Basically, all 3" full turboback exhausts will yield equal increases in performance. Maybe I am just lazy, but I want to order the whole exhaust from one company at one time and be done with it. I really don't want to have to peice a system together from various vendors. Plus I am looking for the most cost effective solution without sacrificing quality. Right now I think that I will be going with Bushar since they seem to have everything that I am looking for. Namely quality, fitment, and best price that I have seen on the whole system.

every car is off on the tolerances, it all depends on how your brackets are worn, how the car was assembled and how it's been treated. Is your car lowered? If so, your car has probably been flexing much more than a non lowered car... furthermore, it all depends on the cars that the companies fitted it for. Tolerances are tight, and if it doesn't fit most likely the worst you'd have to do is bend a bracket.

I guess what I'm trying to say is it's hard to make the "perfect" fit for every car... so I'm a believer in just picking a reputable brand and trying it. If it doesn't fit, then go from there.

Buschur's TBE will give a good bit of power and it is light and cheap. This is good. I have heard about a lot of fitment issues though. Plus if you ask me, they look like $hit. It looks like someone made it at home in their garage. I have the DC dp/tp (awesome) and HKS 30th anniversary cat back (very awesome). Fitment was great, looks great, sounds great, and added a good bit of power and way less turbo lag.
