Q/ HOW LOUD ARE YOUR SYSTEMS?
A/ THIS IS OUR MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTION. EACH SYSTEM IS CAREFULLY DESIGNED WITH THE TARGET USER IN MIND, THEREFORE WE ENGINEER WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE IDEAL TONE AND VOLUME THAT EACH SYSTEM AND SPECIFIC CAR TYPE REQUIRES. THIS PROCESS RELIES ON OUR EXPERIENCE AND THAT OF THE ACTUAL OWNERS THEMSELVES. THE NET RESULT IS A SOUND WHICH IS BALANCED AND APPEALING ACROSS THIS BROAD SPECTRUM OF OPINION.
Q/ WHAT MATERIAL DO YOU USE?
A/ ALL OF OUR SYSTEMS ARE MANUFACTURED FROM 304 GRADE (NON MAGNETIC) STAINLESS STEEL. 304 GRADE STAINLESS STEEL DOES NOT RUST. HOWEVER, OVER THE LIFE OF THE EXHAUST, IMPURITIES WITHIN THE METAL CAN MIGRATE TO THE SURFACE CAUSING MINOR STAINING. THIS CAN BE CLEANED OR BUFFED USING A SUITABLE NON ABRAISIVE METAL POLISH SUCH AS SOLVOL AUTOSOL.
Q/ WHAT POWER GAINS CAN I EXPECT?
A/ AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE THE POWER GAIN FOR EACH VEHICLE IS SPECIFIC TO ITS ENGINE OUTPUT, THE BACK PRESSURE WITHIN THE SYSTEM AND THE PATH THAT THE EXHAUST TAKES ON ITS JOURNEY BENEATH THE CAR. OUR SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED AND ENGINEERED TO OPTIMISE THE GAS FLOW THROUGH THE SYSTEM BY REDUCING BACK PRESSURE AND IMPROVING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE GAS FLOW BY USING FREE FLOW SILENCERS, INCREASED DIAMETER TUBE AND MANDREL FORMED BENDS. THENET EFFECT IS LESS ENERGY DRIVING THE GASES THROUGH THE SYSTEM WHICH RESULTS IN MORE AT THE CRANK. TYPICAL POWER GAINS ON A NORMALLY ASPIRATED CAR VARY BETWEEN 8 - 15BHP #1. TYPICAL POWER GAINS ON A TURBO CHARGED CAR VARY BETWEEN 15 - 40BHP #2.
#1 - MINI COOPER S FULL SYSTEM.
#2 - SUBARU IMPREZA TURBO FULL SYSTEM.
Q/ DOES MY BLUEFLAME HAVE A GUARANTEE?
A/ BLUE FLAME PERFORMANCE OFFER A LIFETIME GUARANTEE ON ALL OF OUR SYSTEMS TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER. OUR GUARANTEE COVERS BREAKAGE OR MATERIAL FAILURE THROUGH NORMAL USAGE. OUR HIGH PERFORMANCE CATALYTIC CONVERTORS ARE COVERED FOR 2 YEARS OR 50000 MILES. MODIFICATION TO THE CARS FUEL MAP MAY RENDER THE CAT WARRANTY VOID, PLEASE ASK FOR DETAILS.
Q/ WILL ANY MODIFICATIONS BE REQUIRED TO MY VEHICLE IN ORDER TO FIT A BLUE FLAME SYSTEM?
A/ ALL OF OUR SYSTEMS ARE DESIGNED WITH EASE OF FIT IN MIND, THEREFORE YOUR VEHICLE WILL NOT REQUIRE ANY MODIFICATION IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE FITTED TO YOUR VEHICLE. HOWEVER, ON CERTAIN MODELS OUR DESIGNS INCORPORATE THE USE OF AN ALTERNATIVE REAR VALENCE. PLEASE ASK FOR DETAILS.
Q/WHO DO YOU RECOMEND TO INSTALL YOUR SYSTEMS?
A/ ALL OF THE BLUE FLAME SYSTEMS ARE THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED, WITH CONSIDERATION GIVEN TO THE FITTER. WHILST IT IS POSSIBLE TO FIT OUR EXHAUSTS DIY WE RECOMEND THAT A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN IS APPOINTED TO COMPLETE THE TASK AND TEST THE SYSTEM FOR YOU, OUR DEALER LIST IS CONTINUALLY UPDATED WITH APPROVED CENTRES WHERE THIS CAN BE CARRIED OUT. ALTERNATIVELY WE CAN INSTALL THE SYSTEM HERE AT BLUE FLAME SHOULD YOU WISH. (PLEASE CALL FOR A QUOTATION.)
Q/ DO BLUE FLAME SYSTEMS REQUIRE ANY MAINTENANCE?
A/ YOUR BLUE FLAME SYSTEM COMES WITH A LIFETIME GUARANTEE AND AS SUCH IT WILL REQUIRE NO MAINTENANCE ONCE INSTALLED, HOWEVER, WE RECOMEND THAT ALL OF THE EXHAUST MOUNTS AND RUBBERS ARE CHECKED EVERY 12 MONTHS TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE SERVICABLE, THIS WILL ENSURE THAT NO UNDUE STRAIN IS PLACED ON THE SYSTEM.
