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?

Al, you just edited the pics, so the part you were actually comparing the Megan muffler to is just a welded on tip, not even the muffler internals themsleves. This is where your credibility goes to hell, for all you know the muffler could bottleneck to half an inch in there for noise reduction. I doubt that's the case, but you get my point.

Its funny how things get blown out of proportion
I had no intention to start a sepearte thread on Megan Exhuasts - it was a side comment that I had made to one member's suggestion that Warrtalon could have made more power with a BR exhuast and I agree
Somehow - that comment was moved into this seperate thread
As for the inner measurement - when you look at the back of one of these Megan ones it looks down right ridiculous this giant tip with a tiny hole inside.
Personally - I just don't like that design and its nearly impossible to get a good a/f reading with a wideband in that tip due to the huge variation in diamater
They must have changed the design on this b/c this one pictured is larger slightly inside than others I have seen before
Afer seeing this picture - I am thinking that the Buschur unit must be over 3" inside - I am going to take some measurements now

Al, we both know that no tuner should rely on a tailpipe clamp to tune a car reliably. Worst case scenario if there were no additional bungs available the rear O2 bung should be used and if P0420 is thrown during the tune, you can simply reset it for the next 50mi and finish, unaffected.
At a local dyno I have found time and time again that our "DP mounted" or testpipe mounted O2 readings are much leaner than the tailpipe clamp as we have tested them on a number of cars concurrently. You do NOT want to tune what you think is 11.2 at the tailpipe as it could quite possibly be 11.6-11.9 further up the exhaust stream.
We understand you are in cahoots with Buschur which is nice. He is great company. The problem people have with your statement is that the Buschur unit will make more power. On top of that you posted incorrect info regarding the Megan unit about it tapering and calling it a "Taiwan POS". If in fact the BR unit would make more power, it would be negligible (+/- 2whp) and it would be due to the lack of a resonator and the small "resonator" of an exhaust can. Hell for all we know the Megan unit could trump the BR. Lets all pipe down unless these units are tested back to back. After all it is the Buschur way to dyno prove results.

Shh, he is trying to regain his non-existent credibility.

Well that "tiny hole" has been proven without a shadow of a doubt to be a full 3". I guess all 3" catbacks are tiny, including Buschur Racing, the one you were trying to push for BR?

Its designed differently as you can see from the pics

I personally see them - BR - making the exhausts on loaction in Wakeman OH when I go there
My "facts" are my 745 whp I made with this same exhuast on my car and the 9.98 I went with it in the 1/4 mile - nothing imaginary about those numbers
Frankly - there is no need for all this negatie vibe here. I just prefer and use BR units and you guys like Megan units.
Obviously Megan has increased the size of its muffler in some way which is great for them.
I still prefer made in USA quality goods - personal choice

Just Hatin cause I don't get free parts, don't mind me.
