powerflow offer nothing other than a long lasting exhaust in most cases (depends where its been welded up)
they very rarely free up performance on saxo's. usually lose power

I have had a Piper and Magnex. I rate both but prefer the Magnex. Crusing on the motorways with the Piper was a bit noisy but the Magnex is pretty quiet unless you put your foot down or at low revs. The Magnex has a lovely gurgle when coming down through the revs.
