Robin,

are you saying that you have had not negative aspects to your mods? 

how else was i to interpret your post?

....I'm sorry that that is your experience but I tend to hear the same story from you about most of your mods. My experiences have been different and more positive - We can each only report our individual findings.  :happy2:

Hi Dave,

I'm struggling to think off-hand which, if any (surely there must be some), of my mods I've had particularly bad experiences of. Certainly there are mods I needn't have bothered with in hindsight. I probably deal with problems differently than you do and may be more 'forgiving' towards a company that makes a mistake.

But I think you set yourself much higher standards than I do and knowing your engineering background applied to machines such as helicopters where it's obviously essential for safety, you are right to do so.

I apologise if my words either upset/offended you or were ambiguous - No offence was intended.

Anyhoo back to the original topic, I just got a blueflame last night TBH ive heard it was louder than the miltek, but ive also heard that it does not suffer from the motorway Droan, Which the guy i spoke to at blueflame assured me off.  Im hoping its not too loud and i was also assured that it will pass track noise emmissions, Also cant beat the price either i paid £310.. i think it was no more than £330 for the cat back which i thought was a bit of a bargain, Ive had a Miltek on my Mk4 Gti which i liked it suffer a bit from droan but it was still a good system and i could live with the droan no bother as it wasnt that bad, Since then ive had an eisenmann which was amazing twice as loud as the miltek with no droan, I thought id give the blueflame a try as ive never heard a bad word about it, i really like the slash cut tail pipes, the R32 rear does look good though, i dont think i could hold out if i had the cash waiting though

Re drone sounds: I think you'll find that when stainless steel pipes are new before coking up, and also when very cold, there'll be more droney types of noise.

Btw, Milltek are now producing titanium exhausts but not for our lowly GTI's - 3x the cost.

Enjoy your Blueflame  :happy2:

i find it can be a bit droney on the motorway in the morning but in the evening its ok. personally i think its a little bit louder than i thought it should be, when i live in a very quiet town and leave for work very early i sometimes worry its gonna wake people up even just pottering through! its mental when you give it beans !

Great thread...stokeballoon thought your "war and peace" post was on the spot.  :drinking:

I can say that I'm probably the unluckiest member of the forum...every single mod I have had has required revisiting/correction, etc.  

I guess its part of the "fun"...  :stupid:

BTW... got a milly and I'm reasonably happy with it - apart from the recent TBE fitting issue being looked into.

I got to say I was a bit disappointed with Milltek upon raising a concern with the "fitting" of their TBE.  Their customer service fobbed me off by saying it couldn't be an issue with their part and that I should go back to the people who fitted it.

Further details here http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=10883.msg166648#msg166648

This is also my experience of the Blueflame, its like it has a mind of its own, depends what mood its in  :laugh:

If i have been out for a good blast and the zorst is really hot, for me it sounds too loud, though my back seats have been out since September  :rolleye:, it feels like the world can hear me coming.  :ashamed:
