No naming and shaming please.

Need a new cat back for my ZR, heard good things about them, and good price for a stainless section, built how I'd like it.

Anyone got good/bad things to say? smile

That's what I like to hear! Good quality? Been quoted £320 on the phone and for what they offer you can't complain! Look forward to getting it sorted. Though I do like the sound of my current slightly holey exhaust! hehe

They were who did the powerflow that was on my old ibiza, it was a few years old when I got it but it was in good nick.

Are the bits of exhaust that's holding the welds together giving up? wink

You ask for experiences, then ask for no naming and shaming and finally Ask if anyone has good/bad things to say? Err Ok smile

You get what you pay for, welds broke on two exhausts I had made there, never had a custom made system since and never had a problem since. wink

Made more sense in my head! I.e no berating and ranting, simply put if you would recommend or not wink

The Ibiza did sound nice! Needing it sorted out before MOT and might as well upgrade rather than buy a standard unit(again)

It's only an MG so at least it's not the most complicated thing in the world!

Agree with hollowpockets...have had 2 custom exhausts and had problems with both! Will never go that route again (although haven't used Turrif!)

Although the one I had was alright, I'd be inclined to agree that if you can find a decent enough stainless exhaust somewhere just go with that. No point in getting a custom part made if you can buy one already

I have had four stainless systems made by Turriff Tyres and all four sounded incredible especially the fourth one on my Mercedes ML320 V6,
Mk2 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.0 V6 (CAT back)
1999 Mercedes ML320 (Manifold back incl Powerflow CAT's)
Friends 3.8 Ford Mustang (CAT back and what a cracking deep burble)
And another two which my memory is failing to recall the makes frown

The fifth will be my currant vehicle a 2002 Mitsubishi Shogun Equippe 3.2 (soon)

Another service that I recommend TT for is the wheel refurbishment / repair

All in all I do recommend Julian / Turriff Tyres for custom / standard Exhausts and custom alloys also the refurbishment and repair of the alloys and Gavin for the Audio installation and advice which is in abundance whether it be for tyres, exhausts, wheels.

I took an Audi wheel up today for repair as the previous owner had clouted something solid on the inside of the rim, on investigation by the lads at TT the wheel was badly cracked on the outer rim, so bad that it was de-formed at the crack, so it pays to have professionals deal with these problems, and as the wheel was obviously scrap Julian offered to source a replacement s/h or new, service like this usually only comes in other countrys smile

PS my mate with the Mustang came all the way from deepest darkest Fife to get his Powerflow system done at TT (after getting quotes from companys down there)

I have had several too, I just had one done last week.
There might have been issues in the past but the guy that does the exhausts now is first class!

They fitted the extra silencers in the RS4, took less than an hour and had no issues over a year later.

Top work, albeit small stuff but a vote from me

Will be looking for someone to git a sports cat in the future to my straight through. Was considering going here.

They've fitted a system I bought in the past and had no issues with it. Never had custom work done though. Can't really think of any other options anyway!

I used Turriff for ordering and fitting some custom silencers to my Ultima a couple of weeks ago. It involved some cutting, welding and jigging and everything seemed really slick and professional. It was a really busy place. They supply Powerflow parts and I was interested that the price they charged me for doing the work was about 40% less than another Powerflow supplier/fitter in Glenrothes had given.

I contacted them for a quote on a back box for the Boxster, they replied asking for the reg number which I supplied and then nothing...........?

I used TT for a cat back stainless exhaust for my Subaru Forester about 2 years ago. Excellent service and no problems since, would definitely recommend them.
