cat back blueflame/milltek/scorpion?
« on: 25 November 2011, 17:33 »
anyone had any experience with either blue flame or scorpion systems?

thinking about a cat back system and probably going for a milltek but the scorpion and blue flame ones look great too but I'm not sure if they're as good as the milltek.

im struggling to find any decent pictures of the scorpion one and the manufacturer hasn't replied to me yet. blue flame sent me some photos and it does look a good system but has anyone got any experience with it?

loudness/fitment and finish etc?

thanks

From what I've seen the Milltek is the better piece of kit but Im not overly impressed by the quality I've seen of them.  Save the money up and buy yourself the Akrapovic system, nearly 3 times more expensive but looks better than anything I've seen on a car before.

the akrapovic is stupid money for a cat back exhaust.

I've always used akra on my race bikes but for a road car exhaust they're far too expensive. can get a full turbo back exhaust cheaper than their cat back

you can get the akrapovic tail pipes to fit the OEM exhaust so that could be worth considering though

Just cut the cat out altogether and get a straight-through system, Save yourself £1000,

Don't want to do any irreversable mods yet as car is only 2 Months old so don't want to screw warranty up. Cat back won't affect it
