I have the TTE which is a dealer fit option, costs between 450-500 depending upon how much discount you can get.  Not too loud.

My preference would be a H&S which costs about the same as the TTE but you can choose the style of the tips and the tips will be aligned better.  Sounds lovely but apparently can be a bit loud on the motorway.

I am going for the Longlife exhaust probably...they quoted me £499 for twin twins...but only £439 for just twins.

H&S was my next choice...but they are quite away from where i live.

I have just had a twin exhaust fitted with 3" rolled in tips from Powerflow for £250 not sure if it's any good at performance enhancing but I think it looks good and the sound is good. Not too loud but with a burble. Stainless steel with a lifetime guarantee

Ferret where are powerflow based? do they have a website? £250 is a good price and if the exhaust is not to loud it sounds just what I am looking for.
cheers

£250 is a darned good price, maybe worth a GB?

  s:shock: :shock: s:shock:   I phoned my local powerflow outfit yesterday and they quoted my 350 - 400 to do that   s:shock: :shock: s:shock:  

Good deal on that, do you know what type of stainless steel they used and do you have any pics of the box, if not is it SS and the same size as standard?

Cheers

I got mine from Performance cars of Plymouth  m http://www.per4mancecars.co.uk/mall/dep ... lymouthLtd (http://www.per4mancecars.co.uk/mall/departmentpage.cfm?store=PerformanceCarsofPlymouthLtd) m .
I was told £300 plus vat but haggled it down to £250 + vat but when I went to pay they forgot to add the vat and I didn't notice at the time  s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

Yep stainless steel, don't know the quality but it was a standard box they had on the shelf they just made up the piepes and tip accordingly. All been braced well. Lifetime guarantee for as long as I own the car, require an inspection every 12 months. Not sure if you can make out whats what in the photos but here goes.

One of the welds on the powerflow looks a bit sloppy.
