There is an Arab kid that lives near me and has a new 6 series in white. When he drives you can hear the crackle as he changes through the gears of his 640i/640d twin turbo not sure which he has.

I spoke to him and he says he has powerflow exhaust with different back box and centre pipes.

Has anyone had any experience with powerflow ?

His exhausts are the nicest I haver ever heard and sound like a super car and have F1 kind of sound to it.

They are custom made and are hit and miss depending you makes them for you. Most ones I've seen look do not look very well made or good. That 6 series sounds very council.

You need to hear it sounds like a f1 car though not quite as loud but sounds mega all the same
At first I thought was OEM exhaust but them I thought I have never heard a new 6 series sound like that!!!!

I take it the genuine bmw exhaust are quiet ? How much are they for the whole thing ? What about centre pips and back box ?

That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me :D

Guess you need the exhaust to sound like an f1 car next time you go spinning off the road giving drivers the finger like Michael Schhoooooomacher, innit

Not quite as stupid as ruining a nice sport

Everyone makes mistakes some aren't afraid to admit it

Others just enjoy trolling people

I wouldn't call your sport nice from what I've heard, but yes, drifting it is one way to ruin it :D

Almost as much as you hurt mine by suggesting I have ruined a sport. Who gives a shit, it would still be a sub 10k 80's mass produced saloon with some plastic bits tacked on, hardly a mistake, nor something I wouldn't do all over again.

I'll make sure it's a low mileage CSL next time :D
