ways to quiet down buschur exhaust without losing too much power
Just spoke with Nick from buschur racing,who was a very nice and knowledgeable person. I had called to ask about a few ways to quiet down my magnaflow exhaust system.He told me about resonators and perhaps a high flow cat. Currently my car has a test pipe and honestly I love the response that it has given me and would prefer to not loose all the gain from it. Has anyone attempted to quiet this exhaust down with good results?

I think the only step you can take is messing with the test pipe... either cat, high flow cat, or your best bet for no power loss is resonated test pipe. I know Road Race Engineering sells a test pipe that looks like a cat with a thermal blanket in it... not sure if that'll help absorb some noise... but it does give it a thump sound instead of ringing when tapped.

What size resonator did you use? The 12" or the 18"? I'm thinking of having an 18" resonator welded into my Cobb exhaust. I have a testpipe and an HFC and I noticed only a marginal drop in sound level switching from a testpipe to HFC. I'm hoping the resonator can net me a least few dB drop (especially in the low frequencies) from where I'm at now.

I had a friend with a Buschur exhaust in his VIII, and he loved the power, did not want to lose any either. He really thought outside the box, got some dynamat type stuff (home depot version), lined the trunk and the area behind the backseat. It quieted down his car a ton. It was cool, because it could still be loud outside, but was great inside.
Good luck to you.

i have the same exhaust (crossflow?)with a mini-muffler test pipe from UR. Its tolerable at idle and when you're light on the gas, but when you step on its still loud as hell.
Was considering a resonator too, but from what i've heard it won't make alot of difference, and am still looking looking for a way to quiet it down just like you are
