check for rubbish welds and the quality of the steel, they dont use high grade steel like magnex ect so its prone to surface rust.

i've heard diff stories bout powerflow. i think its actually who that makes it that depends on how good it is. i've seen sum folk that have had probs and shit welds, but also folk that have perfect exhausts. think its really upto the guy thats fittin it at the end of the day.. if he feels like doin it quick then it 'll end up shite, but if he feels like doin a really good job and spendin time on it then u'll end up with a quality system.

powerflow fit it m8!

U dont buy a ready made exhaust u go along and tell them what u want (sound/tailpipe etc...) and they MAKE it for u. Hence the cost and varing quality depending on who does it.

I would say they are generally bad.

Crap MIG welds, crap quality of steel and they pressure bend them!

But as they are a franchise it does depend on the individuals as said.

i would not buy one second hand due to the quality issue.
I doubt the lifetime warrenty they come with (and OFTEN need!) is transferrable to u meaning it may not last u long.
Also i wud not be sure that a corsa B exhaust will fit a Corsa C, i doubt they are the same???
