Wonder how many of these get scrapped with cars sadly,
Anyone who does sell one will likely know there worth. Not sure I would pay serious money for a secondhand exhaust.

Believe the xpower equivalent is just as sought after in ZR circles, as is there long obsolete springs for the ZR.

Do you know what sort of money they fetch second hand? I was thinking 120-150ish?

I fear more now as a result of this thread
Never seen one for sale in the outside world thing there might of been one on our classifieds a while back
As my 190 is on its 2nd genuine xpart box I would be reluctant to make the swap

Not sure where in London you are but might be worth checking out the place this was done for a custom made one?

Forget about Xpower exhaust, you've more chance finding Care Bears in a rainbow.
I'd always go with a custom build with a well known and recommended exhaust builder. Bear in mind the Xpower was originally a factory fit order so was not designed with a decat in mind so may not perform to its potential.

If you make a recording of the sound you want and as Pab suggests take it to a custom builder and tell him exactly what you want with regards to a decat/sports cat, any induction or filter changes and tell him how you want it to sound.
A good builder will be able to deliver exactly what you want.

This was my powerflow full S.S exhaust on my V6 which has a custom made de-cat.

It was just too noisy inside for me so I removed it and replaced with std one. As I sold the powerflow on to a member on here who says it not that noisy with a cat.

The xpower has not got the rasp. Chalk and cheese. All respect Simon but imo the xpower is more refined.
