That is an excellent price for stainless steel!

Had quotes of £400 plus for my old Mondeo on stainless... never bothered.

Last GM zorst lasted 6 years / 95 k miles. If i get the same i'll be happy  :)

I have had powerflow systems on various cars before and off the shelf systems from magnex and the like

I like the powerflow approach as the buyer can decided what finish, how noisy, how many tail pipes etc and all with a lifetime gurantee

Hi All, do you get trade club prices if you buy it fitted by Vauxhall, or only if you buy the parts?

The Bosal the Kwit Sh!t use are pretty poor. If they last 3 years I'd be amazed - the guarantee relies on you forgetting/not being bothered in claiming...

So stainless it is then ;)

well thanks guys if bosel are not worth sniffing at and gm way to pricey then well it looks like its cats and system with bypass pipes so have option to change from powerflow then.i have been down this road with my 150+bhp redtop calibra years ago and it was i admit the dogs balls and apart from me having a freeflow single box system then wasent very noisy and opened up loads of bhps and most importantly torque levels were right up.umm we probably booking in to powerflow on monday for the works for under £300.00.money talks and more so when its back in your own pocket and the performance side with lifetime guarentee helps too.cheers all will let you know and get some pics up of final job.will have to do rolling road to see results.

Me too, I am going for the powerflow option on my 99 2.5v6, after searching far and wide Powerflow seem to have all the boxes ticked. Does anyone know if they can provide an irmscher "double d" type tail pipe ??

I think you can cut the cost down by having 1 single pipe instead of the twin centre pieces. Not sure if this will affect performance though :-? I have a picture of the single on a Omega but dont know how to attach it to show you
