power flow/ longlife exhausts
« on: February 19, 2009, 07:57:14 pm »
hi im looking down the route of an exhaust now as ive done the remap, i know everyone raves about the miltek ect but was wondering if anyone has had any experience of a power flow custom system? or long life custom system? just an idea rather than following the trend?

....

Are "power flow" and "long life" just adjectives or names of exhaust manufacturers? If you used capitals where appropriate I wouldn't need to ask.

Cheers for clarifying that, Mitch :happy2:

I'm afraid I'm a bit of a Milltek fanboy and know them well and so don't need to look elsewhere.

My advice, for whatever it's worth, is to get an exhaust which has been designed and developed specifically for your car model and also with regard to established tuner's remaps. As well as Milltek, Blueflame and APR are also manufacturers who have developed specific exhausts.

It wouldn't be right for me to criticise Power Flow / Long Life as I don't know anything about them.

I'll second the above, if going for a Powerflow, you might as well save your pennies and get a Peco backbox from Halfords. Build quality is atrocious and the drone is horrendous. I've heard good things about Blueflame, apparently they actually do OEM work for the likes of TVR, however I'm happy to corrected on that one. I'm also keen on Miltek (no better way to make an R32 sing), although I've heard they have a tendency to drone on the GTi and the APR is the better option? Again, happy to corrected on that, just what I've read whilst doing my research.

LOL - if it's all the same with you, I think I'll try and get the car first... Just put a new EGR, turbo, inlet and exhaust manifold on my car, so the budget has taken a bit of a hit...  :sad:
