If they have changed the product to improve it - good for them

I still like the BR better and that is why I run it on my own car

you don't have to defend your self ...


what you said in the beginnin' of the thread is pretty damn personal.-_-

You made very slandering comments on the Megan exhaust without one ounce of proof other than what you think you saw and then promote your sponsors under the statement of "made in America" and expect us to simply take it as god’s word? Are you that delusional? A lot of people buy and like their Megan exhaust because it is what it is. Cheap and gets the job done without any real quality compromises. Post all the pictures you want but you have nothing to stand on and so now you want to flood us with pictures?

**Edit, I have to stop myself from being too amazed by your comments.

The Megan is Made very clean as well...it looks great like any other exhaust out there. My Megan CatBack uses all Hangars that the stock would have. Plus its Quiet at Idle as well. So I guess the Megan "is more than what BR exhaust can say"...

Ok guys - here it is - the simple easy way to gauge your exhuast and see if its up to snuff

The BEER CAN TEST

ANY EXHUAST which can swallow a beer can is big enough for the job

Here is the stadard Buschur 3 " turbo back that is in my Evo which I used to go 9.98 in the 1/4

Call me craxy - but this is how I like my exhuast tips to look and this is the angle most everyone will view my car on the road so its important that it look right



Now that I see what a hot topic this exhuast stuff is with some of you guys I will pack my camera on the road the next few weeks and take some shots of the ones with tiny holes I find

That still does not tell me how it will make ten more horsepower than any other 3 inch mandrel bent exhaust.

BTW guys as long as I had my camera out - my latest step into madness of evos . . . . coated manifold back from G Force in B'port, CT for coating - nice header by Shearer

Spring flowers and racing are on my mind . . . .

My car goes to Buschur in two weeks for the new 3.5 " exhuast and a few other things

Better design, less flanges (slip fit) freeer flowing, better designed muffler

and it weighs less also

I will let Mr. Buschur chime in on the details on his units when he has time

In the meantime - I think a direct A - B test between the two units is in order at some point

I agree, I think Warrtalon should do a before and after dyno once he gets his from Buschur. I doubt we will see a difference.

This is really the only way to settle it

BTW - lets face it - seriously - the Megan cant suck that bad or it would not have made as much power as it did

The numbers I made on Wartalon's car without alcohol on pump gas and with the alcohol were bothe records for the stock Evo 8 turbo and stock ecu for my tuning without cams

There are some really small and tiny exhuasts out there and clearly this particular Megan is not one of those

I agree 100%, which is why I have been questioning the validity of your claims the whole time. I think it's a quality piece for the price. Congrats on the numbers.

No one would doubt the low price

The BR unit is higher priced but includes a high flow cat and MIL emiliminator plus the tie bar spacers included with it

The Megan certainly made loads of power - but
With that said - there are small details where power is lost - just different ways of doing things

For example - the info I see on the Megan web site shows it has a flex section which adds weight and creates turbluence - (at the benefit of taking stress off the down pipe)

also - the picture shows it NECKS at the cat



I would have to look at one on a car to see if it actually necks down at the cat in production or if its just the pic

However - one of the reasons I am so confident in the BR unit is that BR took great pains to make the exhuast as staight a shot and as free flowing as possible this is why it is gives you the max possible power available

You cant get any more high flowing than this - no added neck downs or other things to impeed flow - no way to get more flow unless you go bigger than 3"




here is the cat back section - again - nearly as staright as you can get with no neck down or tight bends





Also - the BR unit weighs in at a scant 23 lbs

No idea on the weight of the Megan and cant even speculate

Dude, this is how it all started, AL said you would make 10 more horsepower when you got the BR TBE.

Al, yes it does have a flex section, no it does not neck down.

Wouldn't you agree that a high flow cat would be more of a restriction than any bends in piping or exhaust flanges. I would certainly think so. Does Buschur not offer a TBE with test pipe?

I know how the thread went. It started in the middle of my Dyno thread before it was split out by Speedlimit. What I was asking is if you know something I don't pertaining to a BR cat-back showing up for me to test.
