Why don't you simply get a new Supersprint? You seem to love it... As I do

I've been following the Blueflame GB, but unsure as to what is happening there.. I've seen this Blueflame on Ebay, direct from Blueflame. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FIAT-COUPE-TURBO-2...1QQcmdZViewItemNot sure about 'decatting' the car, however, is it possible to have cat back with the system advertised? Also, it mentions a 4" tip, does anybody have a close up picture of how this acutally looks on the car please?

If you don't want more noise then you will have to keep the cat, advisable anyway. I would check where the SS is blowing. It comes in two peices and is normally the middle pipe which is less expensive that the rear box. The middle only costs £90 from hereJohn

..how long did it take to make up? I take it they don't have an off-the-shelf solution. My car was in and out the same day.They dont have an off the shelf solution for the coupe. But I will strongly recommend these guys

vote for powerflow, kingswinford here. Tooke them about 2 hours to do from when i drove it in there. They make it up for your car on scene and i specified that i wanted it fairly quiet.
its a 2 box design however the boxes are a fair bit smaller that standards. Got a nice rumble from at low revs but not too crazy when you put your foot down. no different on the motorway.
They have a limited selection of tail pipes at any one time. I had a choice from about 12 and went for a fairly smallish one.
Cost me £280 which they quoted me over the phone. The kingswinford branch are pretty good but i've also heard good things about the one in stafford who do powerflow aswell.

Thanks for the responses guys! I'm booked in for a Powerflow exhaust at Britannia Tyres, Derby, tomorrow - The guy who makes them seemed very clued up on the phone, knew the Coupe, what was on as standard and was also familiar with the Supersprint system I'm runnning now.. so fingers crossed I get a good fit. I was going to go to Kingswinford, but my exhaust has completely given up now ( sounds ), and I want to make sure that no bits drop off and smash into the car behind me....I was quite concerned driving down from the NE today I'll post up the results tomorrow when the job is done...

Ok, had the exhaust fitted for a day now and I'm very impressed. The Sound is very similar to the Supersprint (which I'm pleased about), you could argue that the Powerflow is slightly more 'bassy' below 3500RPM, but it's very nice and non obtrusive. At motorway speeds there is no drone which is a good job as that's where most of my miles come from. I chose the large oval slash tip, it complements the car well and doesn't look like it belongs on a bus. I also had 2 small boxes fitted. The overall service was excellent, the cost at £320 is a little more expensive than some people have paid, but having the convenience of a garage on your door is worth a bit more in my opinion. I need to nip back in and get a slight adjustment on the position, you can see that on the first pic it is slightly too far to the right, I think it's just settling in as it was spot on before leaving the garage. I also have a very slight bumper melt but that was caused by the SuperSprint being on it's last legs, but fortunately it's only minor and wont take a lot of effort to tidy back up.

looks good timC. glad you r happy with it. wish i'd had the option of that tailpipe as mines a similar size but a rounded square shape but it was the best they had at the time.

I am also having a sports cat (i asked 100 or 200 cell, they said 175!! as they have some emmission issues with 100cell sports cat) from them. All incl £420. not bad !! They are very nice people there. A fine examples of what 'customer service' should really be like ! I have always been goin there for my tyres and wheels...
