New Buschur Catback vs HKS Hi-Power
I used to have the HKS Hi-Power exhaust. It really has a great tone and the construction is top notch as can be expected from HKS. I was completly satisfied with the HKS until Buschur came out with their new muffler design...I had to have it, for many reasons...
Well I recieved the exhaust yesterday and installed it that same night. The construction is top notch and everything fit perfectly as expected like all of Buschurs quality parts. There is no movement in the system even though it utilizes only 2 hangers..very impressive. The design of the new muffler is perfect. I dont forsee BR making any changes to this design as I dont see how they could possibly make it any better. It is sooo light its rediculous.
Now for the good stuff...The tone that the BR exhaust has is just sick. It has a racy sound to it without being too loud. It is by far the best sounding exhaust that I have heard for the evo IMO. I would say that it is a little bit louder than the HKS. Drone on the highway is the same as the HKS and at crusing speeds the BR is a little louder than the HKS...but nothing that would attract too much unwanted attention.
Overall I am very happy with the exhaust and HIGHLY reccomend anyone considering an exhaust to go with Buschur. Customer service is top notch and their products speek for themselves.
Big thanks goes out to Buschur and staff for all of their continued help and for a great product yet again!!
Here is a video comparison between the HKS and the new Buschur..and some pics

its a rather odd looking exhaust...I am a fan of the angled canister style exhausts. It may make alittle more power and flow, but i love the looks and sound of my HKS 30th hi-power.
oh and congrats on the exhaust....ive thought about switching mine up too if anyone were interested in the 30th anniversary.
Maybe an AMS or Buschur for me.

I have to say the HKS exhaust is awesome. The power it makes is really good, and the sound is mellow compared to just about all other exhausts. I would not switch on my car.

I listened to the hks on a evo 7 on hksusa.com and thats why I bought it...it does sound good, but the Buschur is on a whole different level...you have to hear it to understand I guess. I will try to take another video from farther away maybe..
