Title: Blueflame "suitcase" exhaust removal system?? too loud?
Post by: DJM on February 15, 2012, 01:20:51 pm
Seen someone mention it other day and found them for sale for around £150 plus delivery. I currently have custom 3" downpipe and 2.5" decat tailing off onto standard system about half way down the car. Its not really loud unless you jump on the loud pedal and at high revs.

I feel the backbox part is very restrictive as seems over the top etc. This kit from blueflame cuts it all out but noticed there isnt a backbox replacement so I would only be left with middle silencer i believe? Has anyone else got similar set up and is it too loud? Any videos?


Cheers  :happy2:

Sorry to pour water on that bud  :ashamed:
Just trying to save you the heart ache having sat for hours refining and developing the sound for the MK5.
You have the 3.00" down pipe - why not go the whole 9 yards and complete it with our full 76mm cat back 'Sports system' - out of the 3 options we offer on the MK5 I think this could be what your looking for bud.
I can do it for you as a forum member at £425.00 inc vat

No worries, thats why i posted on here so someone could either strike me down or agree its good idea lol. Would have rathered the later option though haha.

You got a picture of the system in question? Im happy with sound of mine now just felt the backbox could be quite restrictive. Not really got £425 spare this month as just booked holiday but will keep it in mind for future as something i think ill end up getting done.

Cheers for the help Nige
