I believe they are very popular with the Audi TT boys IIRC.

i looked into these a while ago as they arnt far from me. they wanted me to go down so they could develop a new system. couldnt get a price as the guy said he had never done one on a mk5.
they are bl000dy good zorsts thow, very good quality and sound amazing. (on an m3, not hurd on a golf) :smiley:

They have 2 Mkv's on the website i linked above. I have just been listening to them on you tube as well, i might pop down there when i get back off me hols its only 15 minutes from my house. :smiley:

I think thats what i will need. :party: They do full custom as well.
I was hoping that a few people may be able to tell us about the quality. :jumpmove:
-
i'm pretty sure they made the OEM exhausts for the TVR Tuscan. so they should be decent!
-
Not a great website though, they list the Mk5 as 1.8T :confused:
-
website is gash i know but it really doesnt reflect the company.
i remember they had alot to do with TVR aswell. :smiley:

As Steve says, Blueflame exhausts are VERY popular with MK1 and MK2 TT owners, and quite often favoured over Miltek by them - for both noise and quality!
The only reason I didn't go for one was because I had never seen/heard one on a MK5, and with them being so far away from me it just wasn't convenient.
:happy2:

Cheers Chris, i was sure you would have came across them in your research phase. :innocent:

oooo thats a well nice look on the R32 Matt :happy2: love the tips
-
You've had some pretty nice cars haven't you Mat! :happy2:

There was a lot of talk about these over on Seatcupra.net a few years ago when they developed the LCR exhaust, from what I remember quite a few went for it - few problems initially but then it was a newly designed system.
-
Just add my 2 pence worth, I know alot of ppl say that they are good and I believe alot of bikers favour blueflame aswell. I bought one off ebay for my Focus ST225 and good god what a sh*tty rubbish fit :sad: I only had it a couple of months and ended up going with Miltek :grouphug: the lad who fitted my miltek noted how bad the exhaust had been put together...I suppose you always are going to get a bad batch.

I had one fitted on my previous MK4 GTI Turbo. This was part of a group buy at the time on ukmkivs.net. I think it cost around £240 for a cat-back system. Anyway, I think they used my car as guinea pig, as I was there hours having it fitted/made. But it was worth the wait! Top quality and great, not boomy sound. Would recommend.

I have been interested in Blueflame zorsts for a while now, and yesterday got a chance to go down to visit there company. One of our members was getting a full custom exhaust for his ED 30. :evilgrin:
Obviously it was going to take quite a few hours to knock up as it was the first ED 30 one they had done.
The owner was a nice chap and took time out to give Mat and i a Tour of the facility's, where they do everything in house. :smiley:
Also kept us supplied with hot drinks.
Anyway the long and short of it was that Mat's new full custom exhaust sounded amazing when finished, and i was that impressed i will be getting a Blue flame exhaust myself in a few weeks. :happy2:
I am sure Mat will be along to fill us in about his thoughts on the zorst, and also in a few days he is going to do a write up in the product review section. :drinking:
EDIT: its alredy done. http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1611.0
