I have a Blueflame turbo back system on my Fabia. Can't fault it at all! Quality piece of kit - recommended.

if you have a trolly jack, axle stands, spanner and junior hack saw do it yourself!

 

[superstar151082]

Yeah i'll do mine my self, it will be easy!! the 4 nuts holding the dp are tricky to get off but it would be worth doing your self.....

 

[J@mes]

changing the DP is bloody awkward!

you 100% need the car in the air for this... i would certainly not attempt it on axle stands! trust me!

 

[superstar151082]

I took my dp off just with the front of the car on those little ramps, your right james it took nearly an hour just to get it undone!!!

 

[J@mes]

well in that case well done ... its just i know too well how much of a pig it is!... im on my 3rd DP!!!!!


EDIT: just realised yours is a cupra and thus a k03 turbo... i think* they are a LOT easier to do, because the bend in the DP isnt as bad at all!

tho i may be wrong!

 

[superstar151082]

how come james you seem to go through everything so much faster than everyone else!!!

My uncle has an e46 me, WHAT a car!!! the only **** thing about it is the smg gearbox it changes to slow, even when it's set on the quickest change....

 

[J@mes]

i had 2 of the first design DPs and they snapped at the same weld so BF redesigned the DP! new one has been fine touch wood!

as for the SMG gearbox... its quicker than the manual 6 speed... CSLs ONLY came with SMG too!

 

[superstar151082]

i'm 99% sure the manual is faster than the smg??? I was told anyway went i went with my uncle bmw reakon 4.8 for the manual and 5.2 for the smg!!
This was what i was told..... How true it is i'm not sure. I do know they will say anything to get a sale!!!!!

 

[J@mes]

yea they will!

put it this way lol... if the manual was quicker the CSL would have had it! (CSL is SMG ONLY!)

 

[superstar151082]

but has it been set up different??

 

[J@mes]

no idea! should imagine so tho

again back to topic!

 

[badlydrawnbanan]

Ahh go on then stick me down for a cat back system

 

[tris]

Well done Mark

Quick Q. As the power gain from a full turbo back system is relatively small I assume that performance wise there is no effect from fitting the cat back, it's simply about the look and sound?

How much difference in the sound is there between the two?

 

[J@mes]

a big difference! the cat back only makes a SLIGHT sound difference
