you'll pay alot more taking it to them and getting them to put the back box on.

Off the shelf i'd say, unless you want pipes on each side etc. Off the shelf usually fit so much better than custom ones

i disagree. it depends who is doing the fitting on these "custom" ones.....

Off the shelf ones are guys that have made one previously so think about that....

IMO take it to a powerflow dealer that has good feedback and you wont be disappointed

lifetime gaurantee on everything man!!!
powerflow are a excellent company! you decide how it looks and sounds and they make it exactly like that and if your not happy they will change it!
only thing that lets them down is certain branches are sh1t!!

in terms of fitment/quality, again it depends which branch you take it too!
i know for fact that St Albans is one of the best branches, few of my mates had their exhausts done their

my center silencer is fooked on my Full Scorpion grp A system, im gonna take it to them for a new custom silencer

What about a Sebring Twin 90mm round with a powerflow center section? think it would look ok with the GT-C rear bumper i got.

Would powerflow be any more noisey

A mendral bend is where when the exhaust is bent it stays exactly the same diameter across the bend than it is on the straight so as to not decrease exhaust gas flow.

yup, the dies that we use cannot provide an exact straightness all the wy thru the bend althoug its pretty dam close...

Its all depends on your dealer... Up in the highlands there is onlu me that does it and we a snowed under... i get at least 2 a day for exhausts.... if your reputation is good then it means your company is doing summin right.....

Like broster says... mandrel bending is the way.... With powerflow yopur getting a warrenty for life... any complains you just go back to your local dealer... none of this CAR OFF THE RAOD stuff. IF summin goes wrong... we fix it.
