Righty'o

I bought mine about January time so i dont know if things have changed since then....

When my exhaust arrived there was no clamp to fit it to the turbo, a minor problem and nothing a quick phone call wouldn't sort. 3 days later i had the clamp.

Once fitted the exhaust didn't protrude out of the bumper cutout far enough, the end of the tailpipe was actually inside the bumper cutout, because the exhaust fits together with flanges there was no way to 'stretch' the system slightly to make it longer, the only sliding joint is on the front pipe, i had to slide the exhaust back to get the tail piipe to come out of the bumper, I couldn’t slide it as far back as it needed though, because if I did it put all the mounting brackets out of line with each other also it meant there wasn't sufficient material from the front pipe inside the rest of the system and I wouldn’t be able to clamp it together.. you with me so far?

So, I had to leave the tail pipe flush with the rear bumper in order to get the thing to fit. Now this wasn’t ideal but I thought it would be ok until id worked out a way round it.

Anyway after the 1st drive I noticed the exhaust had started to melt the inside of the bumper slightly, nothing too serious and you couldn’t see it without getting under the car.

So I took it off again (the 5th time) and studied it for a while, After fookin about for an eternity it became obvious that the exhaust was bent wrong/too short!! So I machined an couple of ½” spacers to fit in between the flanges to make it a little longer, it now sits pretty much where it should, although I have noticed when viewed from the rear that the tailpipe tends to lift up when warm and settle back down again once cooled, I’m not sure if this has something to do with the stainless pipe & mild steel flanges heating up at different rates but it is very annoying and has melted the very top edge of my bumper cutout, so to sum up, you get what you pay for

I know there are people on here who have Blueflames fitted and they are obviously happy with them so lets not turn this into a slagging match, these are my experiences only
