Powerflow Swindon or Redditch?

[Max]

Hi All,

I'm looking at getting a custom exhaust built for my Type S and thinking about going to Powerflow, the nearest branches to me are Swindon and Redditch. I'm not after anything too fancy just a stainless steel cat back in either 2.25 or 2.5 inch diameter ideally with mandrel bends and an OEM+ looking twin tail pipe. Main reason for this is it doesn't seem too easy to get a nice 5th gen exhaust especially one for a Type S with JDM cat.

I believe Swindon is run out of Bell Steel Exhaust and Silencers, they're work looks pretty tasty

Whereas Redditch is run out of My Tyre Ltd which doesn't fill me with confidence

Has anyone used either of these places and if so whats your opinion?

Cheers
Max

I have a custom 3" exhaust made via performance autoworks. 3 straight through silencers and a decat pipe.
I actually find it to loud on full throttle but its quiet everywhere else, could be the supercharger and hytech header not helping.

I have just bought an invidia q300. No idea if it will fit the type s but we will see. That should arrive next month from the usa.
No where would reply for a custom exhaust to replace my 3" so I gave up.

No experience with powerflow but it depends on the individual welder at the end of the day.

Consider Infinity Exhausts, just outside Bristol.

I had a couple of smaller jobs done there and they were top notch.

I've never heard a good word about Bells.

If it were my money, I'd be paying Alan at Solid Fabrications a visit for a custom exhaust.

The Invidia looks sweet but about twice what i want to spend, I didn't know PAW did exhausts and I'm there on Monday so I'll probably make some enquiries

Solid fab is a bit out the way and probably over budget for me. Have to say the interwebs are not exactly brimming with reviews for Powerflow Swindon!

Infinity sounds like its worth a look and fairly close, i need a new flexi welded on my DC5 manifold too!

After 3 emails and 2 calls with voicemail messages Alan can bugger right off. Never replied. It's a shame as his work looks fabtastic. I wanted a 3" super silent. Unfortunately 3 other companies that come recommend highly never replied either. I gave up so I spent £550 on an invidia.

I've heard that they can be pricey, too.

Flexi replacement is one of the things I've had done there. Booked a time to go in, they did it there and then in about half an hour

Perfect ill definitely be visiting them for my flexi then
