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?  :-/

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

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

You must be joking.. ;D

exhaust parts will hit even the smallest things on the road , let alone the comfort.. :-/
