Check this out.

He fitted Powerflow parts (very badly) and when I contacted Powerflow they did not want to know.

Will try to find some pics. They are truly shocking and it went to court.

I had a powerflow exhaust on my 172 cup, don't get one, quality is bad, fit is bad and they have to cut the flange off your original exhaust so they can weld it onto the new system so it fits the manifold/cat. Stay well away mate. Only my opinion though.

Fully agree with everyone else, i had a cat back powerflow system on my vectra sri 150 and was crap quality. Started off life not load enough then as the miles rolled on it got louder and louder, in fact took it back to place where fitted as i thought the exhaust was blowing, they fobbed me off and said everything was okay.

Took it to my mate at kwik fit for a second opinion and turned out to be the cat that was broke.
Thankfully i was in the company maintainance scheme with the car policy at work and overdrive paid for a new one.
Car was 2 year old with 70k so warranty was past.

Anyway when i decided to get rid of the powerflow system, i had to get a new centre section as they had cut and welded the centre section of the powerflow just after the cat joint flange.
Also so much for life time guarantee, the exhaust was a pile of rust when it was removed, probably only had a few thousand miles left!

Good luck with another system

I have one on my 03 wrx, came with the car when I bought it. Sounds fantastic, but I didn't know they were bad quality.

Might consider changing at the first sign of any problems.

Really does sound good, and the twin 2" pipes look subtle.

They are rubbish! Had one fitted to an mx5 and never again, as above, they cut the flange away and welded the new backbox onto the old pipe. Had problems with it always nearly falling off and tried taking it back, the garage didnt want to know. Waste of time!

Had the same sort of deal on my Honda, don't think it was called powerflow though. Neighbour reversed into drivers door so had to change back in a hurry as the exhaust and filter were not declared to the insurance. Thought no problem still have old back box just have to throw it on. No chance as has been mentioned before they had cut the flange off the middle section and welded on a clamp style tube. Had to buy centre box then found out that they had damaged the back box removing it. Never again Always going to go for quality, stuff the price!
