There NOT the same there BETTER! They have bolt on flanges instead of slide on, so the fit properly!

they could not make them the same as it would infringe the copyrights.

so they had to put flanges on the systems.

good exhausts though.

Blueflame was my 2nd choice after my Magnex.
Personally I wanted Magnex as I didn't want a really loud exhaust for boy racer reasons and also few people have had probs on trackdays for noise levels. I would say the noise level on mine is perfect
The other reason for wanting the Magnex was for looks and fit. The magnex follows the same route as the standard exhaust so splits into two boxes then back into one. This means the exhaust fits a lot higher and you get better ground clearance plus I always hated the way you could see the back box on Mongooses from the rear view.
The only prob is the price is around £500 where as the blue flame can be picked up on ebay for £295 IIRC so you can't go wrong

IMO You can't beat the old style Magnex exhaust trim either
