In fairness this guy claims it's What he's "been told".
Take the advice from the people that have bought and used them  
If it's genuine Blueflame, I'm confident you'll be impressed with it.

I've been told by a Blue Flame owner, but that could for all i know be one guy who had a bad one, or who bought a knackered 2nd hand one.
I didn't say don't buy one, just passing on information

I fitted a custom made blue flame for an evo4
It was a shocking fit, bracket hitting the sump, hangers rubbing on the prop shaft.
Quality of the exhaust was excellent, nice welds, quality metal, but the measurements they had done were pish.

Blue flame, were in the past reputed to be one of the best exhausts one could buy (in the Corsa scene at least). Everyone was desperate for one.
I had a 6x4 on my GSi many moons ago, couldn't fault it.

I had the 6x4 cat back system on my corsa and it was brilliant. It sat a bit far under the bumper for my liking though, so i got it modified slightly, so it eventually looked like this:

lol, blueflame make Mongoose exhausts, Collins sell them
Seen as though my mate is a manager in Blueflame and actually makes them, i'd say that counts for more than a paragraph copied and pasted from Collins website
