Anyone got one of them? Any good?

I have a Powerflow on my car at the minute, but pretty sure it's just a CAT back.

Isnt the 3" blueflame one supposed to be the best for the 1.8 20v???

That one is only 2.5" I think

Anyone got a link?

Search for Blueflame mate, been covered loads of times. Basically decat is crap on the Cupra, go to Blueflames website, get the number and call them (as you cant order from the website). Expect to pay around £320 for a 3" 200cell downpipe and CAT.

£26, thats how much i'd have if i had a pound each time this was posted.

Good for you.

no seriously mate they are poor quality and poor fitment, require modification to fit and also have heard loads of stories about them cracking. They seem cheap but a good local exhaust place could easily make you one of them at around the same cost.

Thanks matey, a reply I was looking for!

See your from the North East. Am from Washington, keep your eyes peeled for me

Aye no bother mate try going to powerflow in newcastle they could make you one up, i take it you already have an exhaust system to matt it too.

 

[CupraElliott]

Yeah, I have a Powerflow already on, need to check it out, think its just a CAT back.

Think al try them or AAS, there work is absolutely top notch!

Thanks for your help.

Also, your car will sound crap with a decat.

and you'll have to take it off every year for its mot

just get a blueflame mate , they are quite cheap , the sports cat and downpipe is around £250 i think , you will notice a bit more torque as well , saves changing it every time you have it mot'd as well

I had one of the cheap one's off ebay on my old cupra. Just need to cut end section of pipe off and rotate it 45 degrees so that sensor fits. Works ok as a temporary measure, and had no problem with fitment.
Notced quicker turbo spool up, but caused turbo to start smoking after few thousand miles, and caused engine fault code occasionally.

Think decat and n75j, was too much for poor k03 !

Whats yours like? Worth the money? Noticeable power increase?

Boosts quicker and harder and feels less 'held back' at higher speeds. When flooring it in 1st gear the wheels loose grip when you get to full boost too.
