Zedrush Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I had a powerflow on my old celica, make sure you get your service done regular as even though the pipes are stainless steel and life time warrenty, the welding is not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinbad Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Ive had one on a previous car too. Although it wasnt the straightest/best design for flow rates it did hold up pretty well and i got abit of power out of it too. It looked great and sounded brilliant at the time although you could hear me a mile away. Other people have had bad experiences with powerflow so i guess it all depends on where you get it done as they are hand made in a way. As Zedrush (Jay) says just keep an eye on the welding. Im sure it sounds the ace!! Sound clip and pics asap please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh its nothing major mate, as they will repair it as in their terms and condition as long as you get stamped once a year it covers the workmanship too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I had one on a previous car but prefer exhausts designed for the car! It looked ace but droned like hell at 70 and they couldn't sort it. All the welding held up etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the welding held up etc Depends what set up you get, as they can always add boxes to the pipe to reduce noise and dronage, the only problem is after you have chosen how loud you want it, you cannot make louder by reducing the number of boxes as the pipe would had to of been modified and cut to accomadate the additional boxes. So a whole new pipe would have to be installed, So my advice is when getting powerflow exhaust make sure you choose the right loudness first as you can always make it quieter but you can make it louder after install Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N15MNO-Daron Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I shud have made a separate posting about Powerflow.. or as my local performance dealer calls them.. "Powershit". Dont use them! They screwed up two of my previous cars.. one due to not welding properly and the air pressure was so much it was seeping out the sides of the backbox.. (it felt like the backbox was gona explode everytime i accelerated) they looked at the problem several times but it never seemed to go away.. Second was for a Boxster S and they told me they did one before just recently..and they knew exactly what i wanted.. (my request being a strong sound under acceleration but quiet below 3000rpm..) but what they created was v different.. a horrible resonating exhaust that was so loud u might as well have had no exhaust at all... and they refused to make me another unless i pay again ..and whats even worse they insisted that the sound was fine!! cheeky sh*** They also conveniently lost the original fittings for the Boxsters stock exhaust.. worth over £100 and didnt compensate me at all. DONT USE THEM!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
