Buschur fitment issue
GOOD NEWS: i got my buschur racing catback exhaust on
BAD NEWS: a) i can't get it centered in the cut-out on the bumper b) when i do get it centered it hits the sway bar constantly any ideas
right now it is centered but it hits the sway bar i am only using one of the mounts currently because the bolts it shipped with were not long enough i have to buy more but when i do get the correct bolt i will still only have 2 mounts as opposed to the 3 the stock one used both of these are on the same side of the muffler (passenger) thus pulling my muffler off center of the cut-out if anyone has any idea how i can somehow mount the exhaust to the 3rd mount witch is more drivers side i am all ears

The bolt issue and centering issue were both in my review. I do not have an aftermarket sway bar however. That issue I can't address beyond what's already been told. If you're truly and desparately concerned about the centering you can strap it to the 3rd mount (which is what I did as a temporary fix cuz I'm a lazy bastard), take some sandpaper to the piping and inside of the muffler to keep it from shifting, weld it in place, or weld another hanger on. There are plenty of options. You could always talk to David Buschur too if you have serious concerns or problems. Don't drive around with the muffler touching or too near the bumper though because it WILL melt and fast.
Wish I could help with the sway bar, but that may be part of your centering issue too. I'm assuming you have a progress sway bar on and not the stock. If not, just turn the muffler on the piping until the tip sits properly and hold it in place when you tighten the horseshoe clamp again. Hope that helps.

The only reason I would say not to weld it to the piping is because you won't be able to remove it. It's probably the best option for permanance though. Overall do you like the exhaust? Personally I don't think the sound can be beat. Please post a review from your point of view. It's always good to have another point of reference.

Run a search for "Buschur & dyno" or search Import Tuner's website. Import Tuner dynoed them. Don't take this too personally, but it seems really stupid to dyno an intake and exhaust for an everyday Joe if you ask me. Dyno time is not free unless you have some sort of hookup. Also considering the mild nature of bolt-on mods the results aren't really worth paying to see.

yeah i know, main reason i was askin is because i was wondering if someone had a hookup. I don't, but if i did, i would dyno every mod just to help everyone else out. i also have this wierd obsession with getting the best available or at least the best i can find, without buying them all. i'm not rich either
hmmm import tuner you say,.......thanks
