Just another fine example of a pooflow system tbh

On a Saxo/106 this exhaust system will replace the catalytic converter (which has been reported to restrict engine power by up to 25%) with a de-cat
|
So if I put this on my VTS, according to him I'll have 150bhp? Genius.

I had the displeasure of listening to a TU engined 306 with no silencers. One of the crappest sounds i've ever heard. Not sure how they managed to charge £500 for that..

510 quid ?.... Id rather buy 2 Prada jumpers at about 250 quid each and use them as waxing rags. That would be more useful money spent lol.

haha if youve ever heard a saxo or 106 with no exhaust you'll know that this is worth about the same as jeremy clarksons knowledge on a sunday evening.

Powerflow are not that bad tbh. I've got a cat back system that I got cheap to replace the rusted standard one on my VTS, has a subtle tone similar to magnex. Btw dont get me wrong, I am not recommending them because when funds allow I will be purchasing a better system.
