BlueFlame
« on: August 14, 2013, 11:48:34 am »
Hi. Would the addition of a BlueFlame backbox to my standard system result in an increase in decibels across the entire rev range?

This is what I was looking at http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200952717739?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I don't like to draw attention around town ( I have a Ducati with carbon exhausts for that  :wink: ), but out on the open road I thought it might add a little to the driving experience.

I've seen a couple of videos of GTI's running BlueFlame but they're not pootling around.  :laugh:

Anyone with advice?

Sounds good to me TFORREST94  :smiley:

CHOWGAR : Looks interesting but pricewise the BlueFlame seem such a good deal.

I've got a full Blueflame and when under load it is a lt louder than stock but at a cruise it is totally silent until about 85mph. Beyond that it can be a little boomy but nothing an extra notch on the volume can't fix.

Disclaimer: I drive an A3 which I have been told has more sound deadening than the Mk5.
