for the rest of the shell.

[Give it some rev]

personally i think that s/s Magnex exausts are of a high quality, iv had no probs with them

[graham kirkbride]

hi lads the weld on powerflow rot first and any way the exhaust rots from inside out so it may look good on the outside but you dont no what the inside is like its up to you realy either way you get a realy good guarentee so nothing to worry about :thumb: if it get a hole in just take it back and they will replace it cannot grumble at that

[jamie gsi16v]

benji try ets in derby, they try and beat powerflow prices and i was quoted 100 less than powerflow, they are also very good

[Steve Barker]

i got mine at blue flame 3" downpipe back it was ?450, iv heard ascar are good, aslo heard that powerflow go rusty ??
