Show Me Your Exhaust Tailpipes.

[Rage]

S'happening.
I'm booked in to Powerflow first thing in the morning to have my exhaust system adjusted and quietened.
I'm currently running a stealth system, but im 'ooooww'ing and arrrr'ing' running a visible tailpipe.
What are you guys currently running?

...The car in question is a PH2 172,
Thanks, Ross.

I know Powerflow has mixed reviews and opinions across the country, but Phil; who runs Powerflow in stafford does an awesome job, as im sure anyone who has visited him will agree.

phil at stafford knows his stuff.very very good at what he does

as long as u trust his work, one near me is crap, piss poor welding and leaking system from welds :nono:

The Powerflow i had on my Saxo was also brilliant. As said, it's down to the person making your exhaust. You can't just call Powerflow crap when one person has done a s**t job, it's just that particular dealer.

Didn't even know there was one in Stafford. I reckon a nice inwardly rolled 2.5"/3" would look good. Id have it recessed in a 182 surround.

 

[couzens]

I quite like the peashooter look atm!

 

[Sam@NP]

Its all about rolled out tips.

 

[Daniel]

3 inch outward rolled tip, sat right up close to the bumper with a small a back box as possible. (Visible backboxes look sheeeeeeee-ite. )

 

[Cooksport]

2.5 or 2.75 inch tip. 3" looks too big IMO.

 

[not normal dan]

I loved my old pea shooter on me old 172

 

[Daniel]

Well, the same as the yozza one, that size is perfect.

(I just assumed that was 3 inch)

I can safely say I've never seen a good quality powerflow exhaust.

I also think regardless of which powerflow franchise build the system for you, they still have major drawbacks compared to an off the shelf item.

From my experience:

- They do not mandrel bend the pipes, which is absolutely crucial to maintain consistent diameter throughout the system and an exhaust system that has bends that have not been made this way will normally lose power compared to the standard system.

- They use the flanges from your original exhaust system when they make your new exhaust (so in effect they build you a stainless system with mild steel flanges, which defeats the object imo and also means your original exhaust can't be refitted in the future as they've butchered it to make your powerflow one)

I had a magnex on my old 172 - wasnt a fan, I much prefer the single pipe or stealth.

This is what pissed me off the most when I looked at my powerflow exhaust about a month after. ITs proper cowboy.

 

[Cooksport]

We have 3 inch on the c2 race car. Looks huge lol!! I think yozza is 2.5?

 

[Rage]

Any pictures that people have suggested?

Phil must use the powerflow franchise to gain his name then. Ive had several full exhaust systems from him, all completely stainless. All completely trouble free!

 

[akaboogie]

well he a pic of the powerflow exhaust i have fitted at the moment..(BUT IT COMING OFF VERY SOON).. cause the last few months it just been pissing me off..(DUNO WHAT I WAS THINKING PUTING IT ON LOL)..

Either go for this option, 3" inward rolled slash cut recessed or stealth I think.

 

[.Andy.]

Stealth or pea shooter FTW!!

 

[leeds_182]

Love pea shooter style. Looks mint.

 

[Naith]
