Pretty sure we put the smallest box they do on it. And think the tip is a 4''slash you can get one which has a burnt tip too if you like it.

Also with powerflow the workmanship depends where you get it done as the systems are made in the garage you go to and its there welding which counts so make sure you go to a powerflow which has a good rep for there systems. :thumbsup:

Yeah im doing the same, theres a powerflow place near me in darlington, but as plp have mentioned it depends on the garage, the one in darlington is ment to be crap. I went down to the place, walked in and all the techs were slouched in their seats playing on their phones, they didnt seem to care. I then went to the reception desk, and asked how much a cat back system would cost for my car. The only information i gave him was i had a toyota yaris t sport, he replied £280, he didnt ask me any other question's. I thought to myself the service was :censor: he didnt seemed bothered either.

I then heard from a friend of mine that there was another place called unique exhausts so i gave them a ring. The service was great they use full stainless steel (t130, or whatever it is) not just on the boxes like powerflow do, but on the actual pipeing aswell. He asked me what car it was, what size engine, what size end pipe i wanted, and also what type of sound i was after aswell.

And to top things off it was cheaper £250 was the price, mint! and im also going to try and get a bolt on decat pipe thrown in aswell, as i know someone who knows them :D . Ive got the money now, but i really want to get an envy 4 branch manifold first, second hand as i want a full system.

So i will be putting it in the wanted section, anybody know of anyone who is selling one, give me a shout plz!

Anywho i probably bored you with my story but just thought i would give you my opnion of powerflow. The reason i said unique exhaust sytems are a full stainless steel is because i heard powerflow use mild steel for their pipeing and only stainless steel for thier boxes.

Thanks gain

nah powerflow use stainless steel, well where my friend runs he says they use it. mild steel would rust surly and then the life time guarantee would be worth nothing???

When we were doing mine he ran out of the wire ya use for welding and we had to wait to get the right one. i said ''cant you use the welding machine next door and he said that was for welding mild steel and that would be ponitless on a stainless steel pipe work'' so guess they dont use mild steel. He also said that his company has to buy the pipe work and boxes and tips from powerflow but he could buy the pipe from other companys so i guess some people who do systems under the name of powerflow could i guess be buying and using mild steel at a cheaper cost but selling them as stainless steel and at a profit???just a thought :thumbsup:

Be original, go for a Blitz, sound awesome especially up in higher revs, nice and quiet lower down though if you just have the backbox. I've got a De-Cat and Exhausts UK centre section and thats made it louder and freed up the rev range on the car :)
