Decided to get a twin outlet Powerflow exhaust fitted. It's going in next Thursday. Decided on Oval tailpipes and a 2 silencer system.
I know there are some people here that have had Powerflow exhausts fitted. My question is how many silencers did they have fitted? I want something louder than the standard which has no noise at all, but nothing too OTT. Are 2 silencers the right way to go?
Thanks - Simon.

Thanked 129 Times in 90 PostsI was in a Powerflow fitters yeaterday getting my tyre changed.
They were fitting a twin oval to a Golf while I was there and were using 2 silencers that were little larger than a large can of beans (but about twice as long).
Tell them what you want. I am sure they fit it custom anyway, not off the shelf.

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsThey have recommended the twin silencers, but I am slightly concerned it might be a bit too quiet?

VT did mine with 2 and it was still relatively loud and beefy but not to the extent of becoming irritating over long distances.'96 855 T5 auto ...GT30 and everything uprated!

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsYes they make the additional cut out for you. You lose the towing eye point on the right hand side though. No big deal I guess. I'll post some pics next week once it has been fitted.
