so do you have injectors with that afc? otherwise you might as well have a flash, which is what the flash guru here will tell you.

 

this thread is so lame!

 

Tell me about it. Somewhere else on here I read him post about the Buschur 3" exhaust like it was the best 3" exhaust ever, not to say its not a great exhaust, but a full catless, straight though 3" exhaust is exactly that, regardless of who makes it.

 

profanity and insulting

 

This intake is the worst thing we have ever seen on a car. I cannot stress enough how badly this thing works. The problem lies within the filter and maf adaptor, not so much the intake pipe. We had a 2005 come in with some nasty turbo kit on it and this intake (just the filter and adaptor part, it had an intake pipe for the turbo kit). It was a brand new car with less than 2k miles and it was dynoing something like 255 whp on 20 lbs of boost with a GT35R. The karman readings were pushing close to 2900 hz (which is around the 500+ whp range). We removed the filter and adaptor and the karman counts dropped under 1600, had to be totally retuned and the horsepower went up to around 320+. We then put our standard intake adaptor and K&N filter on it and it worked perfectly.

Just wanted to throw that story in there just to overstress what Al said about this piece. IF YOU HAVE IT ON YOUR CAR, TAKE IT OFF IMMEDIATLY and get your car retuned!!!!!!

 

When Al tuned my car he suggested me to get a buschur intake

He's a great spokesperson. I really do not see how buschurs intake is any different then helix, aem, hks, turbo xs

 

ahhhh whats the point, there are still tons of people on here who are gonna buy that crap on ebay, along with ssautochrome manifolds and xspower intercoolers. people never learn, its not even worth it

 

I am glad you agree - I am going to make a seperate thread on this now - its a real pos

 

It's a shame the thread turned into this because it was my car on the dyno. I think the fact that Al performed a fantastic job and is a good guy somehow got neglected. There was one mistake in the post, I have 280's not 264's. I am extremely pleased with the job done, just have to get back up to Pruven saturday to see if Al can help with the idle. There are people on this board who just always have to add there 2 cents. This was a simple post about a car Al thought came out good and just happened to praise the Buschur parts on it. So what! There are people who live and die by brands like HKS, AMS, Vishnu, etc. To each there own. I personally love Buschur's stuff because he backs up everything with dyno #'s, track time, and is always trying to come up new stuff. Please keep the posts on topic and to those with there own 2 cents on Al's love of Buschur's stuff, or what have you, just keep it to yourself and thanks for killing Al's post about my car.

 

First of all - as a vendor on these forums, i would expect you to conduct your posting with more tact.

I think it is sad that i have spent the majority of my time on this thread responding to your insinuations and comments regarding the Buschur Parts

Just so you know - the Buschur 3" exhuast is THE BEST 3" exhuast ever sold for the evo

It is NOT TRUE that all 3 " exhuasts will make the same power - that is dead wrong

Many exhausts such as the HKS or Greddy TI NECK DOWN to a lower diamter pipe at the cat area - also - many of them has additional resonators and also many of them are not straight through designs but have all sorts of bends and twists

The Buschur exhuast is superior to others as far as POWER production

Its advantages are it is made from a lightweight material

It has no FLANGES which always create turbulence - instead it uses slip and stainless steel clamps

It is a nearly 100% staight through with minimal bends after the intial down pipe bend - bends create turbulence and reduce flow

Just for reference - I made 746 WHP with my standard 3" Buschur Exhuast on my car and went a best time of 9.94 in the 1/4 mile with it also on my car

While there are many other lovely exhuasts out there that have many desireable features - it is NOT TRUE to say that that they all make the same whp on the dyno

 

er.......did you forget you started the thread?

 

Does anyone else see the irony of this request?

No offense Al, but you do tend to go a bit overboard with stuff like this. I know why you do it but lets not loose sight of the fact that the people reading these threads aren't dumb. Nor do they need to be fed infomercials here on evom. If you like the products, great. Keep recommending them to people. But if you feel the need to start a whole new thread about why they are THE BEST bar none, be prepared to take a bit of critisism from people who have used them and have moved on and/or are from those using some other product that they are happy with.

And saying that slip joints are going to flow better than a traditional flange is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? We use V-bands in our system (which are quite expensive, btw) but you don't hear me saying that they flow better than normal flanges. There are advantages to V-bands, but flow isn't necessary one of them. What i'm trying to say is that it's sometimes best to sell a product on its own true merits, and not make merits up to sell a product.

And the whole intake "upgrade" thing is a big pet peeve of mine. Has anyone else actually conducted inlet temp testing with the hood closed (like you drive on the road). Dyno testing with the hood open isnt the same as actually driving on the street with an open element intake that isn't isolated from the 200+F air that gets pushed out of the radiator.

I am closing ths thread because it is going of course and it was requested to be closed by the person whose car it is.
