Doony and others have mentioned the blue Flame Exhaust available at some reasonable prices on Ebay. I got hold hold of a nearly new one of these at a rather nice price so thought i'd let you know what I think. So it arrived today and i've taken some photos

Really please with the quality and its condition as I said its not brand new. I've weighed it at 9.4 Kg. Anyone know what the stock one weighs? Hoping the BlueFlame is less?

The tip is 4 inches the standard is 2.5 inches. It is quite large but i'm hoping not stupidly so, will let you know when it's on the car and i'll post pictures.

Update to follow when i've had it fitted.

ooh i look forward to too that, i'm really fancying this as the money saved will pay for other mods, my only concern is the tip will look fat and nova boy

Anyhow, the stock exhaust is 28lbs, and the blue flame at 9.4kg is 20.68lbs, so quite a bit lighter  s:) :) s:)

Sure you can live without 500hp, but it\'s languishing.

I recently bought one and am well pleased with it (recommended it on the forum recently) its a lot lighter and sounds nice but not in your face. the tip  of the pipe is quite big but not too over the top and i have got used to it now, would recommend them as service was V good

Got mine fitted yesterday. No pictures yet as my home ADSl connection is down.

First impressions:

Sound: I have the replacement intake pipe and no pre-cats. As far as i'm concerned the exhaust is loud! Lots of bassy resonance at 2k - 3k revs. Is it too loud? To early to tell but maybe. I've never heard any other replacement exhausts for the 2 so cant make a comparison.

Looks: Yes the Tip is large and it would look better if it was slightly smaller but it doesnt look stupid. I was running without the nappy before but i've now put this back on and this helps the looks as it balances out the size of the tip. The tip also sticks out quite a lot from the back of the car.

When I post the pictures you can pass your judgement!

Quick Update.

I'm sure that I can feel the weight reduction that this exhaust gives. Most noticeable on high speed sweeping corners e.g tight dual carriageway corners. The car feels like it is leaning less heavily on the outside rear tyre. Gives you more confidence to push harder.

not sure what your asking to be honest.

dual or single exit exhaust has nothing to do with your main or pre-cats

Most exhausts are cat back exhausts so they will have no effect on the cats or precats as these are left as is.

It's the slash cut that makes it look like that in the photo. The looks are growing on me. Still think it's a bit noisy at around 2000 revs. Hoping it will resonate less once it cokes up a bit.

When i'm trying to be quiet dawdling around town at 30!

Jst come back from a week in Cornwall. I still think its loud but i'm getting used to it! It's burbling and popping a lot now and i think resonating slightly less. Unfortunately i wont be at JAE as i'm at a party in Yorkshire. It would be interesting to see if i'm just being an old man when it comes to how noisy it is.

That's a shame we won't be able to measure the noise level on our sound off comp  s:? :? s:?
