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.

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

[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

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
