Promoting the Blue Flame Exhaust

Finally I got the chance to take pics of the Blue Flame Exhaust on my Mini S. I am satisfied from the start on this amazing Exhaust system. It is a catback with split dual exhaust tips and it comes with resonators for those who do not want loud noise coming from it. I recommend this system to everyone who wants extra power, nice tone, and of course an attractive end look to your Mini S after installation. If interested contact David Kassar at Kass Motorsports (407) 422-4700 and tell him Oscar Almonte referred you to him and he will provide you with excellent service that only he knows. Pics of undercarriage and sound clips coming soon

Blue Flame is a strong performer in the performance motorcycle world. How much?

About 950 bucks with the taxes included. I got the exhaust system installed at Downtown Mini in Orlando which has an awesome staff. Install time about 1.5 to 2 hours. With installation it should come to around 1,100 bucks

I was just talking to Riad about this system today(David was out), then I see it posted here. I'm seriously considering this exhaust for my Jet Black MINI.
Poderes1, please post the sound clip.

Hey Wrks, are you checkin' this out?

I'm sorry, I know you like your exhuast system & I'm sure it sounds neat, but please it's a MINI not a 57 Chevy what's up with the twice pipes look MINI'S should have one pipe to the left or right or two right down the middle the way the GODS made them. Enjoy & I already know I'm a jerk

I've got one and I love it... it helps that I bought David's black Mini from him a couple months ago when he bought his new white one! You might see the dual tips peeking out from the rear in a few of the pics I posted here:

I can probably make an audio recording of it next week... I know David posted a video clip that gives you an idea of the sound, maybe I can dig that up too.

Actually it would be rare to see a classic with a double down the middle.....they mainly had a single down the middle (if it wasnt on the left/right). Right?

I do agree though now that i look at it. It's a bit too tuner for my taste

Thanks for taking the time to post some photographs! If you need assistance with recording sound clips of the exhaust, please let me or any of the other forum members know - I'd love to hear it!

David emailed me a audio/video clip yesterday, but I have no idea how to post it.
Forum Mods help please. I need audio/visual aid!

You need to find a place to host it. You can host videos in your NAM gallery now. After that you just post the link to where it is in your nam gallery

I tried to upload it to my gallery, but nothing happened.

EDIT: I think the file is too big to upload here. 24.7MB

Was it the one with the blue convertible zipping by his shop? That's the one I have as well. I also have one clip he shot from inside the car while driving... I can probably post that as well. I might stop by my office today (I'm off - woohoo!) and I'll grab the minidisc recorder while I'm there... I'll try to get some quality recordings made. Hopefully I'll have some stuff posted by tonight.

To post your own, like others have said, you need access to your own webspace somewhere. You upload them there, then in your post here just type a link to that file's remote location. Someone mentioned NAM's gallery already, and if it accepts video clips you should be set. I'd assume there's some sort of Help link on posting the the NAM gallery, but it should be pretty easy to figure out.

Are there any pictures of this system from under or off the car? What is the diameter of the pipe, post CAT and post Y?

I pulled up on a PW/B MCS the other day with this exhaust. It is very noticeable from the center exit config...

However, I don't think he had the pulley yet

The black skirt at the very bottom of the bumper is what gets changed. I've heard Minvader's and it has a nice deep sound to it, reminds me of a stock vette muffler in tone at idle.
