Most people recommended Supersprint, but it depends on your budget as they are a little expensive

exhaustuk.com are pretty much the same as powerflow, there are many powerflows dotted up and down the country, some people rate them some people don't, personnal choice.

I think it depends on which garage you take it too, as one of mates took his to stafford and he said they did a **** job, but another few of my mates have had theres done at Telford and there's are fine.

Powerflow are a franchise so it all depends on the fitter. As far as gains go I can't think of anybody who has said they have seen performance gains from a powerflow exhaust.

iirc the stafford powerflow dealers son used to be on the puntouk forum. His user name name was Yamyzer and I had an abarth rear bumper from him. (Back in my mk2 days.) I remember fitting it on stafford technology park with him!

i don't think people get them for the gains though most people get them for the styling or the stupidly loud noise.

I had my system from powerflow in Stoke, that was 12 months ago and its sound. Looks good and the fitter did a good job !. Depends on personnel choice as other people have said.

Hi Puntokris,
The dealer is in Leek, a place called silversystems. The exhausts are only fitted by one bloke and he was recommended to me by one of my mates!

Cheers Darren.
