@gheorghinacov6008 unfortunately I wouldn't know as sold the car some years ago.

@@jamesswan9289 Thank you anyway! Until you sold it was the steering as stable as when just installed them?

@gheorghinacov6008 yes it was very good and positive. Had it about another 18000 miles after install and no issues in that time

@@jamesswan9289 Thank you for your answers! This should give others confidence to go for Powerflex

@Hazar69 yes that's correct. So easy to do that one 👍

Hi. It only has one cat from factory. It was replaced with a sports cat. There is no center resonator or midbox on the exhaust

@@jamesswan9289 oh, my Clubman has a cat on the downpipe and a small one before the resonator. Right now I have a catless downpipe but I want to get some pops and burbles too.

Hi. It had the cat still on. Straight through exhaust with one box on the back. To be honest I miss this car. Was a beautiful car to drive

Okey :) And the rear box was not the original if i can guess. Sadly mine is rebuilded to an tractor which means it can only go 30 kmh. Don't ask i live in sweden and it is hella normal when you're 15 to buy a car and rebuild it hahah. Anyways i have a little button which makes it goes faster haha

Hi. Is the downpipe that is the sorts cat. Cobra was the brand.

I can't remember exactly but it was about 195bhp 470 torques

@@jamesswan9289 you doubled the stock torque with just a remap? And all of the stock internals held up?

@@Melonsareprettyyummy remap and a number of mods. But engine internals are stock and holding very well indeed. But it doesn't get thrashed lol

I find the steering more responsive. Less likely to tram line also. Would happily do the job again for the results gained.

If I remember correctly on these ones I removed the metal sleeve as per the instructions. . But the powerflex instructions do clarify what's needed.

@@jamesswan9289 Same I have a 08 clubman s US. I have milltek sport cat, 2nd cat delete, magnaflow resonator and mufflers for exhaust system but doesnt burble and pop, do you think with resonator delete it would? Your clubman sounds perfect

The resonator delete is the way to go. This now has a remap with a hybrid turbo, wagner intercooler and has a rolling road dyno at 260bhp

@@jamesswan9289 Lots of fun and awesome noises I bet, I have m7 filter with upgraded intercooler going to do resonator delete to see how it sounds

But that won't get you polyurethane bushings.

Not with a remap

Yes it does lol Mines 195hp stage 1 7.0-60 Auto it's not necessary

Quite possibly. All I know was on mine the power continued on the Dyno all the way to redline. The torque dropped though I'll agree with that. Mine was a manuel. Long sold now

Redline on D5 passes 4500,he did not pushed it. Still a lot of torque 😎😎😎😍

These come 185hp stock 😊

no i dont. its a powerflow system thats all i can say.

Quite simply pushes in. Any sort of clamp. But as i had the press just simply used that. No adapter or anything.

@@jamesswan9289 I broke my c clamp do you think i can tap in with a socket and a hammer?

@@jacobrussell2388 it shouldn't be that difficult to push in. I do it without the steel insert in place (the part the bolt with go through). That allows the poly Bush more flex. Then push in the steel insert afterwards. Hope that helps

Hi Dave. Yes the poweflex Bush is a great upgrade and makes the car more precise on the steering. When you say 'rear' you mean the upright bush? Yes with these bushes i did. The instructions were clear by powerflex. Hope this helps

James Swan Hi James Thanks for the fast response, Yes that is the one I mean, I have had the power flex bushes a long time , I just have not pushed my self to fit them as my standard Volvo arms / bushes are still good, I am trying to get a lot done on the car now, I just fitted koni sport adjustable front and rear shocks, these are very nice, Have you got any other tips on fitting the powerflex bushes ? I do have another set of arms to fit them in to, so then I can just swap over, Like you I have got the blue pry leaver tool, And a press to do the bushes, Thanks for your help, Do you use any of the Volvo forums? My username is davebb on all of them, Thanks for all of the lnfo, Dave

Yes the result is very good. No extra road noise and better handling.

I know it's subjective, but is the ride extremely harsh?

With sport off. On this mini the sport mode doesn't effect the exhaust note, only steering and accelerator response

@@jamesswan9289 what cat did you use? I have the R55 as well and would like this soundtrack added to mine

@@badwolf6073 i used the cobra sport cat.

Did you get the high flow spot for the r56&57

A wishbone lever tool. Nielsen CT3755. Got mine of ebay. Thanks

@@jamesswan9289 Thank you James. Do you this tool only for Volvo or can be used for all cars? Thank you.

@@sreviz can be used on any wishbone or any part which requires a downward pressure

hi I got it of ebay. look for a C00G40 to suit 48.3mm dia tube. its also called a sleeve joint. hope this helps

@@jamesswan9289 Awesome! Thanks for the info. Already did this job once back when you had to burn the rubber to reuse the sleeve. Now I've got two p2s so I'm gonna do this again but try out the race versions of the front bushings for my S60R and put the old ones on my V70.

the bolt holes on the power flex bush bar can be rotated. so its just a question of pressing in bush the turning the bolt holes to the correct orientation. hope this helps

Yes i put a larger air scoop on to help.

I know the dual occ are designed with this particular air filter. I did try the original filter box and could only get one catch can in place, fitted to the right as you look at the engine. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I'll probably order their induction kit.

Hi. As far as i know there is no extra stress on the ball joint. Regards braking speeds that depends on the condition of your brakes ect. The biggest improvement i feel is a very positive steering response. Hope this helps

@@jamesswan9289 Thank you for your answer.

my local powerflow center chargers £250 for cat back straight thru and about £70 for every box/muffler fitted and obviously your choice of tail pipe can affect cost too. not sure if that helps you. based in Leicester also

James Swan is that including fitment labour cost ? I think his £495 quote is the exhaust and tip setup to how I want it. So it's no more than £495 (I hope) I am in Glasgow so I am at the mercy of this agent unless I opt for a road trip. Thanks for the reply 👍🏻

yes they are the prices fitted and include vat.

What did you do for a stage 3?

@@monkehbitch stage 3 sport tune (RICA) upgraded (billet) turbo, fuel pump, fuel lines, 120% injectors, Vagner custom intercooler, silicone pipes, swapped the head gasket (incase) k&n fliters, home made addition cold air feed to turbo ....... resulted in 297bhp and 710nm. Long gone now though I do miss her
