Default Custom Exhaust fabricators near Slough but not powerflow

Basically i need a de-cat pipe made up. I had one done by powerflow but it literally sits on the subframe and knocks and is blowing well bad. So imnot really happy, they said they cant doit any better cause of my four branch mainifold. I think there just shite really so i wanna take it to somewhere else to have it properly sorted. Any recommendations i dont mind a drive but i dont wanna go half way across country.

need this sorted soonish as its the only thing stopping me booking my car back in to msd now.

Powerflow is a franchise, so its just the local branch that must be shite.....

Got a mate just taken on powerflow work near us, and he is VERY good at what he does

Mate, when you see what they can do, you won't want to go anywhere else.

Just got back from there and im well impressed. There workshop was proper mint and they had some proper motors there. THey had a 306 with the wide arch kit, rwd, xe lump and the exhaust was coming through the body of the car!

Anyways they basically laughed at my current setup which is a full magnex system with 4 inch box, trust electrical fourbranch and heat wrap. Apparently my mainfold isnt equal length so more power could be gained from proper one, heat wrap is not worth it apperntly and my magenx system is shite as its not built for performance and my back box is to big aswell . Originally i jsut wanted them to fix my blowing and knocking de-cat but now theyve got me thinking of buying a full system off them including proper equal length manifold. Im lookin at around 825 for it but would need to sell my sytem first at a good price to afford it.

they are expensive but if you saw there workshop and the kinda motors there working on then you'd understand why. I had a good chat with them and they seemed to really know there stuff and the work of theres i saw was proper quality

Thumbs up MAGNAFLOW in slough

Hi guys, Try Profusion Customs they are in colnbrook, slough near the new T5 heathrow.
I had my exhaust done from them the results were shoking, I could feel the power gains. It had the deep sound I was lookig for.

It was done in full stainless 304 grade not 409 cheap shit that powerflow use.
I wish i never got a powerflow done first time round allways had probs. The guys at profusion customs was shocked at the crap job the hayes powerflow done.

Deff worth the money, I will recommend every one, they have got some phat cars there also.

Just went on their website and right clicked it, as I wished to book mark it for later and it threw up a message saying 'copyright theft is against the law' and that my IP was logged
I never knew that bookmarking a website was against the law or infringed copyright theft.
Hate idiotic websites like that, technically speaking they should sue everyone who visits their website as the temporary internet cache will do local storage of the website, bitching on about copyright when the sites not even finished.
Anyway I tried to send them a mail telling them this fact, and informing them that suggesting I am a thief with no evidence is defamation of character and is against the law with an invite to sue me, but the email form does not work

great way to impress people

Hi I just looked at there web site wow its amazing, I just go off the phone to them informing them of what you said, He replied by saying. “We know the site is still under development, that’s why we have a massive notice informing visitors"" we have just invested half-a-million pound on this freehold unit and that our first priority is to have a fit place to service our customers"

Please note this site is currently under development therefore some links may not work, please accept our apologies and try again later.

So I think you have a problem with you eyesight. No offence.

Couldnt agree more! I have been so happy with the work they did on my car I have no problem recommending them and Matt and the guys are so friendly! I got my car's system done there in 2006 (days before FITP) and was MORE than happy with the results and regularly bump into them at shows & always stop for a chat
