Buschur Quiet vs. ETS dual catback

Anyone heard both? Which is quieter inside the car? I saw some decibel charts for the ETS on the outside of the car which suggested it was just barely louder than stock, but I haven't heard anything about the sound in the car.

I am looking for something that sounds good, a little louder than stock but no drone on the highway. Do both of these meet that criteria?

Are you just looking for a catback or are you willing to go the whole way?

If you are, I would highly recommend the UR dual exit exhaust. Get that from the o2/housing back. BUT get the mini-muffler test-pipe, that'll make your car much louder than stock, but not to the point where it grabs any "unwanted" attention

Thanks, I'm still debating how far I want to go. I want to go full turboback, but I will be carrying a newborn and kids and don't want to damage their hearing long term. If I could find something with a nice rumble and power increase (along with stg 2 tune), but without really high decibel levels and lots of drone, I'd be pleased.

Ets is louder than stock. It drones at 60 but quiets down above that.

with the mini-muffler test pipe, you won't damage their hearing at all. Trust me, compared to all of my friend's EVOs, I'm the most quiet one. You'll love the exhaust note and tone, it's not raspy and you'll gain IMMENSE power (since it's a X)

Thanks guys. It seems from these responses that the Buschur quiet is quieter than the ETS. Good to know...

I just installed the ETS V2 Cat-back last weekend. Sounds great. It is definitely loud but not too loud. It is definitely loud inside the car as well, especially at high RPMs. It is making the interior of my car rattle quite a bit though. I think part of the exhaust must be touching something underneath and causing it to reverberate through the car. Has anyone else ever had this problem when installing their exhaust?

I can't really speak for the Buschur exhaust system, but we have 2 versions, the Version 1 (dual 2.5") is quite a bit louder then our v2 (dual 3.0") The v2 has a deeper tone that we have received a ton of positive feedback on. We have a couple videos on youtube, but it's really hard to get good sound quality from youtube.

If you are trying to make the exhaust quiter, we can also add a resonator for an additional $100.00

The V2 has a deep note, where the V1 has a higher pitch note. I'm wondering the same thing, which users are refering to the V1 and which are refering to the v2.

Can you fill me in on what you think is the issue with this? I have been considering the v2 and just recently started seeing these posts about the rattle.

Thanks
