I will not be having another powerflow. That was truly a shocking exhaust system.... rattled like a can of spray paint!

I think I might buy the material myself and get someone to weld it all up.

Mike Stokes does quite a few Powerflow systems, not heard complaints before. They are familiar with the E30 as well, do exhausts for PBMW championship.

Now that name is a blast from the past

As for Powerflow, I depends if they use Powerflow boxes and who does the work. A lot of top gear franchises used to use Powerflow but now they use long life which are crap

My past systems from top gear using Powerflow boxes were spot on. I'm currently liking chip foose's prefered choice which I'd magnaflow

They only done the back box on the two tone. The rest was my own handy work. Lasted a few more years than I expected mind.

Janspeed are as Simon says, alive and well. I type this from my Janspeed computer. :)

Come and have a look around, I can guarentee you won't be going elsewhere afterwards. If you are after a £150 exhaust, it probably isn't the place to come in the first place though.

Tenner in the post Simon. :D :D
