Blueflame zorstage? (Now delivered and fitted!)

[Guffers]

Hi guys and girls, im thinking of getting this for the Cupra,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310068200865&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

Anybody got one? Or what you reckon vs a Milltek? Theres some videos on the Tube but nothing on an Ibiza, just LCR's.

And is it an easy fit? Couple of bolts and a tin of gun gum?

I've never heard of anyone on here fitting a Blueflame to their MK4 1.8T. I believe Blueflame exhausts are quite popular with the MK3 lot. Mabye worth asking them?

That does seem like quite a good price however and it should be fairly straight forward to fit

guffers, pm me when you have emptyed your pms,

 

[Joens]

According to blueflames website they do manufacture exhaust for the ibiza mk4. Must be a new product. The retail price should be 335 pounds instead of 275. Would like to know what kind of sound it produces ... Are blueflame exhausts E-proved?

edit: Found a picture...

EXTREME BUMPAGE!!!

Well, took the plunge and bought that zorst off Ebay, took a week to arrive and now i've got this:

Lovely looking thing, didnt expect the full thing to be polished, just the tip!

Tip is identical to stock, except its got one big hole instead of two.

Few chewing gum welds, but they're sealed so no problem. Whos gonna see it anyway!

Onto fitting yesterday, old one had two large bolts on the end of the cat that required some persuasion (read angle grinder and prybar) to get off, other than that very straightforward!
Had to hacksaw the old one as i couldn't get enough height to get it twisted over the H beam.

New Blueflame one in and just needing tightened and tweaked.

Over the moon with it, sounds absolutely sexual when its revved, and burbles over nicely at idle. For £275, its a beast and a bargain!

Looks good...What bore is the pipe? 2.5"?

 

[Guffers]

63mm, so about 2.75 i think

 

[R1ch85]

got any pics showing the rear of teh car and how it sits? Its bigger bore than my milltek and cheaper too damnit! Looks like a quality piece of kit.. any chance you can get some soundclips of it please?

 

[andypandypoos]

I had a Blueflame on my Focus and my brother's got one on his Octavia - both were pretty top notch and my Focus sounds real nice on WOT

 

[Altech]

63mm is bang on 2.5". Have you uprated your downpipe too?

 

[Guffers]

I've had a can so no good soundclips for tonight, but im gonna take it a good test run tomorrow and il get some clips.

The sound is impeccable, even i was surprised. Sounds dead quiet in the cab, but then when you go through a tunnel or something it sounds EPIC!

edit: not upgraded the downpipe, maybe at a later stage when i have more cash! A power gain is nice but really wanted it just to give the car some character. Standard exhaust sounded too boring and shallow for my liking.

One trip to the car later..........

[Ibiza 130 tdi]

That looks a lot nicer than the Milltek version imo. And sticks out the bumper instead of sitting level. The fact it's on pipe and not twins near the end must be a bit better too performance wise? The tailpipe looks nicer than Milltek too.

I know Blueflame seem a lot more popular with the Fabia crew. I know of two Fabia's with Blueflames (both dervs) and they sound awesome!

 

[BigWill]

That looks sexual man, sounds gorgeous n all!
How much was it?

 

[Guffers]

£275 delivered + some gun gum to seal the jounts, fitted it myself, not payin a garage to do something as easy as that!

 

[cupraajy]

look good bud...mate has got the turbo back on his LCR and it sounds imense!! im running a cat back powerflow....wish i looked on ebay and found one of them

 

[kriso]

Nice but I prefer the Milltek sound Do they do a non resonated one?

 

[Guffers]

Nope, no frills. Blueflame make OEM exhausts for TVR, and they sound awesome!

Milltek seem far too dear for what it is, a bit of stainless pipe and baffles.

you can order them without a centre box.
