I would also like to add my opinion of my new bleflame on this thread. I have had the same system as matts fitted to my car :happy2:.

First thing you notice is the quality/fit and finish of the exhaust, the tailpipes are a perfect size for the ed30 rear. They look like bigger versions of the stock tailpipes which is what i was after.

Next thing is the growl on startup, straight away i knew the car was going to sound awesome with the deep burble at idle.
I couldnt wait to drive the car and i took it through the revs in 2nd and 3rd and i couldnt wipe the huge grin off my face :evilgrin:.
When on full throttle it sounds completely different to the milltek i had on previously louder at full throttle with a few more pops and bangs when lifting off :evilgrin:.
My only worry with the exhaust being louder than the milltek was that it may be louder/more boomy at motoryway speeds. I was very wrong its really quiet at motorway cruising speeds and is quieter than my non res milly was.
I also feel i have more top end grunt as i had the 2.75"dp and my new system is 3" all the way so it helps get the exhaust gasses out quicker.
Im a very happy customer. Big thanks to nigel and chris at blueflame for sorting out the exhaust at a great price and thanks to matt for sorting it all out :happy2:

Blue flame look to be a good alternative to Milltek, would the 3" make a difference over 2.75 when it comes to BHP?

100% YES more bhp as the ko4 will make more boost

also the milly has quite a few kinks in the pipework. the blueflame pipework flows much easier

you would lose some of the torq switiching from 2.75" to 3" I am led to believe.

I really want one of these but the wifes not working at the mo so cant justify the £££, great price though

....I've heard that too. Also back pressure may be effected but not necessarily a problem.

i would say if you are running a ko3 setup then go for the 2.75 that they do but if you have k04 and are going for bigger bhp then 3"" would be better for more gains, but then again Tc got the 3"" system so ETTO

I enquired about this as i had the exact same concerns, they told me all of the testing they did came up with the 3" system giving the best gains on a mapped car, and on a standard one there was a small loss of bottom end torque but nothing that you would notice.  :innocent:
