I tried Rimmer, and according to the part.com they only have the left hand side!? Good idea on trying BoB and Gammons.

I saw premier had some on their web site for the clearace deals, but rang them and all gone now!

Max - What did you ask for when building the system? in terms of noise etc....

Edit- Just rang rimmers, they only have the Left one in stock! :rolleyes::funny

I asked them to go and hear the examples of the zeros and x-powers on youtube and said I wanted something with a deeper note and not quite so loud as the x-power. I also said that I wanted a similar shape to x-powers (they do not do twin pipes) and no reverberation across the revs range and last of all was the classic V8 rumble and gurgle when deaccelarating.

You've seen and heard mine so that will give you an idea, and the best bit is that if it is not to your liking they will change or adjust . Used powerflows for sometime now in cars and never had any reason to doubt. They came up with the goods and I have got exactly what I want.

Don't forget that when they are fitted the tone/note will change slightly as the exhaust beds in.

Several people said at Cosford that they preferred the powerflows to the x-power sound - interesting?????

Not sure if they are in stock, but at least they're listed on the website.

Nope - xpart and zwarehouse hold different stock, the stuff from the xpart shop comes from Xpart in Desford, the zwarehouse stock is what they've got in stock at premier.

Jules pm'd me and we sorted out a deal :D - I had a new pair of back box's in the shed as i bought them just after i got the car (i thought there was a blow on the box) but there wasnt :Duh - so i gave him them and some money and was all good to go :)

Went to the local tyre place to get a bolt for his other boxes, and i asked if he could fit mine whilst i was there and he did, that was his beer money for the weekend ;) and saved me crawling all over the drive :thumb

Its allowed when you have a V8.

Coming back from climbing in wales last night a fiesta pulled into the car park with a 'phat' exhaust. I kid you not when I say it sounded like a bubble machine or something. It was the most odd high pitched popping noise ive ever heard coming from a car... just weird.

Little disappointed we were in a friends C1 and not my 260 :( :D ;)
