    Yeah ive heard mixed reviews on them in worcester and alot of people have them and reccomend them and always have done apparently to alot of people in my area.but i think im going for somethign smaller than a 4" as its fairly big i think and tbh its only a 1.1 so itll look and sound silly.Yeah i just wnat to tidy the rear end up befoe i lower it..i wont be getting it just yet prob a few weeks as ive just bought some black angels which arrived yday

    There not really a budget mate,but i dont wnat to spend too much,,but i mainly just want the backbox for now,The place where i may get the powerflow exhaust from customise it do your own exhuats so its unique and fits the car to your choose and are stainless steel aswell and take a few weeks for them to be ready as there really popular.

    ive actually had a powerflow and supersprint, would stay well away from powerflow to be honest, and i highly reccomend supersprint, the centre sections are amazing build quality for the price

    tbh mate, anyone can make an exhaust, stick to known brands and you know waht your getting, i mean this, lots of garages can make exhausts, its a piece of piss, but to have a decent exhaust some research has to go into it, end of the day modifying isnt cheap but saxos are really comon so theyve been done and done, which mean by now you get good parts for good money as theyre so common, custom exhausts are good, but for if going for custom you need a reason imo(not always the case just my opinion), say a very high spec car that you wish to breath properly, and they normally arent cheap, so unless theyre a very reputable fabricator id stick to a pre made design,,

    Yea powerflow are more custom for looks and sound really arent they?? I got 1 on my vts, woz on when i bought it 4"rolled out and my mate has a 3" rolled out on his vtr, they both might sound ok but getting rid of it for 1 more designed 2 improve power..a 2" supersprint race system kamracing quite cheap.

    Supersprint is one of the best, and very good for the money, sounds raspy, and a popular choice

    Cheers for all the advice guys,yeah ive heard a few peoples powerflows and they sound good and i agree that they are customised to what you like etc,,so there unique,,but ill see what my banks levels like and go from there,i had a look on kamracing(so good stuff on there)if i did go for an exhuats i think itd go for a 2 or 3" not a 4" as i think itll look too big.

    As I said ive tried powerflow and supersprint mate, in my opinion, supersprint every time

    Save up a bit longer n get a Supersprint system

    lol thats brill very ture thou

    I had a powerflow on my Mondeo ST24 it was ok, nothing spec really. There are a few for sale in the for sale section but id be careful about buying a 2nd hand one as they are a very custom design exhaust and what the person selling it likes may not be what you like.

    As prev said really anything bigger than a 3" is going to be loud on a small engine but if I was you just stick to the know brands as its better quality and power, Supersprint, Piper or Magnex you cant go wrong
