Re: Power flow or long life exhausts?
I would never, ever buy another powerflow system.
Poor manufacturing quality, s**t sound, poor after sales service. Basically it's a 300 quid crap exhaust.
Main issue that they use straight-through (unbaffled) silencers imo. You also have to take the car for a checkup every 12 months to maintain the warranty. Obviously not THAT confident of their product.
Lots of people like exhaustsuk.com, the quality of service seems okay (with some nagging) but the exhausts are fine. My old man has had one for about ten years, never been examined by them, still perfectly intact and no need for annual check-ins with them.

I had powerflow on a mk2 golf gti both 16v and 8 valve although a tad loud they did make a lovely sound and are pretty well made. This was 10 years ago though maybe times have changed

To be fair, the real issue is the installers. Powerflow is a franchise and there's little to no QA at garages concerned; went through three sets of exhaust hangers on the Powerflow (replaced after much nagging) before I replaced them with powerflex ones (which are fine so far).
I have a spare scorpion system that I'll chop and weld the silencers out of onto the powerflow system in the hope it doesn't sound completely bollocksed any more.
