Default Powerflow - Slough

Anyone had any experience?

I have a friend who works for Paramount Performance and he recommended them to me..

Just a quick search I find mixed opinions, but 2 good buddies have had work done there and only have good things to say!

Check what the biggest size tube they use is. Last time I used them (St Albans in '99 ) The largest diameter they could work was 2", not much good on a scoob. They did make a lovely job of my GSI2000 though.....

I used the St Albans one years ago as well on my Fiat Tipo 16v.

Done an excellent job, full custom made 2.5 inch system with life time warrenty, that system out lived the car...

I used Powerflow over in Essex about 7/8 years ago on a Prelude Vtech, they did a fine job of bodging a HKS full system that no on else would touch.

Why go custom? Unless you want to go for a side exit to spit flames and melt paint on the car next to you!..

I had two different powerflow systems on my last car, my biggest grumble was the grade of stainless steel they used, not T304, so it did rust on the surface. They wouldn't honour a warranty claim unless the rust performated the exhaust

For the price you may as well get a well know off the shelf one. My blitz was a perfect fit and on a group buy was only £400 for a 3" cat back system
