MGF performance Exhaust

Post by btx5mg » Sun Apr 19, 2009 1:57 pm

Hi new member Pete from bucks. i have started to MOD my 97 MGF VVC, so far 160 throttle body, ram air itg induction , performance leads and plugs etc. but now i am not sure what performance exhaust to go for. i am leaning towards. either the Pipedream, or the blue flame, they look very similar or maybe even a powerflow but ive been told they are not as good, as blue flame. Anyone out there had one fitted.Many thanks Pete

I have a TT MK2 and a MK3..... :P :P :P

Plenty of exhaust choices out there. If I didn't have the TT's, then I'd go for a Scorpion, as it looks fab!

Hi Pete,

welcome to the Register

I'm running a Blue Flame on my Trophy and I'm very pleased with it, the fit and build quaitly are excellent and service is good too, they normally offer a Decat pipe too but thats not Mot friendly, in addition i'm also running a K&N 57i kit with it. The note of the exhaust gives a pleasing roar around 4000 rpm, I noticed a increase of power on the move again when the engine comes on cam and it slips from 50 - 90 with little effort, and under normal driving it gives the F the sporty sound that should be expected from a british sports car. When shopping around Blue flame where one of the few manufactures to state an atcual BHP gain instead of a % - see their website ( if you already haven't ).

If you want outright performance it might worth checking out a Miltek for noise and power, they give more of a wrasp. I beleive Brown and Gammons stock them.

Andy :D

Thanks for that Andy, i have seen the blue flame on a site Camskill Performance, selling for £290 inc Vat,that sounds quite good i think. My car seems quicker since i had the 160 throttle body fitted,and sounds good the ITG cold ram air filtter on it. I am also thinking about fitting side air vent extensions, one for it to look a tad more aggresive, plus this should help with forcing more cold air into the ITG filtter so i am told, so a good performance exhuast should give better sound and a bit more punch. I am looking forword to going along to my first meet at abingdon on the 3rd so i can see some more F/TF and get a few ideas. I have been running MG ZEDS of all types since 2001, and at the moment have an 56 reg ZT Turbo, as my daily drive, but this is my first F so may need a little help in knowing whats what.. Thanks once more Pete

Having had a Blueflame for four years on the F, I now have the Daytona on my TF, without doubt.....The Daytona.

Nothing wrong with the Blueflame at all, just the note from the Daytona get's the vote.

Ah, well only the TT mk2 is fitted, and the mk3 is sitting in the garage ready to be modified! Not sure when i will get round to it though, but when I do you will soon know about it! :twisted:

Correct Andy, but the Blueflame with the same 4-2-1 manifold I'm running now (the Piper from Mike) also had good low down torque.
