captain Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Has anybody got a decent quality clip of the sound of the Blueflame? Their own clips on their website are atrocious and the YouTube selction not much better. A nice close-up still of the end pipe would be good as well. Also, there seem to be a variety of sources. Simply - where's cheapest?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 www.motorsportworld.co.uk £491.87 delivered is best so far. Anyone beat that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 I was but got my head turned by the cat-back Blueflame. Have you checked out their site and videos? http://www.blueflameperformance.com/pra ... 0&pageid=3 I think the look/sound/power gains/price combo is excellent. Any opinions would be welcome.

Never heard one before or know anyone with one, but the clips/website is catchy and looks like the know what they are doing. Good price for y-pipe and exhaust comparable to japspeed. But all exhaust sound nice on clips and its always a good idea to listen to them live before choosing if possible. Go for it so long as there is no bad feedback on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Blueflame have a good rep and those who have run them seemed very happy. However, I think they were all custom jobs and I don't know anyone who has bought "off the shelf". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Blueflame have a good rep and those who have run them seemed very happy. However, I think they were all custom jobs and I don't know anyone who has bought "off the shelf". Blueflame don't do custom as far as I know, at least not normally. Mine was definitely "off the shelf" anyway. You can choose from two different tailpipe options but that's it, and that part bolts on anyway so it's just a matter of them chucking a different tailpipe into the box. One thing to note with the Blueflame 350Z system is that they have recently removed the silencer from the mid pipe to make it a little louder as some people thought it was too quiet. The problem with this change is that it means all of the sound clips on the website are even less representative! Mine is one of the older ones with the mid box in place and I can see what they mean as it really isn't much louder than stock once you get over 3000rpm, although it is a bit more deeper sounding lower down in the rev range. Rather than get the new mid pipe I've decided to chuck some HFCs on and see how that sounds. Fit and finish are excellent by the way! Someone on here recently bought the new spec Blueflame but I don't think they've posted their thoughts on it yet. Might be worth dropping a post in this thread to see if you can get any more info: viewtopic.php?f=62&t=31452 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainSensible Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 K1's proving a bit too loud then is it? Sounded good in Morrison's car park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 From the outside, yes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQsODMuhWOc On the inside, it was a similar noise to me putting my head in Steve Harris's bass bin at a 1981 Iron Maiden gig when I was 17.

So that's new brakes, new rims, new rubber, new exhaust, new air filter, new grille in the last 2 weeks................... Good job I haven't got a social life.

bodyboarder Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Would love to have your thoughts on the exhaust when you have it fitted, in regards to the fitment, build quality and loudness , as it looks like a nice exhaust and a very good price. I had one on my seat ibiza cupra r many years ago and that was really nice. Just a little worried it will be to loud for me with out the mid silencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjones6699 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Deposit paid, waiting for a date for the fitting. Indigo-GT Merthyr. £525 all in. May get it a little cheaper, just waiting for a call to confirm. Captain, any chance of a drive by sound clip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
