Just perusing the classifieds as one does and I saw a lovely pair (oo-er) of pipes, can anyone enlighten me as to the make/cost/loudness etc. I currently have the Power cans which are extremely loud.

Many thanks

Stevo

edit - not sure what happened to the title...think it's user error and my faulty fingers!

The pipes are the same as mine, Blueflame. Way better than the standard pipes and quieter than the power pipes. I like them. Bought mine about 3 years ago, cost was about the same as the other aftermarket pipes iirc.

This is the blueflame exhaust. I have one fitted to my car. My car can also be seen demonstrating it on youtube. It is only slightly louder than standard but you get the pops and bangs. I like it because you do here the engine and not noise. Also you can talk to your passenger without shouting.

I don't think they sell them anymore but you could try and see if they have any hidden away.

Just checked they do still sell it although the price has shot up since I got mine. !!

Thanks both will look into them...I'd rather keep what I have as I love the noise but am sure it's making me deaf (wimp I know), plus I love the look and angle of the BF pipes.

OatSy, nice clip thanks.

No the hanger position and orientation is different for the Tam.

Anyways... Power cans rule if not a little loud and anti-social!

I agree, just love the appearance/angle of the BlueFlame...and was suffering from hearing issues but after a spirited drive earlier can confirm that seems to be ok now smile

Gave a friend a lift and he described the sound as being an angry noise hehe
