Have a look and see if your exhaust is high enough. not that you do all that work just to find your polishing your exhaust on the asphalt. :y

I've only ever heard good things of powerflow......and aren't they meant to have a lifetime guarantee? So if it had fell off, they'll fix it back for free?  :-/

Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!

You achieve "pimp" status when your car is so low that you can't even get it on the rollers  ;)

mine is lowered 40mm and i have ground the bottom on the exhaust off at the joint flanges
speed bumps are a problem at any speed  i would say your not going to have fun

they are a franchise, and any monkey with a welder can be part of it, you have to have it serviced via them (the exhaust) and checked yearly and you cannot pass it onto another owner,

i have decided to go to 60mm now after some measurements on sat! exhaust might be adjusted to suit atm with a whole new one inc cat
