Are Power Flow Exhausts good?

[Furio-92]

I have the chance to buy a Powerflow back box off my mate, he had it on his corsa, are they good and will this fit onto my saxo?

[Furio-92]

Its a 4" back box too.

[ryanmt]

Theyre a franchise so some are good, some are awful

[Furio-92]

Mostly bad power wise tbh

[Furio-92]

So they are poor powerwise, how about the sound?

[saxtreme]

mine sound abousulty sweet mate but havnt had chance to test the power as i ent got my licnece yet so all i can say is the sound is amazing on mine

[Furio-92]

yeah mate, but the difference from yours to a 4" is pretty big, your's will look awesome on a car

[chris84]

Power flow exhausts are a rip off and dont give any increase in power, they can sound good sometimes though. For the money of a new one fitted you can get a few good race systems that are 10x better!! If you can pick one up very cheap then give it a go.

[Chr15]

ive seen a few of the twin exit 'power'flows - look and sound rubbish

[Furio-92]

How much would you pay for a 4"powerflow backbox?

[Chr15]

£0.00

I just wouldnt :)

[saxtreme]

i agre with chris tbh mate

and it only wourth ago if its shit can sell on ...

[Furio-92]

Well i'm pleased i asked, think i'll give it a miss then, thanks people :y:
What other backbox can i get for a decent price that are better

[Mochachino]

Oval piper! I love them, good sound and good quality for the price.

not true at all, my friends had his glanza on a rolling road, put the powerflow exhaust on and re ran it on the same rolling road, same day and made a 6bhp increase.

some powerflow exhausts are crap, but at the same time some are brilliant as said before, they are a franchise.

so i think its very unfair to say they are all crap.

also keep in mind, changing parts in the engine/exhaust will almost always see a change in power be it a gain or a loss and more often than not a non restrictive exhaust like one made by powerflow will see a gain.

[Furio-92]

What exhausts would you recommend?

[stevie__mc]

i have a cat back 2.5 powerflow on my vtr and its more responsive then what it was before and sounds great.
i wouldnt go for a 4" though. i read somewhere that any back box over 4" on a non-turbo'd car under 1.6 will lose some power or it wont be as responsive

[inkedandpierced]

Supersprint :y:

[clubbz]

Ive got a supersprint on mine and i can tell you it might not be that loud but it gives a nice little rasping noise that you cant beat, if i was you mate id save up for a straight through supersprint system or a piper system :)

Mostly bad power wise tbh

IMO i disagree with that, ive got the center section and middle silencer along with backbox on my other Vtr, its not as big as a 4", it sounds amazing when driving and the responsiveness and power was quite noticeable when i put it on. But then again this was made for a saxo and it fits with no problem at all :y:

But straight through systems wont pass MOT though will they?
