I have one on the CRX.

Still looking for a second hand OEM one to come up for sale so I can get rid of the thing.

Took one off a mates CRX, it was quite a pony exhaust ..

Looked and sounded okay .. but the bends were just that, no mandrel stuff here.

Powerflow dealers are franchises i believe, so the exhaust you get will only be as good as the guy that makes it. i wouldn't touch one with a barge pole having seen some the examples they've supplied.

I have had a powerflow exhaust on my car (not an S) and read many mixed reviews on them.

Lower is right they're only as good as the garage that is supplying them, I replaced mine before it fell apart.

Top Gear top tip...........avoid!

I've have heard of some real horror stories about Power Flow exhausts.

I remember reading about a system installed on a mk2 MR2, which was basically put together by a bunch of apes. There were holes in the joins, big enough to stick your finger in. They didn't have enough piping to do the whole system, so instead of saying they couldn't do it right away, they they left this guy with such a mess, and massive loose in back pressure. He ripped it off when he got home, and put his old system back on.

I'll see if I can find the photos of their "workmanship".
