Mixed Views on BlueFlame?

[HarveyGTI]

Hi all

I have been up across a number of threads and most people seem to like the blue flame exhausts, especially for the Leons because of the oval shape design which fits the cut out bumpers v nicely

however i have read some scepticism of these exhausts

its seems 90% are very happy, but of course there will always be the minority I suppose

Views please?

I agree, im one of the few that has had problems, but that was sorted, and it still makes me smile when i go through a tunnel and blip the throttle, i love the sound.

From what i understand, the problems stemmed from early design downpipes. Now these have been braced, the problem has gone. Only other thing said to me was about weld quality being lesser than the Milltek and Magnex, although i've heard nothing about weld failures. I think that is reflected in the price though. You don't get something for nothing any more!

Although, in saying that, i've heard of MK4 Golf owners getting BF's and ditching their Millteks cos they can't cure the rattles.........

i have probably had the most hassle from BF... and i LOVE my system!

have almost cried at certain times tho! (like arriving at pod and finding out my 2nd DP has cracked again! )

I'm sure we can arrange something.

In all seriousness, you know you'll do it at some point, why not when its cheaper than normal. Fabia wipers and S2000 aerials cost next to nothing so you can buy those any time!
