Hi there

I have thought about buying the TBE from blueflame for my LCR, but I'm a bit worried about the incar noise, as I drive 85km a day(highway).

What can I expect from blueflame?

on throttle sounds nice and deep but on cruise it is as quiet as standard
hope this helps;)

What about slight throttle on ex. highway, is there a drooning sound? I dont mind noise in high revs etc.

But I dont want a "continious" "Woooooorp" sound all day long as those freaking boyscout racers

ive had blueflame on a few cars ive owned and compared to other systems they tend to be not much louder than oem exhaust my system is resonated (quieter) non resonated is louder.
trust me you will like the results they sound really nice and nowhere near boyracer style.
im married 36 with a 3yr old.;)

But blueflame dont seem to deliver a resonated? I cant choose it as an option.
 
any system that you get from the Turbo back (compared to cat back) is going to make more of a noise when you give it some poke and to a degree you are going to get more of a drone at a steady higher speed. It won't be unbarable put it's still going to be there. Don't forgot the bore size of the BF is bigger too at 3" as opposed to 2.75" as per a Miltek for eg which will make more of a difference too. My mate who has a miltek non res and pipewerx downpipe is definately louder, it sounds good but louder.

Hmm... I guess the new BF will have their 100 cell race cat, so I might go for a resonated, I just also want some quicker spool up, guess I cant get both worlds... quiet AND power gains...

To be honest, I just want quciker turbo spool up and better flow to get the heat out... not really interested in the "noise"...

Doesn't BF go down to 2.75" in the mid-section too?
