Dragon Dave 1 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I got a Powerflow cat back system for my GTi 8v. I could choose exactly what I wanted it too look and sound like. They can make it as quiet as the standard exhaust if you want. I went for a mild sport sound. The sound was awesome, really deep. I don't know how many bhp the power increased by but I noticed it. The throttle was much more responsive and the car was fast for an 8v.I would recomend Powerflow and when I have to get a new exhaust for the VR6 it will be a Powerflow.

jenkins 0 Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 sounds like i will take a trip to these guys, was your exhaust expensive ? im wanting Cat back Link to post Share on other sites
Dazdub 0 Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 I think they are about £365 (roughly) for a full system. Check out their web site and they will show you where your nearest Powerflow dealer is. Link to post Share on other sites

Knightrider 1 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 I've been in Golf VRs, a Corrado VR and Pug 205 GTis with Powerflows and I think that they are absolutely appaling. Sorry those with them, they are completely chav. I know you can specify it to your taste, but most people's taste who fit Powerflow seems to be way too loud. They produce massive sound from tickover to about 3,000 rpm and then quieten out, so in the rev range you are in most of the time, you can't speak to the passenger. Sorry fans, I hate them.

Lukey. 381 Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Magnaflow are available as pre made fit yourself and actually look and sound pretty good to me anyway. Not too pricey either £340 for a cat-back. They are definitely a contender for the replacement on my car. Link to post Share on other sites
sharky_70 0 Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 yeah i found them but only do 2.35" over here Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry fans, I hate them.[/quote']Yeah me too. My mate used to have a Powerflow on his Corrado G60 and it was way too loud, and not only loud, but boomy to go with it. The kind of drone that gives you a headache and you have to shout at a constant 3000rpm on the motorway to hold a conversation. Like Sharky, I am a big fan of the American silencers such as Magnaflow and Borla. Both are excellent quality and quiet in operation, whilst still giving you the flow.
