Blueflame back box

[jetsetjimbo]

Can anyone confirm that the blueflame back box for the LCR will fit on the standard exhaust?

I have tried searching but have struggled to find anything and it's late - long day at BTCC

 

[owen lcr]

it will not fit the standard exhaust system as the BF is 3" stainless

i believe the blueflame is 2.75" from the cat back but im not sure what the OEM exhaust was. your biggest problem would be mating the two together. the OEM is flattened as it goes over the rear axle so it doesnt give you much to play with, as far as cutting and fitting goes.

Blueflame sell the cat-back section only, as well as the full system, so I'd be very surprised if it couldn't be fitted to the standard exhaust as that would render one of their products useless.

you could get a reducer sleeve from local exhaust suppliers to get it to fit!!

 

[karlosR]

hmm, are you looking at the one on ebay too?

 

[CRAIGLCR]

think ive seen that one!! the rear box looks really small!!!

 

[RobM]

Not the one with a huge dent in it? Oh dear... a damaged exhaust that's been reversed into a kerb or dropped doesn't sound like a good buy to be honest.

 

[karlosR]

it was probably this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=140108210461&rd=1&rd=1 if i had a spare £87 i'd have put a bid on it

 

[RobM]

Oh good! There was (is...?) one on eBay with a big dent in it going cheap.

 

[CRAIGLCR]

yeh look at the size of the rear box??? looks a lot smaller than the box on my milltek!!! restriction maybe????????????

 

[RobM]

Not necessarily, it's not the size that's a problem it's the internal design.

 

[CRAIGLCR]

He says it pops n bangs every now and again!!!!! what the hell do you want your LCR to sound like a saxo for???????????

 

[RobM]

Bear in mind that the exhaust in that link isn't a normal 'off the shelf' Blueflame. It's a custom one that's been done to the sellers own requirements. From the description it sounds a bit chavvy, but each to their own.

 

[CRAIGLCR]

each to their own as you said but the sound i get from the milltek is pure harmony!!! definately no pops or bangs!!!

If it sounds anything like my blueflame back box it will rattle, but dont want to go through all that again.............I will replace it with a miltek soon !!

rob it is an 'off the shelf' exhaust.. so they all sound like that and he was asking about a backbox not a cat back. so you would have to mate the blueflame to the original exhaust somehow.. my original exhaust was one piece from the cat back and it was an absolute b**ch to cut off.

apologies rob i thought you were talking about my exhaust

Mate
If I got a Milltek back box, that should fit straight onto my blueflame CAT pipe, shouldnt it ?

We were talking about the one in the link karlosR posted. That one is a custom exhaust, as it clearly states in the auction. It was made for the seller by Blueflame to his requirements. Blueflame have been doing custom exhausts since day one, and this is one of them.
