Powerflow is where dad had his made up. Cream my pants a little when you hear the turbo "cooo" on a gear change.

my full stainless system was free...

the linkpipe was £50 cash, and they can/will do a full system for 2-300 depending on size and bits added..

If its the one I gave you it wasn't originally free lol...someone paid for it at some point! Never did find the recipt for that particular catback though.

Fair enough Sam, didn't realise PF did them so cheaply!

I'd never pay that lol. It was a receipt for the '6 I bought last year!

I've only ever paid up to £100 for used stainless backboxes and catbacks for 306s, never bothered on any other car lol. Thought about it on the Focus but it doesn't even have a bumper cut-out so no point really.

agreed, but when you're female and need the car 'working' the next day, what can we say, high street garages aren't nice places.

As we can see it varies allot, a 205 I broke had a Powerflow exhaust on complete with mild steel weld's and a invoice for over 500.00 and that was from the back of the D/P back, I could have done better and I hate exhausts,

One of those things, you always here about people being ripped off for this and that, but it's there fault as some research would show all, I see it all the time
