Powerflow valvetronic sports exhaust

[R26Andy]

I've never heard anyone mention this exhaust before so I thought a few people might be interested in my latest purchase.

It's very reasonably priced, undercutting the all equivalents and despite this, I have to say, I'm impressed by the quality of the product and the customer service from the supplier. Not fitted as yet...



It has the remote control but I have a dash button on order which i will connect up to retain the oem feel. Will post back with a video once fitted.

Who is the supplier?...Ive looked on the Powerflow website and cant see any mention of it?

Keep us updated!

[alextopgear]

Andy- thanks for the feedback, really looking forward to the video!

Supplier is Top Gear in Bridport, Dorset. I can't post links here as I don't want to breach the forum rules, but we have the system listed primarily on EBay. We've had really good feedback on these valved silencers thus far. I won't clutter the thread again but anyone is welcome to PM me if interested.

Is it filled with helium?

Its long overdue that a manufacturer brought a replacement PSE to the market as there must be literally thousands of 996s out there with corroded and split mufflers. I have had to replace them on both my models in the past and the genuine price is eye watering.

They are not listed for the 996 GT3 but I am pretty certain all of the muffler pipe dimensions and mountings are exactly the same.

It would be great if the manufacturer could confirm this? This is likely to extend the target market even further?

[R26Andy]

I was a little worried about going non oem but the results are fantastic.

I've also wired in the oem dash button to keep the original look. Happy to help anyone out with the wiring diagrams etc, it's reasonably easy to do.

Made me laugh.

Dare I ask an overall cost on this good sir?

Quite a long 1st gear on a 996 Tip. Sounds good.

[R26Andy]

It was around £900 DIY install, that's everything, exhaust, clamps, dash button, relay and wiring.

The most difficult part of the job was removing the corroded bolts so I could re-use the old exhaust mounting brackets.

Thanks for posting this up. When mine need replacing I now know what they will be replaced with.

Spot on. I suspect this is the main catalyst for the fact that these 996 valved silencers have quite recently (and suddenly) become one of our flagship products. They should also fit the GT3, going to confirm later today.

Edit: Thanks for the offer Pugley, but can confirm these also fit GT3.

Ooh that is rather tempting I must say

Does that mean it fits the turbo as well?

Definitely not.

Turbo has completely different plumbing.

I asked topgear 3 times through ebay to confirm diameter and length of pipes to confirm if they`d fit my GT3. each time I was promised someone would get back to me but it never materialised.

I gave up in the end and went back to Cargraphic at huge cost.

That is a shame, when did this take place? I'm quite new to the company (joined April) but thats not the standard of customer care i'm striving for.

As the man said unfortunately.

Hi Andy sorry about the low post count but I've had to re register again for some reason.(cant even send you a pm)
Anyway I have just ordered one of these sets from Alex at topgear but I would like to do the oem look install with switch instead of the keyfob.
Any chance you can help out with any wiring diagrams you may have or might have made in your process.

Thanks in Advance

Hi Andyr26,

It would great of you could share the wiring for the dash switch for the 996 and powerflow exhausts.
