I wonder if that's "puffing" or a "meterial misrepresentation?" He is an attorney you know and is held to a higher standard of ethics... Hmmm

 

I suppose everyone has a right to their opinion...I can't fault him for saying that he likes Buschur parts

 

Im done.

 

Boostmonster,


Just for clarification, would you please clarify which 02 housing is which? Regardless of the size the smaller o2 housing looks very well finished, maybe is just the paint.

Anyway, I am in the hunt for the Works o2 housing, did you friend noticed any significant gains. We already know that the Buschur 02 Hosuing amde nearly 15hp but how about the Works?

Thanks!!

 

i beleave b/r o2 housing is the ebay one. lets get that right. now the one on the left is stock on the right is works. i have it but its not on. lol. it looks so nice i cant install it. no im just waiting on something else befor i do the install.

 

You can make out the "works" name cast into the housing, and note the different-from-stock 02 sensor bung positioning.

You should look into the invidia...better than the Ebay 02 housing, cheaper than the works, and it's cast

 

We really dont know exact gains, but the stock ( the smaller of the two) has been coated by calico coatings. We think by the diffence in size that the works will make at least 5 to 10 more hp than buschur's ported stock. The can fitting inside of the o2 housing is the works. Also the works dp can be true ceramic coated as an option.

The Invidia looks to be very nice as well. I wish we would have had one to add to this comparison. We might check one out latter on. We like the fact that you can fit the stock heat shield back on with the Works O2 housing (Stealthy)...

the ebay housing is the same size as of the stock o2, but bigger on the inside.

 

i was there today and happened to witness this also. this customer was getting a clutch install and i seen the buschur d/p when taken off the car. like boostmonster said, the downpipe was leaking like a SOB because buschur said, coming from the customer, that he didn't need a gasket with the d/p. the picture shows the flange cleaned off but it was blacker than hell when taken off. then, boostmonster decided to do a "beer can test" between the BUSCHUR and WORKS downpipes and i was surprised at the outcome. i would think at least a donut gasket would be supplied but with there design u really cant use one.

 

Considering there are solid numbers supporting many exhausts and quite a few have bottle necks, flaring...strange design charateristics...I argue...what does this prove?

That it flows poorly or is a bad exhaust?

Part of the install instructions for the buschur exhaust state that it doesnt have a gasket...and some high temprature permatex in a bead around the exhaust will seal it. Is it the best way to do it? No. But it does work.

Im just confused as to why this is a bad exhaust because a soda can doesnt fit into it? I understand it expresses measurements of a part of the exhaust, but...it has ZERO to do with anything.

 

I don't really think anyone is claiming that it is a bad downpipe.
It is just an attempt at poking Al in the eye with a stick, beating him at his own game. He used the beer can test to discredit others, inferring that they were "Bad exhausts" because the can did not fit through the muffler.

I am a big fan of Buschur parts ....but still find this quite amusing.

 

Good info. Can we take the pepsi challange now

 

noone ever said it was a "bad exhaust" or a "bad downpipe". i don't drive a "9sec evo" or even a 10 or 11sec for that matter, but i believe this is aimed toward showing that the design of the d/p isn't the best. its just like dave improving his mini battery kit or his maf pipe design( hopefully soon) and when he see's this he might look at it as something he can improve. everyone is saying "3" buschur tbe is the best", so why not make it even better?

some people look at it as "bashing" their product and some on here could look at it as "Corrective Criticism". everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.........

 

Im sorry to say any exhaust that sends instrutions to seal with silcone is not worth the ****, that is just like trying to use a rubber without lube.Just my 2 cents

and why it is a bad exhaust, a few months back there was a beer can test on all exhaust systems, and this certain person said buschurs is the best flowing exhaust out there. Well we are mearly stateing facts with pictures that this so called best flowing exhaust is not what it is crack up to be. It has flaws just like every other exhaust.
