any difference in bhp gains when fitting into a ZS180 Saloon?



Cheers

The name on the side.......

Its a 2.5" pipe with brackets either end to fit it to the rest of the exhaust, any exhaust place will knock one up in 20 mins.

I don't believe powerflow do exhaust above 2.5" but I might be talking poop, if you can upgrade the the whole 180 system to 2.5" bore, helps it breath a lot better

Danny have done a blueflame duplex cat-back exhaust system, think it is 2.5 already, and just need a 2.5 cat pipe now?

Powerflow can do 3" tubing as a friend has a Powerflow franchise! I believe he can even get 4" aswell!

He can get pre formed 4" bends etc and uses them for induction kits!

Powerflow do a 3" bore. I am going to have a custom powerflow exhaust made up at some point but isnt a 2.5" bore and above going to be too freeflowing, ie too little backpressure?

Ah must have just been my local one then, I tried to have a center section made up for my ZR and said they could only do it in 2.25". Few years back mind.

I rate Powerflow, had a slight knock underneath, from my cat back derv ss exhaust ?250. On its first yearly check for the lifetime guarantee, the guy stripped it all down and rebuilt it. Pushed the tail pipe out an extra inch as well.

As some one said, only as good as the guy bending and welding.

My Coupe Turbo one started blowing so I popped in to see my local franchise to say about it and they fixed it for me there and then.

Anyone with and grinder and welder could knock one up in 20 mins. Really dont see how they can charge ?150ish for them!!! I got a custom one made for my 120 from janspeed as I lived 5 mins from their HQ cost hardly anything!
