What company can i find who will make a centre section for my car, i rang powerflow and they wanted to put a small box in the centre section and wanted £160 for the favour.
I'm sure you can just get a company to bend a pipe and make it fit?
Kwik Fit places wouldn't do it would they?

Not heard this argument before.
It all depends where you go and how gullable you are.
I paid £75 to have my whole centre section redone (without box). They wanted £110 so i just laughed at them and told them where to stick it and give me a proper price!
£75 is a bit of a drop form £110 dont u think Cheeky con-merchants

Yup address as above.
They are like powerflow yes, but use better grafde stainless and charge a wee bit more for it! Well worth it tho, ask trotty he has an SXi with a longlife zorst with straight thru centre. Really grumbly note sounds great!
