Ive made my booking and its quite a reasonable price. £150 for CAT back (with my current backbox) and additional £50/60 for turbo to CAT pipe. Il let you all know how it goes!
Make sure you check the exhaust after they've been at it. This was poerflows idea of bending an exhaust around a rear beam on somone i know's Celica....

Hardly eficeint airflow IMO. But then again, the quality of Powerflow tends to change alot between different fitters.

do let us know and dont leave out any of the problems they face when the realise the downpipe from the turbo to the rest of the exhaust system and the cat are one piece and therefore will never sell you it for that unless the use your original cat (which would be pointless)
Top Gear (powerflow) St Albans are quite good, they did my Saxo 
Then again there is some difference between a French 1.4 and a Spanish 1.8 lol

if your referring to all top gears id have to disagree with that statement, topgear in basingstoke did mine, the quality was shocking. i had to go back 3 times to get it fixed. and it rusted really badly.
had mine done at powerflow in stafford on my old car, had it on 4 years with no problems. hes since changed the name to custome exhauist is in set up on his own now, he makes his on silencers too which i was quite impressed about. crackng bloke and good service. i've got his number if any one wants it.
I thought S/S didn't rust, and have a lifetime guarantee AGAINST rusting? This is what I had on my saxo? Same with the Milltek I have? (I believe)
It's a low grade of stainless steel they use which can still rust and the internals aren't stainless anyway so they can still rust out
a number of powerflow systems iv seen have been stainless steel silencers and mild steel pipe work
mines stainless throughout, been under the car and checked it myself.....i payed £220 ish for it.
Have you done the magnet test?
Higher quality stainless steel, which has less chance of rusting, is non-magnetic. I think you'll find Powerflow systems are magnetic, whereas Longlife systems are not. Although, I think my Longlife system was a bit on the pricey side.
The following is taken from here
"A basic stainless steel has a 'ferritic' structure and is magnetic. These are formed from the addition of chromium and can be hardened through the addition of carbon (making them 'martensitic') and are often used in cutlery. However, the most common stainless steels are 'austenitic' - these have a higher chromium content and nickel is also added. It is the nickel which modifies the physical structure of the steel and makes it non-magnetic."
no i havnt actually, interesting point though.......but then again, if it rusts, ill take it back and get a new one.
