My new Powerflow exhaust

These are some photos of my new Powerflow cat back exhaust,
It's a 3" Round angled tailpipe similar to those on Audi TTs and the new A4 Convertible.

What do you think, I know some people will think it's too small, but I wanted a subtle, almost stock look, and I like it!

It's pretty quiet BTW, sounds nice and deep when warm!

PS; Yes I know the car is dirty but it has done about 200 miles since I washed it on friday evening!

Nice i like it-how come you didn't go full tt style(one on each side?) How much did it cost roughly?

It cost Â£300, Didn't go full TT style as the boxes would have to sit too low, and I'm not a fan of the wheelbarrow look on small cars!

The guy who fitted mine said cat back twin exit systems start from Â£500

that looks great mate, just right.
Does it poke out from under the valance or has the valance been worked on to accomdate the pipe ? I thought even the quietest powerflow exausts were loud, how u get them to make to quiet ? sry for all the question

The valance has been cut as I wanted it as high as possible, they made a really neat job of it.
I just asked them to make it as quiet as possible, I think maybe the small tailpipe makes a difference?
I've done about 200 miles on it now and it doesn't seem to have got any louder, It has a nice burble at idle but overall it just sounds deeper and a little louder than my old knackered standard system!

nice-is your car lowered at all-just wondering to see if it scrapes on the floor or speed bumps?

It's not lowered yet, on my things to do list

But everything under the car sits just as high as standard so there should be no probs.

I've got a Powerflow de-cat on my Lupo GTi and I asked them to make it quiet as possible but is still quite a bit louder than standard, specially when you press the loud pedal excessively. A lot of people slag the quality of the Powerflow systems but this is the second one I've put on a car and I've never had any problems!
