They sounds pretty nice. Use to see a fiat coupe around who had one fitted. Totally silent until full chat.. sounded lush!!


apart from the sound benefits it also helps reduce emissions

i've done a forum search and to my surprise there isn't one thread about them..

do you lot know something i dont? should i steer clear?

just wanted some opinions... they do have some bad rep on land rover and mini forums however its all talk from the nay sayers and no proof why it wouldnt work.

thanks!

As Milltek, Piper and Blueflame designed systems specifically for the individual Seat models on SCN's cars, so most tend to stick to these companies.
They also give us everything we need out of exhausts and with Piper and Milltek you get great customer service
Why do you care about emissions?
With the Piper and Milltek 200 CELL race CAT systems you will have no bother with MOT BUT there has been a few casulties with the Blueflame systems.

But it's not proven that the cat was responsible for the MOT failures - could have been other emissions factors on the engine

AAhhh right.......

I'd fogotten about that

That's very unique sounding exhaust.

Are these guys real? Looking at the Golf GTI its made an extra 75 BHP!! The TT made an extra 60 from just an exhaust!?!?!?!

 

[RobDon]

Sounds horrific to me.

Those figures say after being mapped too though, they are fudging the results to try and say it's the exhaust gains.

I read it was mapped, under the ECU heading.

 

[Willie]

Really don't like this, sounds like a washing machine spinning up

Yeah just saw that, cheers. I still dont like the results as they could have done anything to that car, not just changed the exhaust and then still claim it was down to the exhaust.

 

[LEE69]

Only on the self learning skyline did it make 8bhp.

The prioce is crazy to looking at the list you can get a whole system for the price of this back box, well, plus a fiver.

Marketing at it's best

Yeah you could say that, them comparisons aren't worth the paper there printed on

 

[Neg.]

whats worrying me is that they need the shite comparisons to sell the damn things!

 

[m0rk]

I wonder if all the mpg claims are made because people are too scared to touch the throttle. Sounds rediculous

 

[big eck]

I sounds horrid imo

Is it possible to mismatch systems like the piper and blueflame without having to modify any parts to fit properly???

 

[jamiebennett81]

thats what I thought

sounds very tractorish on tick over
