ITB'd MK1
I'm really pleased with my Janspeed. only a mug would even ask powerflow for a quote
If it's a 1.4 Mk1 then you'll probably be limited on what you can get off the shelf as it's not a 'performance' model? Although I'm only guessing so may be wrong lol
If I'm right, custom job might be the only option.

Powerflow in Burnley have always made top quality systems, never had or heard of anyone having an issue with any of theirs and they come WELL recommended in the Mk1 world.

Powerflow is only a brand at the end of the day, its the garage thats doing the work which is what it balls down to, ive seen some dire systems from certain Powerflow branches but at the same time ive also seen some awesome ones. You cant just tar them all with the same brush, lol. Narrow minded much.

exactly Greeny, the guys in the Burnley branch have been around ages and their system are top quality. My only gripe would be that they are a little too loud for me these days, but then every aftermarket system tends to be like that anyway, especially 2.5" ones.
lol....how little you know then.
the 1s in burnley have fitted systems to 3 of the 4 quickest clios around here....and the uk..... spec for spec

right about the different garages doing different quality jobs, but they still use substandard materials. I worked for them for a short period (Top Gear) and walked out as the whole thing was a joke. EVERY afternoon is assigned for warranty work FFS
mines been fitted 7+ years now. take it back once a year to get the garauntee book signed...thats it.....no problems to report.

My old Powerflow Wayne now has and it's still in fantastic condition, it's about 8 years old now

Anything stainless is for chavs. Mild steel fits better and has better exansion qualities for a fast car.
172 - 249bhp @ the wheels
mild steel is for paupers, or idiots who like replacing their systems every year or two

So why is it for paupers if you have to replace the system every year? Surely that costs more and means its for rich people?
Please explain the contradiction.
Are you drunk?
stainless is for chavs??? lmao.
how you work that out?? fits better......errrr..no it doesnt.
and what exactly is exansion?? is that the chav spelling of expansion??

I CHOSE a mild steel system as i hate the sound of stainless. Price wasn't a relevant consideration
almost nearly funny

I dont drink.
It's not a contradiction, I also just felt like making a generalised sweeping statement
Most people live for the now and dont see the long term picture, so why spend more now when a cheap botch job will suffice?Front end on Williams 0002 is a good example of a cheap quick fix. Looks reasonable from a distance, but on closer inspection it's covered in overspray. Next best example is buying 6 months tax instead of 12. Cheaper now, more expensive in the long run. Mild steel exhaust, cheaper now, more expensive in the long run.
There are sh!t loads of systems for the Mk1's, boils down to choice, but my Powerflow is 8+ years old and is absolutely fine. There's loads of other good systems out there too, I just had a good experience with the one made by the lads in Burnley, so feel they deserve a mention.

Do powerflow burnley do titanium exhausts?

No

I see this thread has been as useful as a floppy in a ***** house! so is powerflow and mongoose the best recommend systems?
ITB'd MK1
well i'm impressed with my Janspeed. Good sounds, no knocking on the axle like the mongoose normally does, and friendly on the wallet. Piper system for a mk1 is really nice too

is their a huge difference in size between the mk1 and mk2 when it comes to fitting ?
again....depends on the outlet. the only warranty work carried out on mine in 8 years its been fitted is the yearly once over check needed to keep the warranty going.
seems like you choose some really s**t places to work.....lol
mild steel is for paupers, or idiots who like replacing their systems every year or two
what about people who run rallycars and prefer the weight reduction of mild over s/s?
