Hi all
i have noticed something over the last couple of weeks
when i start my car first thing in the morning it does not idle high
just idles normal as if the engine is warm
i have had new suitcase delete exhaust by blueflame performance
and noticed it a week after that
dont know what it means? should i be worried
any help would be great
thanks

I dont think the exhaust has anything much to do with it, a quick vagcom check should highlight any issues. Look at coolant temp, oil temp and air temp figures, all should be similar when the engine is totally cold in the morning.

temp gauge is at the bottom and warms up as usual after 5-10mins
everything else seems normal, such as performance, engine sound, mpg...
my friend has vagcom so will as him to bring it around

Mines the same :laugh:

Mine is the same in cold weather, the revs don't sit high they just go straight to 'normal' idle. In warm weather they will sit high for a while then drop. Been doing this for 4 years so assume its normal enough but I have to admit I would have thought it would be the other way round.

Sorry to change subject slightly. But how loud is it with the backbox removed? I got decat downpipe n standard system, i like how only loud when foot down. did that make it constantly loud or only when foot to floor at over 4k

Mate all I can say the exhaust is AWESSOMEE :jumpmove:
Its not loud on the motorway no drones or boom noises
Its quite in city driving and a beast when accelerating hard
Mines a DSG gear box when it changes gear the dsg burp sounds wicked
Don’t get me wrong you can tell you have a different exhaust cause of the deepness in sound but not chavy no way annoying
Man it puts a smile on my face and love driving my car even more
If your thinking of this setup I would recommend blueflame performance cause you know your dealing with big boys cause they manufacture exhaust unlike nearly everyone else
Custom places are a joke I have used MIJ in Birmingham what a load of pants
Never again anywhere like that. Bending some pipes together and welding them calling that a custom exhaust
The quality is exceptionally high and uk made it’s the best £150 I have ever spent
On the car
No mpg less
Better and smoother gear changes (don’t know why)
2.5inch pipe
3.5inch tail pipe fits snug
Cant appraise them enough

This does look smart :happy2:
Do you have a link for a place to purchase???
cheers

speak to nige at bcs on here blueflame has gone bust, but he designed the system and is still producing them with some changes/improvements to the design :happy2:

They did go bust, then almost instantly setup again, but without Nigel who is now BCS.

i didnt know they had set up again, but i definately knew they went bust or something along those lines :P

yeah read about that on a lot of forums at the time it happened
not sure what its about, but i do know they manufacture exhaust for a lot of companies
such as kahn projects which are my mates cousins and how i come across blueflame
they make for other big big names which i think a lot of people would be shocked if they knew
but not my place to say anything :signLOL:
-
Cheers for the info, will look into it. Yeah I wouldn't go MIJ or any other really not if that part I my £150. My mate had MIJ exhaust was too loud IMO

I've been following this thread with some interest as i am interested in this item. I have a couple of questions for the op though. Do you retain the rest of your standard system and if so i am assuming you have to cut the original system to accomodate this. Also do you have any videos of the sound quality of this. The reason i ask this is i am running a decat mated to a standard back box and when you give it the beans it sounds rather meaty, but if i only had the small box towards the middle of the car then it may be too loud for my liking. :smiley:

no sound clip ive had lots of ppl message me so ive ordered a camera clamp my aim is to record it as i drive so ppl get an idea, i think its perfect on the standard exhaust.
but i know what you mean by decat and then no exhaust can imagine it being loud but nice
just dont touch the resonator (small box in the middle) cause that makes it annoying in the car
-
Think i might have to invest in 1 of these. :happy2:

hi come across this video would be same setup as urs if you get the suitcase delete
read the guys comments same as what I'm saying about it
-
Im not sure about just the suitcase delete, i think he's got rid of the resonator box as well as it says in the descripton, straight through. Maybe if i left the standard res box in place it would be a little quieter as this is too loud for my liking. Thanks for the info anyway

From what i can make out it would appear that he has got shot of the Resonator as well and gone straight through.

no problems in p and r, it was just the first start of the engine in the morning but it seems fine depends on how cold it is in the morning
some times the choke comes on and other times it wont
