http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLUEFLAME-STAINLES...7QQcmdZViewItem

my curent exhaust has rusted so much I poked it the other day and my finger went straight through.

So I've found this on ebay and I'm wondering, will it sound nice on my coupe or will it be a bit tinny? I'm only questioning it because itjsut seems too cheap.

Also, it looks almost identical to the 'supersprint' one I've jsut taken off... which sadly want stainless steel.

thoughts?

Yes, Blueflame exhausts are very good, so you won't go wrong by buying one.

Also though, if you want to pm me, coupedave or cowboy, we have the number of an excellent exhaust bloke in Anglesey that will custom make one for you smile

That's nice, but if I wanted a custom one I'd make it myself =3 I quite like welding stainless. But more importantly I want something cheap and quick that's not going to rust. I just don't want something so cheap that it makes the car sound like an old nova or a halfords tuned saxo. I think I'll buy that then, I cant find a better price.

No matter what you do,the 5 pot 20v will NEVER sound like a nova or saxo.

Once you get that exhaust on your only problem will be remembering to put your N/S window up when you park. cloud9

All I'll say is that my old custom system cost a lot less than that blueflame you've seen!

At the time, mine cost less than that Blueflame one and it was made to the noise spec I wanted, as well as being able to keep the original look of the slash cut tail pipe end.
Mine certainly doesn't sound like a Nova or Saxo.

Hmm... supose it is tempting... or would be had i not been so head strong and already ordered the BF one =/ oopse.

I think I'll be happier with the blue flame though, although if I need a custome exhaust making I know I can find one.

Thanks anyway
