Title: Will a blue flame get quieter?
Post by: Baz300 on August 13, 2012, 12:24:59 pm

I fitted my blue flame turbo back exhaust at the weekend but Its far too loud for me even on idle

Will it get quieter? There is def no leaks and it is quiet enough when cruising just too much noise when going through the revs

If its a new exhaust, it will generally get louder once it 'soots up', I know my milltek non-res has anyway!

Had my blueflame on for a few months now and its still quite loud. i like it though  :happy2:

Think you would be better off with a resonated miltek if you want something quieter.

yup i think if you wanted quiet Blueflame was not the way to go as one of the louder ones afaik.

still... dont despair yet, you may find you get to like it.

i was very concerned when having the pipewerx tbe fitted but i like it now

I'll give it a few months to see if it grows on me  or not.

I didn't think it would be this loud though

Yep only gets louder i had a de-cat turbo back blueflame and it does get louder id say a few percent louder after a week or two. Its not to bad though if you feel its to loud maybe check another members car if your close to compare? you never know the factory may have not put enough baffle in it ( Unlikely but you never know )
