I thought abe was down and out?!
The sprout had a powerflow on it when I bought it and I changed to a longlife one a few months later (essentially still Powerflow) - was always too loud and raspy for my liking. Good that you can choose the noise levels and tip designs etc, but wasn't customisable enough for my liking and workmanship varies from branch to branch due to it being a franchise.

Had a Powerflow manifold back(with decat and 1 middle box) on my old XE Corsa and it sounded awesome.Was a 2.25" bore and wasnt overly loud,just had that distinctive XE twang.

powerflow are a franchise so opinions are worthless IMO unless it's on the quality of material.
I've had loads from my guy but hes been doing them 11 years and is extremely good at welding.

My spoon copy is powerflow, it's not bad quality at all really, guess the franchise it was made at was fairly decent
