Blue Flame Shark Nose Cans

[TVRAndyB]

Been looking at these as a possible change - anybody any experience of them and are they really worth spending money on?

I have them on my Tuscan. To be honest haven't noticed a great deal of difference in sound but think they look better.

Hi TVRCHIM
I also have a reflex charcoal Tuscan convertible and was thinking of changing cans to blue flame. Looks good in that pic, do you have any from directly behind and a side on shot??

Cheers

Hi IM,
Photos from back and side.

Hi again

Many thanks for that!! Love the side shot, looks a lot neater, goes really well with the wheels.

Cheers again, guess I'll have to wait to see what Santa brings, breakfast in bed for the misses I think!!

Thanks for the photos and feedback.
The looks alone I think have convinced me so a bit like Ironman - roll on Chrimbo!

Out of interest what does a set cost as can't find any info on their website? Had a set if stainless ones recently fitted, but those look superb so could be tempted to change!

Hi Salmon,
I spotted a brand new pair on eBay and that's what sparked my interest. I bought them last night for £400 which seemed a steal to me as I believe they are well over £500 normally.
I had a look round the web before I did buy them but a bit like you, couldn't seem to find any others for sale anywhere.
Might be worth contacting BlueFlame direct as it may be that they could manufacture to order.
Best of luck in your search.

Am I not right in saying blue flame went bump?

I read something about this on another forum, closing down with "bankruptcy" and then re-opening with a very similar name and a nearby location.

Personally, having dealt with them (buying motorcycle exhaust) I can say I have no qualms with the product but the customer service and the people in charge were awful. They sent the wrong bits, twice, then refused to acknowledge they'd done it. In the end I had to go to another show just so I could see them on the trade stand to get it sorted. I even saw them another time at a show and asked if I could by another connecting pipe and was told flat out NO. Not a hint of charm or grace amongst them.

If they have gone bust it wouldn't surprise me in the least. Personally I would never by from them again even though the product is good.

blue flame don't make the tuscan cans anymore, i phoned a couple of weeks ago

i picked up a secondhand set off ebay, i'm off to get them put on this afternoon

[TVRAndyB]

Piquet,
hope you're going to post a 'piccie' so we can see how they look!

[piquet]

i'll get some photos at the weekend as it was dark by the time i got home

first impressions, they sound great, not as harsh as the carbon cans, less top end treble, more low down bass. On tick over they're the same but when you press the fun pedal they really sound great
