Right I started a thread about whether Longlife exhausts are any good, got 90% positive reviews, however today someone recommended a powerflow dealer to me in my local city center! went down today.. and well.. I have no idea anymore, im confused as balls, heres my situation:
- Own a 1.4 172 perfect replica.
- want it to be a 182 rep.
- Hence why im going to these places to find a good deal on a 182 rep exhaust.
Heres what both of them say:
Longlife:
- Dudes a kind of a hillbilly looking dude, someone youd find in a local pub in a corner looking like he wants to stab someone type of guy.
- He's the only dude who came up to me, I explained what I want, he knows the deal
- He agreed with my idea of 1 tail pipe coming out and the other bending round to come out the other side (exactly like the ones off K-tec)
- Said no worries, I can choose my back box and tail pipes etc, 400smackers to install the lot.
All good right? Just the price is abit Mahhh to me.
Went to powerflow today:
Powerflow:
- 3 Different guys explaining shiz to me, got the car up on ramps and were looking under it into what we could do.
- All 3 guys were sound, late 20's, know their cars n shiz.. well seemed like it.
- They say they cant bend the exhaust around the spare wheel well
- Im going to have to go to a body shop and get my well cut out, or half of it cut out
- im also going to need to buy a 182 rear bumper (I have a 172 one on) as apparently 182 Bumpers are 2 inches lower than 172s?!
- Also going to need to go to a body shop and get another exhaust mount on the other side.
This has left me like.. wut?
So!
Longlife exhausts are literally a 3 min drive away from powerflow, I stop back there on the way back, talk to the same dude..
Longlife #2:
- I explain pretty much what powerflow said ^
- He said "Bullshit." "Powerflow are s**t"
- Now ive started a exhaust company war, I lold so fair enough haha.
- I double checked everything with him, "can you do the cut outs? Exhaust mount? Bending pipe round well?"
- He replies "yeah. don't worry about it"
- and I leave, driving away still like "WHAT THE F**K?!!"
Someone end my life for me and tell me what is going off, poweflow seem legit and know what theyre on with but I know for a fact you don't need to cut the well out as I can just buy the one off ktec. Only wanting to go to a dealer so I can get some warranty, choose my back boxes, sounds and tips etc.
But longlife hillbilly dudes defo killed someone man seems like theres no problem whatsoever and tells me not to worry about anything?
