Gonna ring powerflow tomoz and c what they can do 4 my 1.2 8 valve
thing is, its not staying a 1.2 8 valve forever, mid nex year it may become a 1.6 or 2.0.
wot i need to know is; if i got a full system while i still hav the 1.2 engine n then got say a 1.6, wud i stil b able to keep the exhaust system or wud i have to get a new one? is it as simple as 'sum parts wud have to b changed, where as sum wont'?

when fitting say a 1.6 or 2litre you just weld the exhaust downpipes from new engine to your existing system so you should be ok and not have to change it again

I have to agree with the other guy - some of their wrk is SHOCKING  but ive had mine a while now and the build quaility is amazing i cant fault it @ all. A lot of wrk and a lot of money but if you want a totally one-off zorst that'll last 4eva give them a go!!

Dont bother with powerflow matey, give ascar a call in sheffield or visit www.exhaustsuk.com, they the real men when it comes to custom exhausts had a full ss system with 4.5" rolled pipe and it looks and sounds the bollocks mate. Give em a call.

Noticed your from Grimsby mate, I would recommend the trip to Scunthorpe to Rebel Powerpipes/Powerflow, I've had 2 systems from them and both have been spot on in terms of quality, looks and sound. Service is very good too. Not a bad thing to say about em.
