DCPerformance are pleased to announce that they have become official dealers for the world renowned performance exhaust manufacturers Blueflame. With nearly 1000 models in their exhaust range including exhaust manifolds, de-cat (cat bypass pipes), high flow sports catalytic convertors, downpipes, centre sections and of course backboxes, the Blueflame exhaust range is a welcome addition to the already considerable catalogue of performance exhausts that DCPerformance offer their customers.

DCPerformance have the entire range available through their website at www.dcperformance.co.uk, and in most cases you can even see a photograph of the whole system so you know exactly what to expect to arrive at your door when you order one of the Blueflame exhausts. You can see the range of Blueflame products at http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/cheapest/blueflame.html

Blueflame have been producing exhaust systems for nearly 25 years. Their mission as they state on their website is “to provide cutting edge designed products, utilising the finest quality materials, manufactured to the highest standards, at a competitive price”, and they certainly achieve this. The quality of their products is superb. All exhaust systems and manifolds are made from 304 grade aircraft spec stainless steel to ensure that each exhaust component will last a lifetime; this is backed by their lifetime guarantee (excluding sports cats which have a two year warranty).

The entire range of Blueflame exhausts is designed and built in the UK and they cater for not only the aftermarket exhausts field, but also large OEM productions as well as smaller niche systems. Blueflame’s skilled development team also offer a full bespoke design and build service for one off systems, so if you have a unique design you want for your car, Blueflame can build the system to your specifications.

Blueflame are ISO9001 accredited for quality control which together with their Tier 1 Original Equipment capability and race team experience means there is no question as to their excellence in the performance exhaust arena. This is why Blueflame are approved for producing OEM exhausts for Lotus and have produced exhausts for many of the TVR range.

Each Blueflame exhaust is designed from scratch after careful analysis of the OEM system to ensure the perfect fit. The engine then get some attention to calculate the required gas flow and the ideal exhaust pipe diameters in order to produce an exhaust system which helps the engine breath better increasing power output by ensuring that the gas flow through the performance system is constant and uninterrupted. Blueflame careful design the systems to sounds just right, deep and throaty, yet unobtrusive (no boy racer exhaust here!)

Every system is dyno tested to ensure that it gives performance gains with no additional modifications to the vehicle. That said, the system will help boost power output further with induction improvements and an ECU remap.

So if you are considering swapping your tired exhaust, then look no further than a Blueflame exhaust system. Now that DCPerformance are official Blueflame dealers, there is no better time to upgrade to an exhaust system which offers outstanding quality with impressive power gains, all at very reasonable prices.

hptuners is software used to reflash an ecm – this would be on a ( e 67 ) ecm………
i have the pro version software but it is far too complicated for me to trust myself-
i’m looking for a professional tuner

Making $11.50 an hour as a forklift driver at Dixieline I have to save up for a while to buy performance parts and I have to choose my products carefully. I saved up for a power programmer and that certainly helped my quarter mile times. And, the previous owner had added a Magnaflow exhaust system so I didn’t need to touch that. So, I asked around and it was suggested to me that I look into an aftermarket performance exhaust header. My friend told me that I could expect horsepower gains of anywhere from 10-40 horsepower.

I started doing some research by going to my local auto parts store but they seemed too expensive, I only had about $500 to spend. So, I turned my attention to the internet. I looked at JBA headers and Pacesetter headers. The JBA headers were more expensive then the Pacesetter brand. But I have heard of JBA and not Pacesetter. I had to ask myself if the JBA brand was worth almost double the price.

The JBA headers were stainless steel, so they have that “wow” factor. The base–model Pacesetter headers are just black. Both are mandrel bent and come with all the necessary mounting hardware. JBA comes with a lifetime warranty and Pacesetter only has a 3 year warranty. But my GT already has 78,000 miles, it isn’t going to be around for a lifetime.

The choice was simple and I went for the Pacesetter headers. I spent about $250 with tax and I got free shipping. I installed them myself in about half a day – I am not the best mechanic in the world but the detailed instructions eventually sunk into my head and I got them on. The horsepower gain was immediately apparent and the sound of my engine has never been sweeter. Sometimes I just go out to my car, start it up and rev the motor just to hear the sound.

Anyways, here’s why you shouldn’t buy performance headers because, now I am ripping it up at the local track. I even finally smoked that supercharged Scion that put my GT to shame two months ago. Take that you rice burner!

Seriously I can get a high performance muffler for $80 from Borla while the stock Subaru muffler would cost me $150!!!
Why is that?

what are some good websites to learn about car engines and performance parts that can be installed? i have recently been more and more interested in cars and driving but do not have a lot of knowledge. i want to know what certain performance parts are for and the effects and advantages to having them. i would appreciate any website referances.

