Default bluflame exhausts.

hi guys, am looking at a bleflame exhaust and decat for my focus RS. ive never seen them on a car before but i know they make excellent quality zorsts for bikes. what are these like compared to the mongoose system? they seem to be a bit cheaper which is very appealing to me. is there a difference in diameter of the zorst? have any tests been done in magazines recently with regards to power increases? also if any body knows where i can get a mongoose system for the best price please let me know?

thanks in advance.
Rob.

Pretty sure blueflame and mongoose are one and the same.

hahaha me tight!!!??? now your a fine one talking. where shall i start, no super unleaded for the RS, budget tyres for the focus and the escort. . . and the list goes on and on. why pay double for something that prob aint gonna be any different. ive seen the lovely exhausts they do fr bikes, if they carry that quality through then i will be happy.

Blueflame definitely do not make them for Mongoose/Collins any more!

The Blueflame I recently bought for my missus' Integra Type-R fits like a treat and sounds superb. Can't fault it.

Ian, they did till a while ago tho mate, what I was trying to get over, was the fact that the same item cost twice as much under the mongoose brand name.

And yet people where saying buy the Mongoose as it's better quality.

Ahh I see. Yes indeed, I saved myself money on her Blueflame over a Mongoose. Funny setup there. I know they used to make em for Collins but when I asked the sales manager there (Nigel) he sort of coughed and hinted that they were "no longer in bed together"!!

Be interested to know what went on!!

i priced up the mongoose systems with a few websites and they were as much sa £605 with a decat. i got the bluflame for £75 with delivery and that wsa with a decat. im sorry, but the price is nearly half and im sure the quality is going to be there. i will let u all know if its any god or not.
