VWR exhaust vs Blueflame

[stiggy]

Hi all,

I'm going to have the vwr springs fitted with WALK soon and was thinking of having the full exhaust done while i'm there.  I've heard and read a lot about the blueflame exhaust but not much about the vwr one (which i believe is a milltek with slight differences and "R" branding).  I'm looking for an exhaust which won't give me a headache at motorway speeds but enhance the sound at the same time.  Does anyone have a full vwr exhaust fitted and if so, what are your views?  Are their exhausts resonated or non-res?  Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Are you looking at a Cat or Turbo back system?

Turbo back

For turbo back I would say the blueflame is best on the motorway at crusing speeds but is the loudest when pushing on.

The VWR/Milltek will suffer from motorway drone unless you go for the res version which you may find too quiet when pushing on.

I have the blueflame on mine, as Steve says its quiet at normal motorway speeds, even my wife approves and she's a tough critic.
If your nr bristol, I'm happy to show you.

From my own perspective I have the non-res Milltek TB system and I do not get any 'boominess' at any speed!  And this has been confirmed by fellow members of this forum!

This is what I have heard about the blueflame and i have heard the vwr exhaust does produce motorway drone.  Have to say I was very close to booking the car in for the blueflame but thought I'd be patient and ask on here/drive vwr's demo car first.  The tailpipes on the milltek/vwr are finished better imo, though that is not the priority for me.

I've also been looking at eurojet exhausts but info on the exhaust is scarce and couldn't find anyone who sells/fits it.  How does it sound compared to the blueflame? Any drone? How much does it cost?

I have heard the vwr exhaust, although supplied by milltek, is slightly different to the standard milltek.  I'm not sure exactly how, but it results in a more boomy sound (correct me if i'm wrong though).  VWR are offering to fit the exhaust without effecting the warranty on the car, which is why I was strongly considering them.

Speak to JBS, thats where I got mine from.

At 70ish there is no drone at all and its barley louder than stock (just a little deeper) but sounds awesome when pressing on. Quality is top notch too, much better than the equivilent milly and IMO better even than APR.

Cost wise, I paid £1k fitted in Jan this year, but exchange rates against the dollar will play a big part in this.

Where abouts in the world are you?

anyone tried any of the others out there, apr, jetex, i noticed the eurojet one was very similar to the blueflame one in design, scorpion is similar too, they have got rid of the rear transverse box for better flow, but at a guess i recon they will be louder. iam still toying with the idea of a blueflame because of price mainly, but if they were all £800 i would go for the milltek res

Near the wonderful world of Cannock!  Do you have any pics of the exhaust? Or sound clips?
