Removing cat from E90 320D ?

[Rolf]

... oh please agree... and lets not be wrong :ty:

DPF is not CAT agreed?

 

[dvst8]

Without jumping at PowerFlow.....
I spoke to the guys here in Woodstock and the blandly refuse to do a downpipe as I requested it... too much work

The hollow out the DPF and put it back and call that DPF removal and downpipe --> R1800

No effings ways.... thats layman's work to me; I'm sorry but I do not accept such workmanship.
I spend tricillion years on a dyno doing development work to find a kw or two and then it gets wiped by a supplier too lazy to do what he is told to do?

tzsztszstzszs

The price from Xflow is for a complete downpipe. No hollow out DPF's or CATS etc. A full downpipe built by them.

:rollsmile:

the point being you said e90 diesels do not have a cat, when in fact it does.. its shares a housing with the dpf.. agreed?

 

[Rolf]

I love the sharing part and thus agree :thumbs:

 

[netercol]

lol.. agreed

I got a decat and complete downpipe (63mm) for R1800 from Powerflow, no hollowing out of nothing! They built me a proper downpipe and it took the whole day and the job they did was very good and the welding was perfect! xFlow was going to do the exact same job for R3500.00 as they told me the labour involved was hectic! Powerflow just didnt rip me off as much as xflow with labour :thumbs:

Powerflow also took me and my GF and my buddy for a drive to the nearest shopping centre so that we could go get some breakfast and catch a movie and then they fetched us afterwards. Very nice people. :thumbs:

And the gains were definately there, on the dyno and you can definately feel it!

Thats really good service from them! I wonder if the Cape Town powerflow will have a similar price...? Think i need to go speak to one.

Not shooting down POWERFLOW EDENVALE , but one has to look at they dont have the equipment to reset sensors etc.

XFLOW has this equipment !

I always make the statement , cheapier is not better.

One has to do lots of homework before taking ones car to any modding shop.

The only reason i recommend XFLOW is cause of personal experience there with all my cars , they are professional in what they do, they have the diagnostic tools to identify other possible faults or fix faults in a car.

PS: Downpipe is not a straight 63mm pipe. It has to be specific thickness of metal with mandrel bends. Downpipe starts from a 70-76mm tapering into 63mm , this aids with spool.

XFLOW builds custom downpipes based on proven design, not the designs that they thumbsuck.

I know this sounds a bit harsh but i know both the places very well and the owners of these shops hence my words.

X-Flow FTW...

Forget about my car and its DP. They did an excellent job, i can guarentee it cos i was there the entire time while building up and fitting my DP...

Take my bru in laws E46 M3... With ONLY the exhaust, the car showed an 11wkw increase in power. Just the exhaust... They had the car for over a week, initial Dyno, then build and fit exhaust, dyno again. X-Flow was not happy, rip the exhaust off, build another and fit. Dyno again... They did this until they where satisfied. Then load Xcede, 9wkw increase, same principle was used. They used about 2 tanks of petrol to get this car up top. Guys with same + more mods could not get this amount of increase.

Personally, i would rather pay the extra and go to someone who actually knows what they doing.

The M3, till today has never given a days problem. The exhaust is perfect, melodious and cruising at 120km, it sounds stock. Floor it and all hell breaks loose...

Want more proof?

Awesome. Glad you happy with what you got. Thats what matters most at the end.

I hope you dont end up with blinking lights like Ambi did. :nonono:

50wkw increase with software and exhaust... :biglol::biglol:

:fishwack:

Thats engine power increase!

Look it sounds like we are having a bit of an exhaust fitment centre war here, The reason I went to powerflow was because I was recomended by allot of guys and my buddy who has taken lots of cars there!

I am not saying they don't know what they are doing, but when I walk into a place and I first need to stand and wait for these guys to stop there long conversation with each other and take notice of the client standing there, and then get laughed at when I ask for a quote and get cocky answers about everything, I then walk out and find somewhere else to get my shit done!

When I went to powerflow I got treated like gold! I had no sensor issues or flickering lights lol...I went to the dyno the next day as I felt a massive improvement and when I got the results I was more than happy and the car has only gotten better with time, so they must have done something right.

No wars guy , as long as you happy with the service you receive is what counts.

My input here was to help fanatics out , they can make their own decisions based on your experience vs mine vs others.

[Arbee]

No Wars... Anyone can do a good job... Its up to the owner to decide.

But just remember, X-Flow is the best and that is MY OWN OPINION :rollsmile:
