Powerflow materials are of good quality yes, but they are not a true 'performance' exhaust, yeah it's better than standard, but won't give as good gains as a properly designed mandrel exhaust.
I have one on mine and had no problems with it as of yet though.

Could be different batches/franchises. The steel they are made from isn't normally prone to rusting. Mine's been on for a year now, and living in the countryside, with LOTS of potholes and incredible amounts of mud/water, and mine's not been a problem at all!

I have powerflow cat back on my VTR. Bought it very cheap second hand from eBay... so no idea where it was made.
My views?
Was a fucking shit fit when the car was std height, and is only slightly better now it's lowered.
Been on a year and is still in good condition and sounds pretty good - loud on full throttle but relatively restrained through town.
I quite like it, but with the pure "randomness" of powerflow, I wouldn't buy another
