Which exhaust kit would you purchase?

I'm planning on purchasing an exhaust soon and I really didn't want to spend too much $$. So the JIC titanium is out of the question and I narrowed my search to these:

RMR:


Buschur:


PruvenPerformance:


The PruvenPerformance seems to be the best bang for the buck although it is only an axel back. which one would you choose?

thanks

My vote goes to Mr. Buschur based on their track record with the Lancer products they have available. I expect the trend of quality products to continue with their Evo items.

my choice is to wait a little longer, let other company's finish their testing... Then the price wars will begin.

i'd get the JIC magic full exhaust system, not sure if it is finished, but im sure it would kick ***. I wouldnt cheat an EVO by puttin an axle back exhaust on, go all the way!

We just ran some pretty impressive drag times with our 3" T-304 stainless steel cat-back system. The muffler features a straight-through design, rolled polish lip, and is also very very quiet!











Price on this is $525 USD and comes with our 5-year warranty!

Thanks

Darryl

Buschur all the way, their website said something about a clearence problem with the 3" downpipe though. waiting till they resolve that then I will buy.

of course I say that but i probably will just never mod the car at all

When buying exhausts you want these key points.
-Light weight
-Minimal bends (straighter is better)
-3" all the way out.
Turbos love to flow air, and the more air you can kick out the more power you can make. (relatively speaking )

Anything else is purely cosmetics or rice.

I'm either going with Buschur or RMR.....the RMR sounds incredible in person! The Buschur's price appeals a lot to me and the fact it has the least bends out of the other two exhaust systems. The RMR looks amazing too.

I'm gonna see if Dave Buschur can send me some pics of the exhaust mounted on the car.

Got the Buschur downpipe and exhaust ordered and on the way.

As for the clearance, they recomend washers as spacers.

Our 3" Turbo-Back system will also be a part of our Stage 1 Plus Upgrade which netted us 12.57 @ 107 MPH! Not bad for under $1400!

This may be a good deciding factor, we offer a 5-year warranty on all of our workmanship and quality! If it rusts, breaks, cracks, warps, etc...we will fix or replace it for free of charge! This goes for all of our Evo 8 products!

Thanks!

Darryl
