Powerflow exhaust will it sound stupid!

[S60-UUB]

Well wasn't expecting that this morning.

Ordered a replacement exhaust for the S60 2.0T on friday from a breakers, what I thought I would be getting is an OEM replacement turned out to be a SS powerflow system with a tip you could fire grapefruits out of...!

Is this a result or am I going to be fart down the road like a 17yr old chav in a corsa?

Any one had one fitted for a 2.0T?

[sartain87]

Its a result, it shouldn't be too loud with silencers or cat in place still.

Will give it a nice quiet rumble at a guess. Only one way to find out ;)

[sartain87]

Oh and buy some autosol and give it a good clean ha ha

[S60-UUB]

Its from the cat back and the centre pipe has an extra box which I assume is a silencer.

So it might be ok then its just the size of the tail pipe made me wince a bit!

Going to give it a good clean over the weekend and get my mechanic to fit it next week.

Think if its ok sound wise I might see if powerflow can fit a slightly smaller tail pipe though.

[stephenevans99]

Don't worry about the size - it'll look fine once it's fitted. Like suggested though, just get some Autosol on there & it'll look like new. Result

[danny-R]

should sound nice and fruity but not too lout if it still has a cat and silencer

[S60-UUB]

Sounding more and more like a result then thanks chaps.

Could turn out to be the best 85quid spent then.

[volvokid]

Id say its a result, it depends what the guy asked powerflow to do when he ordered it, it might be quite it might be load as hell. They do supply different tail pipes, go onto there site and you can see them all. That will clean up like new with some S/S polish.

[S60-UUB]

Funny you should say that I just called my local powerflow dealer and they said I can have a smaller more standard looking tail pipe fitted for £60.

[danny-R]

Another vote for autosol here. And plenty of elbow grease before it's fitted would be easier than doing it on the car

[S60-UUB]

Going to pick some Autosol up as I think I only brasso in the garage.

Might get some high temp paint and all while i'm at it.

[M-R-P]

Brasso will work mate, I use the brasso wool on mine :D

[S60-UUB]

Awesome.

Going to give it a good soaking with some Surfex APC to start off.

[T5frankie]

with two boxes and a cat it will be really quiet mine was one box and was not too loud until i removed the cat

[jotter22]

Oi corsa boy get it cleaned up and fitted then you can post a sound clip :smile:

Tony.

[S60-UUB]

haha. Will do Jotter22, its getting fitted on Tues.

Now all I might need is some smoked windows to go with the gunmetal alloys for the full drug dealer pimp look.

[stevmo]

well if you dont like it I'll have it off you for my 2.0T - I'm young and can get away with such thing ;)

[S60-UUB]

I'll bare that in mind Stevmo.

But I aint that old yet and it might adhere to the boy racer inside me.

[Harvey]

My guess it will sound nice at tick over,and will only get noisy when you get above 4-5k revs ,that's what my exhaust is like.
As you say nice surprise to receive it.

[iancho]

I've got a twin Powerflow system on mine and it sounds sweet, it will be fine mate :smile:

I only go down there for a sniff when i think nobody is looking :rolleyes:

[S60-UUB]

They look a lot better than the dustbin lid tail pipe thats on mine 4".

Think i will fir sure get a different tip fitted when i can. Cleaned it up yesterday and theres a big dent in the top of the tail pipe anyway.

[S60-UUB]

Well judgement day has arrived dropping the car off at 9am so should be booming by lunchtime.

Good luck!... You will love the sound afterwards lol.... Keep us all informed! :B_thumb:

[stevmo]

I hope you enjoy it (although a part of me hopes you don't so I can get it :P)

[Harvey]

Any news yet ?.

[danny-R]

Video please :rice:

[S60-UUB]

Sat eating a greggs pasty uploading vid and pic as we speak.

Happy chappy though sorry Stevmo :( still a bit unsure about the size of the tip but it does look better on the car.

Going to give it a week or so to see if it grows on me but will probably get a slightly smaller one fitted at pay day.

[jotter22]

Any news yet ?.

Lol your like an expectant father!

Tony.

[Harvey]

Tony.

Oh no cars are a lot cheaper.

[S60-UUB]

Playing one of the vids back on my phone there seems to be a bit of build up of back pressure not sure what's causing this?

[S60-UUB]

52% complete. Good this is like watching paint dry plus photobucket adverts are that annoying ive unplugged the speakers.

Back pressure on your phone?

[S60-UUB]

Back pressure on your phone?

I know! bloody stupid Iphone.

[jotter22]

Lol decat for iphone app?

[S60-UUB]

Right then where up.

First of all the swiss cheese old back box. Its was split at the baffle so much you could see inside it and the tail pipe about to fall off.

On the car it doesn't look too bad. Might change it for a slightly more standard size when I have the cash.
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k308/trialsking84/IMG_1992_zpsf2af53d7.jpg

On tick over its not louder than standard really.

Quite a nice sound when clearing ones throat. Up the top end of revs it farts a bit.

So it's a keeper folks.

Thanks for the support and I never doubted you opinions.

[HowHard]

sounds bootiful :)

[jotter22]

I think you should leave it as is mate looks ok to me :D

Tony.

[danny-R]

Definitely an improvement imo.

[S60-UUB]

Thanks guys.

I do keep looking at it out the office window.

[iancho]

Nice mod mate... it looks nice as it is :B_thumb:

[stephenevans99]

Sounds great !! Good result.

[graemewelch]

dont think it has straight through silencers. would of been slightly louder

[Harvey]

Just find a nice tunnel windows down pull away 2k revs up to 5.5k will = a nice big smile :yikes:

Under load will sound better as well.

[stevmo]

damn you for liking it :P

[S60-UUB]

Yes it is getting rather infectious although it's costing me a fortune in petrol as I keep driving round in 3rd gear.

[Scvolvo]

Looks good prefer single exit pipe
