Default Blue Flame Evo 3 legal twin port Report

Ok I have been running with this exhaust for some time now.

Noise is fantastic and you can have as much or as little as you want, the exhaust has 2 ports. the top port is larger and contains a complete baffle the bottom port just contains a plug.

Above is the legal Setup and still sounds streets better than the origional.

you can remove both, only top, only bottom, or both in = 4 different levels of sound. (i Run with both out until i know there is a roadside checkpoint then i put them in) 2 circlips is all that holds them in place, all you need is a small pair of circlip pliers (got mine from halfords).

Now as to performance gains It definately feels like it pulls stronger between 3000 to 7000 revs (but i have no proof of this just feels it) Blue Flame quote a power output gain with the pipe but i can't see the dyno chart on their website.

I have heard complaints about discolouration by someone (can't remeber who.

Having been a welder in my early years YOU will get discolouration when welding Stainless (yes the end caps and ports are stainless) this appears brown like rust but is purely oxidisation from welding / heat.

Just look at your downpipe same thing.

being titanium it is very thin walled and thus can wobble about as it does not have the rigidity of a thick walled stainless exhaust (but is at least 1/3 the weight of the origional, and is rubber mounted.

some 1500 miles since fitting and i see no problems so far, believe me I have covered some extreemly bumpy B roads during those miles.

As to customer service I have no experience of this but one guy says they were good even to the point of offering full refunds and suzie650 has had a recent good dealing with them.

All in all I really am Glad I chose the way i did (having compared the sound to many others) Mine of course is the best :P :P
