I think that if you use nitro / additives in
fuel, then use sports exhs.

1) Which brand of exhaust and to which car.
Currently have a powerflow (soon to be a Greddy Evo 2) on my Civic (EJ6).

2) Full, decat, sport cat or cat back system.
Cat back atm, decat planned.

3) How do you rate the power increase?
Throttle repsonse is better and power increase is noticable but not massive.

4) How do you rate the sound?
Lovely

5) Best & worst thing about the exhaust?
The way powerflow makes exhausts means the pipe diameter is not constant and can cause restrictions. Soon to be rectified with the new system. I got the system due to my old exhaust blowing. I hadn't decided which system to get so I opted for a stainless steel with a lifetime guerantee. The price was £300.

6) Would you recommend this exhaust/car combination to others?
No. As a quick fix and possibly a rookie mistake it's not too bad, but you can pick up much better systems second hand for around the same price.

pretty much the same as prince
powerflow from the flexi back ( old enough not to need the cat)
didnt mind it too much but was happy for the 4 months or so it was on the car
