Very nice. Presumably a custom made one - not by Longlife by any chance? I'm considering one of theirs for my V70; I believe that they're very good.

Hi Sarge,

It's a Powerflow system, done by Sargents in Yeovil Somerset. 2.5" from cat back into 2.5"Y piece then splits into 2 x 2.25" with 2 x 4.5"x3.5" tailpipes,

Paul, I'll have a go next time it's on a ramp

Thanks

Hedley

Thanks for that, Hedley. I don't see me getting as far as Somerset though to have mine done, even if the company do share my surname!

Hi Sarge,

There should be a powerflowdealer near you, Don't jump straight in tho' do a bit of research first. There are 2 near me and 1 is not as good as the other, It's all down to the bod doing the welding!

Nice looking set of pipes there! What do they sound like?

Are you at the C.B. on Sunday?

I have heard good things about Powerflow, but unfortunately their local branch mucked me about for 2 months, so I went to Longlife.
I heartily recommend them.
Knowledgable guys, great workmanship and high grade stainless throughout.
The customer service is great too. I went back unannounced to get the position of the tailpipe adjusted and they did it on the spot.

Great stuff. I went to the Falfield (South Gloucestershire) branch.

Later,
Dan.

I'm 99% sure it will not. I think it's because the AWD has a different shape fuel tank to FWD, so the pipes will not fit in the allocated space. Lots of people told me I couldn't fit dual to a S70!! It's a shame you are not going on Sunday to see it.

All I can say is try it, but £300 is quite a lot for an experiment. My system cost £376 inc Vat & fitting plus it has a lifetime guarantee.
