Blueflame 100 cell cat

[Robbie C]

Just been on the phone to Blueflame to get a quote for a DP and cat for my Cupra and when I asked if they still sold the 100 cell cats I was told he could make one up with this if I requested it.

I'm sure I read a thread a while back about some people having issues with engine lights and MOT emission failures with these so just wondering what people's advice would be?

Would you realistically notice any difference between the two versions?

So my question is; stick for the 200 or go for the 100 cell version?

i always though it was the leons that had some problems with the 100cel

I personally haven't heard of any issues on the ibiza's...but I suppose there must have been some complains for them to stop producing them.

My bf 100 cell was one of the first ones made and I've not had any problems over the last few years.

I'd say go for the 100 cell

i swear blueflame make stuff up, i rang them a couple of days ago to get a price for a cat, and they told me there all 100cell cats, and that i could request a 200cell one if requried.

Think i'm gna go with the 200cell cat as i have heard of a couple of instances of people failing MOT's with the 100cell cats on an ibiza, infact my last car had a sports cat and struggled to get through emissions tests.

lol that wouldn't suprise me, their customer service is pap from my experiences.

i would go 200 cell if i was you, there is very little difference from a performance point of view but should be less likely to give issues later on.

They told me on the phone recently that they could make me one up, but when i was actually passed to someone to make payment etc they told me that i had been informed wrongly and 100cell was no longer available as they don't buy in the 100cell cat elements anymore. That said, i'm well happy with my 200cell. (no lights and also just sailed through MOT)

whats the price on a 200cell cat and what size bore is the best to buy???

 

[EZ Tutty]

blueflame quoted me near enough £350 including VAT and Postage for a 200cell cat with 3inch downpipe.

 

[big eck]

fookin ell, thats a lot of dosh, you can have a remap for that lol

Does it make that much of a difference to performance???

It bloody should do at that price tho lol

 

[Beaker™]

£318 + £10 delivery. Makes a good difference yes, but would opt for remap 1st.

All you have to do is go for a nice blast before then make the garage do the emission test first.

It's a sports CAT it only works when it's nice and hot then you will fly through the emissions test.

I have CC 1 the now so would I need to have the car mapped again???

100 cell it is then, although with the Christmas break I won't be able to get one until the end of Jan

Cheers for the input

Blueflame don't do them anymore.

Seems like everyone's being told a different story every time they ring up. I'll try and get a definitive answer from Nigel in the New Year.

Ive had a Blue Flame 100 cell cat on for ages, no problems at all.

Nigel told me yes to 100cell, but when i was actually passed to sales/production i was told no.
