putting one of these backbox's in would mean moving the backbox from its original postial from horizonatal along the back of the car to vertically, its harder to do i thinkand there is less space for the box. Powerflow keep the backbox where it is, and can build pretty much anything u want, there just a tad pricey, but according to everyone, worth it |

I've heard a few bad things about Powerflow. Not just recently either, but going back quite a while..... I can't critisise because I've never used them, but due to the stories I've heard, I probably never will use them. The fitters are of course not directly employed by Powerflow though, merely operating on a franchise type basis. So powerflow products could be fine. But after reading Marks story, which I'd read before anyway, I'll be staying away from them. I built my own exhaust for the BG, so I know whats involved. It took me about 10 hours, using axle stands and done it in my driveway. I used a MIG welder. I ended up with a decent stainless system, with mandrel bends and a Remus back box for less than £200. in my opinion it sounded pretty damn good too. Never really had any problems with it, and I managed to go over the back axle without a dent or oval tube. If I can do it, then surely its not too much to ask that the pros can do it too!!! 
I also think theres a Longlife fitting centre in Yorkshire now..... Leeds I think.

Longlife is Powerflow. It's the same guy that started both franchises. I also needed patchwork doing to mine afterwards by a mechanic/welder who knows what he's doing. The steel's not the best but was fine. Depending on your whereabouts in Yorkshire, you might be about an hour's drive of Wigan? Give the guys at [url=http://www.blueflameperformance.com/car/exhausts/custom_exhausts.asp][b]Blueflame Performance[/b][/url] a call. They make standard fit systems for TVR amongst others, including British Superbike racing teams. i.e. They know what they're doing! And I'm dead chuffed with mine. |

I'm just about to go back to powerflow in Hull. I wasn't too pleased with their last effort on my F, but have been led to believe they're much better now. I'll report back, let you know how it goes! Ad |

If you wanted a quote from them, they're at elite bodyworx on Sutton Fields. I've been told their more recent work is spot on! Suppose i'll find out next week! lol Ad |