I have to admit I am a fan of everything that allows my car to get faster and louder. For ten years I have tried to pimp my car to be the boss of the highway. I am 26 and have been living in San Diego for 20 years now. I think my love of fast cars developed when my father took me with him to see his friend’s Lamborghini. This is the greatest car I have ever seen. To be honest, it was the only one I had seen at the age of 10, but I loved it instantly; the sound, the speed, the coolness automatically transfers to the driver when he enters the car. 17 Years later I am still looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush from my car. And I think now I got it: The new Dieses Exhaust system is responsible for my next step to become the king of the road. The combination of speed and sound reminds me all the time of my experience with the Lamborghini.

So I bought the new JBA Headers yesterday. These headers replace restrictive stock manifolds with precision built exhaust headers that maximize exhaust flow for major increases in horsepower, torque and throttle response. And they include premium mounting hardware for bolt-on installation. That sounds good, doesn?t it? And the description is not the only one that sounds good; my car does as well. I am not sure, if I have mentioned what kind of car I have, so I will do so now: A PT cruiser, which now has 20 more horses under the hood than 2 days before. And seriously I love being the loudest, being the fastest, being the hottest on the road.

Now, I think my dream is coming true; the dream I had in the age of ten. My dream includes a hot blond wife who takes care of me when I need to get a good treatment, two children who I can teachto play baseball and football, and a hot, fast car. Ok honestly, I don’t have a wife. The only woman I sometimes see is my cleaning lady Maria and she is a bit too much woman for just one person, if you know what I mean. So I have no family, but at least my car is still louder and faster than the one of my dream. So I can really say that my dream came true.

how much would master muffler or meineke charge to install my muffler that i have already purchased?

We knew it was forthcoming. And critics are quite surprised to know it would take this long. Still, the Cadillac Escalade ESV supercharger is worth the wait.

The Big 3 Performance has used the supplied technology from supercharger leader Paxton/Vortech to release the much-awaited supercharger system for the Cadillac SUV aficionado. While the supercharger giant knew the 6.2L supercharger system would be in great demand, their product portfolio placed its introduction far off in the future.

Consequently, this ultimately resulted to the Big 3 Performance striking a deal approximately eight months ago to produce the systems in-house and become the first to offer a supercharger system for the 2007 Cadillac sport utilities. The folks at Big 3 Performance are set to etch ?yet another leap forward in the never ending quest for more power.? The supercharger systems are meticulously formulated to complement Cadillac Escalade shock absorbers, engines, cold air intake and other relevant sport utility parts.

The Big 3 Performance released supercharger systems for the 6.2L 2007 Cadillac sport utilities employing trusted Paxton/Vortech supercharger technology. The company?s Cadillac expertise and fabrication skills deliver unmatched performance, gas mileage, drive ability, and OEM quality fit and finish in this new high output supercharger system.

The company?s high output supercharger system focuses on maximum durability and low maintenance while providing an additional 147 horsepower and 122 ft/lbs of torque. The Big 3’s supercharger kit features either the Paxton Novi 1200 or Vortech SQ Series Supercharger. Each kit benefits from their 50-state emission legal status.

Complete with all components and instructions necessary to ensure an uncomplicated installation, Big 3’s supercharger kit truly provides maximum performance without intruding on the comfort or quality of the Cadillac SUV.

The Big 3’s supercharger systems are fully compatible with the factory engine management system and also provide a fuel management upgrade including high capacity premium injectors, boost-a-pump and NGK-TR6 spark plugs. These kits also include Big 3?s exclusive ECM reflash which sets ignition timing and fuel enrichment levels. Each kit is equipped with all of the belts and pulleys necessary for a seamless fit with the factory serpentine system.

To go with the integrated air-to-water dual pass charge cooler, Big 3 has gone a step above when providing their exclusive polished air inlet assembly and supplied fresh air system. With a laundry list of features and Big 3’s attention to detail, they have truly released what seems to be the definitive supercharger system for the Cadillac SUV’s. The innovative system is priced at $6895.

The Big 3 has established a name for their dedication to perfection that has made them highly respected in the industry. The company?s special combination of innovative ideas and ideals has placed them at the vanguard of performance for today’s modern muscle cars. The supercharger system is introduced with high hopes.

The Cadillac Escalade moved to the new GMT900 platform for the 2007 model year. Its introduction was accelerated as sales began slipping. The regular Escalade was again joined by a stretched ESV version and a new EXT pickup truck. The 2007 Escalade was the official vehicle of Super Bowl XL, with MVP Hines Ward being awarded one of the first Escalades built.

The Escalade uses an all-aluminum 6.2 L Vortec V8. This engine includes variable valve timing, a first in a mass-produced non-overhead cam engine. The system used in the Cadillac Escalade adjusts both the intake and exhaust timing between two settings.

The Escalade?s fuel economy is rated at 14 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. A special Platinum ESV model will be introduced this year. Additionally, General Motors Corp.?s Active Fuel Management will come in 2008.
