How do you manage to keep your car so clean underneath, Matt?

Is there a back box on your system or is it halfway only, as in your pic?

Jet wash

and no back box just the 1 half way down as i was after as free flowing as we could get  :happy2:

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

Sounds lovely in real life Mat!! Pops and bangs like mine, but has a deeper note and a slightly louder idle!

Hows it faring since you've put some miles on it? Does it get boomy/droney at all?

well after putting about 700miles on it over the last week or so i am finding it less boomy than the milltek non res and more meaty at idle and a deeper yet louder when giving it some  :evilgrin: and for me its the perfect setup and the noise i was after.
I like the look of the tail pipes as they look stock but are just bigger in size so it just suits the back end and by losing the big exhaust box at the back of the bumper it lost a bit of weight aswell but that still not helping the clutch out  :rolleye:.
When i had the exhaust put on the car it was in stock mode and the sound was good and after a day or so i thought lets stick the map on and see how it sounds and i just left a smile on my face  :grin:, after a trip up to newcastle my exhaust light came on  :sad: but i knew it would do as its running a 3" system so after getting home and plugging it in to vag com it was as i thought lower temp on lambda probe, so after a quick thought i knew stage 2 had to go on the car asap to sort this out as it takes into account you are running a free flowing system  :happy2:. Now after having stage 2 put on it not changed the idle / mtr way driving noise  :smiley: but now give it some right foot and it just sounds awesome and even my mate with the clio said my god that sounds awesome  :evilgrin: and not like a 4 pot as its such a deep noise.
 

verdict am i happy with it? YES i have made a good choice and i know no matter what any probs they will sort it no matter how small and the sound is so addictive  :evilgrin:

the thing i like is its not a Milltek and its not the same as everyone else and thats a good thing for me as i dont like to do the same as others  :rolleye:

would i say get one to others? Yes i would and i would say give nigel a call at blueflame or get in on a group buy on this setup  :happy2:

Sounds like you're a very happy man Mat! Congrats!

I approve also, and would have seriously considered it, had there been one available/had i lived closer to Blueflame when I was making my decision!

I didn't get a chance to hear it at The Pod (nor to talk to you) but it's great to read your enthusiasm and enjoyment of it. Posted sound clips just don't cut it for me.

Deeper always sounds better on a 4-pot imo. I look forward to hearing it some day.

Sounded very nice at the Pod Mat...  My Milltek's got less boomy on the motorway after 1500 miles so I'm very happy with it now - and IMO it makes my Ed30 sound better than my wife's R32  :surprised: :surprised: :surprised:

There is no point in doing a separate review for this post, so i would like to just add to this one.

I got my Blue flame turbo back zorst fitted today.



I have done about 2 hours driving so far and i cant stop smiling every time i put my foot down.
It is nice and civilised under normal driving then just sounds completely different when accelerating. Most of the extra sound comes at low revs until it picks up a bit of pace.
At high revs it sounds similar to a Milltek system, but getting there it is much deeper.  :evilgrin:
But most of all it has transformed the DSG gear changes which if you time it right you normally get a nice blip, but time it right now and you get a beautiful loud BOPPP  :evilgrin:

The reason I asked where you got it made was I went for exactly the same tail pipe on my GTI when I had the R32 rear on that.. Looks perfect IMO!

Also, DSG changes with an exhaust sound great dont they! Love that on this vid..

Also found out they grow today as well  :ashamed: did not know that. I asked for them to sit no more than a centimetre out from the trim, and i actually watched them grow nearly an inch.  :chicken:
