Hi guys
Thought I would share my new purchase, a turbo back exhaust from blueflame performance. I’ve been looking to get a system for a while and I have spoken to them many times. I think they where sick of hearing from me every other week LOL
I wanted milltek but decided I wanted to be different, as most people have milltek, according to different reviews on different exhaust companies such as:
Milltek
Scorpion
Magnex
Blueflame
I couldn’t find one review on an mk5 gti with scorpion, so I ruled it out… I didn’t want to be that different! :signLOL: Then be upset after making a mistake.
Milltek have good reviews, some people have had rust issues on the welding near the exhaust tips and some people said they are over rated. But the reason I turned it down was the price as I was working on a budget.
Magnex, again couldn’t find much info, but read they were made by Blueflame? :confused:
I don’t know how true that is, but the prices of a Magnex are more expensive than Milltek.
Blueflame performance :congrats:, what can I say it has transformed my car and I smile while I drive! :driver: I love my car even more now. It’s just spiced it up! I read nothing but good things about them and the quality is meant to be better than Milltek.
Some people said that the Blueflame systems are loud :stupid:, all I can say is that it now it is giving the car a nice deep growl when driving… PERFECT! :evilgrin: It’s not chavy or annoying… I can’t hear any drone in the car or boom sounds :grin:… I do a lot of motorway driving and my daily drive I cover 45-50 miles… I hear nothing! Obviously only if I put my foot down! :evilgrin:
My normal mpg was average 36mpg now its 38.9mpg when driving sensible, its already paying its self off :jumping:.
I managed to bag myself a brilliant deal. The system should have been £1195, but they have a discount offer on the website with 20% for a limited time. This makes the system at £956 plus fitting.
BUT I didn’t pay that :happy2:
I PAID…. :jumpmove:
£750 fitted WTF!!!!! :surprised:
100cell highflow cat and cat back for £750 :notworthy: it cant be possible, I really cant believe I got it at this price. They said it was a special offer on the MK5 golf exhausts and was on till the 13th April
I hope this helped anyone who was in the same predicament as me.
-
I have the same system as you except it's a decat and it F'STW!!!!
-
Got any pictures? Which website did you go through?
-
How did you get that price mate? Did you have to quote a special offer or something?
-
Pic's please! :happy2:
-
No I didn't do anything special just called them got the number of there website
Blueflameperformance.com and spoke to Lloyd.
I was that excited didn't even think of taking pics, but I will get under the car today and take some

-

The tail pipes are 3.5inch and fit perfect I thought they might of been too big
-
Yeah when you call up just ask for lloyd, once he gives you the price tell him your friend or someone that recommended you has told you of a lower price and he will have no problems sorting you out, I got my downipe and decat for £240 delivered (3")
-

I take it you work for Blueflame then. :rolleye:
-
lol work for blueflame
im sure i would of got it cheaper than that.

Weren't these the old blueflame stock they were selling off before the new BCS systems were re-tweaked and released? remember seeing reduced prices and deals on ready made systems a while back :confused:
Not saying its not any good, everyone raves about them and are quality bits of kit but might explain the price and deal?
Dave
-
Do you have any silencers in the system? or is it just downpipe, sports cat then pipe to exhaust tips? I was looking at their back box removal pipe but thought it may be to loud with decat.

yeah it has two i think but no back box i will have a look later if it stops raining so i can get under and have a look
its not loud though, its got a nice deep sporty sound. I have had nothing but complements about the sound :grin:
and also very confident its not annoying my neighbourhood as i drive past at night and cold start in the mornings. :happy2:

No these are not when I ordered mine they took a week to produce it, so they are not on shelves, also BCS and blueflame are two different company's both producing good quality exhausts

I would like to firstly say Hello to everyone, I am as you can see by the username Adam and I work at BlueFlame. I was speaking to Bulak when he was here getting his system fitted, he mentioned this forum so I thought it best to hop on the bandwagon and see if I can offer any help.
Weren't these the old blueflame stock they were selling off before the new BCS systems were re-tweaked and released? remember seeing reduced prices and deals on ready made systems a while back :confused:
Yes they are the same systems that were sold to Nigel at BCS who used to work with us before he went his separate way, and later adapted these to his own specifications.
We build our systems to order in our unit with a lead time of 7-10 working days.
We also offer fitting at any day that is available to both parties.
Do you have any silencers in the system? or is it just downpipe, sports cat then pipe to exhaust tips? I was looking at their back box removal pipe but thought it may be to loud with decat.
Our Mk5 GTI system has 2 silencers, one in the centre and one before our boxless rear.
Here is a picture of our Turbo Back system

I have a Blueflame system on my TT. I managed to get in to be test mule and happy with how things turned out. Pretty much the same system as the Mk5 just a little different layout. I since then have removed one of the silencers but it is far too loud now! I immediately regretted that discussion :signLOL: Sounds peachy when driving slow but has some drone!
Also I will add that it has passed 2 MOT's with the 100 cell racing cat too!
-
Welcome along adam
can you find out if dave has seen my email please :happy2:
Thank you for the welcome Mike.
If it's the Dave I think you're referring to then I've not seen the guy for nearly 2 years now (jeez how time flies :surprised:)
-
Dave @ BCS? :confused: Ref my rear valance?
BCS isn't Blueflame
-
Dave @ BCS? :confused: Ref my rear valance?
Dave is Nige's business partner at BCS, im pretty sure Blueflame wont know anything about BCS :signLOL:
-
ive been a complete 'tard there. As you were gents...
Taxi for Christou!

Haha at least it was the Dave I thought you meant Mike :wink:

Hey Adam, any chance of a price for a full turbo back for a mkv 1.4tsi 170? Can't see any info on your site! Cheers, James

welcome to the forum blueflame :smiley:

Welcome to the forum Adam
Loving my exhaust :drinking:

FAO Adam,
Hi and welcome to the forum !
A cheeky quick question for you, how much for a mk5 r32 set up, I love the stock sound on the r32, don't really like the miltek sound, it loses the sweet buzz sound you have on standard.
What's the blueflame sound like ?
Am looking for nicer tips, if possible an increase in performance which I doubt it unless I upgrade cats, but most of all a similar sound to stock but louder and no droning !
I don't ask for much lol !

Check on youtube for vids with blueflame on R32's, IMO sounds the same but more crazy! lol

Hello Ree!
I would message you this but my messaging seems to be playing up slightly (I'll try another browser out later and fingers crossed that solves the problem).
We could do the MK5 R32 Downpipe back system as a special offer at £820.00 inc VAT, and that covers either fitting or delivery to mainland UK.
I do have a video clip of the system as both resonated and none resonated on here and I will forward it to you when I get the private messaging sorted on here, until then I'm sure youtube will be more than happy to help.
And don't worry about questions lol. I personally wouldn't spend over £100 on anything unless I knew pretty much exactly what it was am I getting :grin:

We unfortunately do not have a jig for a full turbo back system for the 170 version (we only have it for the 122). Our technician believes that the downpipe is different between the two.
This is something we would be more than happy to develop in our unit for £750.00 as a special offer.

For a R32 Catback on its own we will charge £421.83 (inc VAT) with an additional charge of £25.00 for delivery (Mainland UK) or £50.00 for fitting :smiley:
-
Thanks for the reply Adam :smiley:
Would this include sports cat? And as u don't know too much about exhausts, is it resonated/non resonated? I don't want anything that's going to turn my car into a chav mobile!
How long would you need the car for?
Cheers, James

Sent you a PM yesterday Adam for a price on a Edition 30 GTI turbo back!?

Sorry about that, I've been hoping you would comment on here as I've been having trouble messaging you back.
Price for the Edition 30 GTI is £750.00 and that includes VAT and either fitting or delivery :happy2:
-
It's because you need 10 posts to be able to pm :happy2:
2 more posts and you're there!
Any comments from anyone regarding stage2 vs stage1? I know I've git the 1.4tsi, but is getting the full turbo back and stage2 worth the extra? Any opinions appreciated :smiley:
-
Well that explains it, I thought there would have been some kind of limit :wink:

-
do they do a 2L tdi cat back?
-
Pm'd you adam
-
i'm booked in. need a new exhaust anyway as i think my cat is blocked
can't wait
-
Ive just purchased the Blueflame backbox (suitcase delete) for my Eddy for £150 delivered so looking forward to getting that. May add to the system if impressed :happy2:
-
do they do a 2L tdi cat back?
Unfortunately we do not manufacture a system for the 2.0 TDI but we would be happy to develop one for you in our unit :smiley:
-
were abouts is tour unit and what sort of money we talking, already have pulse synergic mig and tig plant so could build myself just havent got a ramp atm, lol
-
Our ramps are in Skelmersdale WN8 9PW.
Price for developing and fitting the exhaust will be £750.00 due to the deal we are currently running for the Mk5 Golf range.
We have supplied bits for people to make their own exhausts in the past but it can be messy and problematic so we try to steer away from that. We don't mean any offence to anyone's skills, it's just speaking from experience lol.
-
that would be a 2 1/2 hour drive for me so would be very interested in buying the parts, have already construsted turbo manifolds and full systems for conversions
so id quiet like to noe the price for 3m of pipe and 6 x 45 bends 4x 90 degree bends all in 3inch ss, normally get it local but they take ages to get it for me
