    that's what i thought to Andrew. Also think Martin said they were powerflows, but I could be wrong!!

    Default Exhausts...

    Hi. Cobra sport performance exhausts of Sheffield have recently quoted me "For the Rear box sections with a choice of tailpipes and sounds would be £375 fully fitted". They go under the name Exhaustsuk Ltd.
    I have also recieved a quote from Zero for quads "The boxes are £415 for the set and the shipping to UK mainland is £15. This is a members price".
    Zero also do Xpower copies with oval tail pipes, i hav'nt enquired about these yet but after seeing and hearing V8NDV,s XPOWERS it may well be this route for me soon...

    Perhaps I need to re-evaluate the X Powers with the famous sleeves.

    Yup had mine fitted for almost 2 years now! Powerflows are all custom made so they will never really sound the same! And now I am not unique with my tail pipes so maybe time for a change? They do suit the 260 though so good choice

    I had mine done by the Powerflow specialist here in Crewe but going to go down to a place in the Midlands that was posted in another thread on here and see what they can do! been thinking of the twin pipes down the car again...

    I only have experience of the standard exhaust and the X-Powers I now have fitted,

    But there is something about them, not subtle at all but somehow not silly loud either.

    My Aussie Friend was introduced to the ZT yesterday for the first time in the garage.

    I said to him, he is probably missing a V8 sound, so fired up 'Enola' in the garage blipped the throttle to hear the pop and crackle etc.

    He just stood in amazement and said, 'Thats old school mate!'

    Think he liked it

    I've been to exhaustsuk a few times, and all the cars that ive seen and heard look and sound far better than any powerflow'd car that i have ever had.
