Sorry to ask more questions Nigel.

I'm a bit confused, is the system an all new development or a hybrid of the BlueFlame?

If it's the latter what parts are modded BlueFlame?

Sorry again it's just the review, as good as it is, is confusing me.

No disrespect please don't take that the wrong way.

What I am trying to say/ask is........is it made from scratch or does it incorporate elements of BlueFlame parts?

Hi There
No problem.
Essentially the new systems on offer are built from scratch by BCS Automotive.
We have re designed the downpipe - which now incorporates a different turbo elbow which enables the the pipe to run straight through the engine tunnel and no longer requires the heat shield to be bent out of the way.
The front silencer is also larger and makes for better overall tone.
In addition all of the components are designed to interchange with the new power valve system due out in November. (fully integrated exhaust gas flow control valve - within a 3.00" system, a first for the MK5)
The basic principal of the system remains from when I first designed the system back in 2005 when I owned Blue Flame - ie full 76mm TBE with all of the silencing done in advance of the rear wheels to maximise gas speed through the system.
Please feel free to call me for a more detailed appraisal.
Cheers
Nige

Thanks Nige thats exactly what I wanted.

Also I noticed that the downpipe support in the review is different to the picture on your website?

Is the review pre production and the website final?

And has there been any issues with the 100cell CAT passing emissions on the MOT?

I will be interested to see the Power Valve system, where does it get its signal to operate from? Can it be manually over ridden? Would it need to be?

Thanks again.

Egerly waiting for the valvetronic. Is this something like the 911's have which changes the exhaust noise when wished or dependant on how hard the accelerator is pressed?

How would it differ to the original post exhaust which is quiet at low revs and motorways but loader with beans?

Cheers

Do you have sport cat or decat?
Have you got the second resonator out?

Mine sounds amazing and I'm not even stage 1 yet :)

I'll upload video with my new 4s soon :)

We've been using the technology on niche projects for a while now - but the ultimate goal was to develop one for the TFsi/TSi engined cars. Unlike the Porsche system which is manually switchable and a novelty at first, I wanted to develop a system that still favoured the hard core tuner looking to maximise the potential power available. With this in mind the goal was to insert the valve in such a way and re configure the silencing to allow the system to pass noise emissions at all of the key check points and yet when the go button is pressed and the car comes on boost to sound awesome.
I should have video and pricing details soon - can't wait to share this with you guy's.

hey Joe homologated sport cat and de cat options are available and the option to delete the front silencer - although this would be extremely loud on boost as the centre silencer is also effectively deleted.

Hi chaps
Just got back after a run down to WGT in Northwich to measure the final TBE system on their Dyno Pack chassis dyno.
Sadly an issue with the computer meant that we will have to delay the test until tomorrow  :sad:   
However, just couldn't wait to share my experience of the 40 minute sprint there and back.
The introduction of the larger front silencer has IMO perfected this system, in addition we installed the tail section with twin 76mm angle cut trims instead of the 90mm version.
The power is amazing even on the stock map - boost is there almost immediately, and as for the tone   :grin:   just can't get enough! Reminded me of my first MK1 GTi 25 years ago.
Let me tell you anyone sitting on the fence over this group buy needs to come and experience this, and quick, I promise you - you will be as blown away by this as I am. Some may say that's a bit biassed based on the fact that I make the systems. In answer, I would simply say that first and foremost in order to do this job properly you have to be an enthusiast of the first order, to be able to create something that embodies that intangible feeling you get from the knowledge that something is right from the off. Something that stirs the emotion to the point that everything else at that moment in time is forgotten as you experience the feeling you dreamt of growing up looking at cars beyond the reach of mortal men.
OTT - well put it this way I'm trying to think up an excuse to get back in it and get another fix - could do with a sandwich - I know a Tesco in Birmingham  :smiley:   
In the meantime - here's a few images to show off the 76mm trims (90mm will still be available) Next up will be some video footage, but short of hiring out the Top Gear film crew, It just won't do it justice.
Cheers
Nige

Looking good, much prefer the size of the tail pipes compared to the 90mm no the system i had fitted when visited you guys. Out of interest how much would it be to change over?
