I got a supposed Bushur TBE for Christmas, and it came without all of the hardware and some of clamps aren't in good shape, so I'm looking for replacements.

The weird thing is that the existing three clamps all adapt from 3" (76mm) to 80mm (3 1/8"). The downpipe is 3", but the cat and test pipe have 80mm ends. The midpipe is 3", but the muffler is 80mm. So I can't use straight 3" clamps like the ones Buschur sells. The clamps I have are Walker Mega Clamp--or, at least two of them are. I've googled/froogled a bit, but haven't been able to find these clamps. Anyone know where I can get them?

Does this sound like a Buschur exhaust? I know they don't use slip joints everywhere any more, so if it is, it's probably an older one. If so, I'm worried about whether it'll fit my '05...

 

OK, here are some photos...

 

C'mon...somebody's gotta know if this is a Buschur exhaust or where I can get these clamps...

 

Go to Napa. Get 3" band clamps like the one that is on there already. Torque them down real tight with a impact. Done.

And that is a Buschur exhaust. Also the 3" band clamps will work...

 

Thanks, 2006EBIX. You really think straight 3" clamps will work? That's not what's on there now...

Wait...it just occurred to me that I might have my head up my ***. I was assuming that the exhaust pieces butted together. But if they actually slip together, then the clamps wouldn't need to adapt between the different sizes.

But that doesn't explain why the existing clamps do adapt between the two different sizes.

 

it looks like the Buschur exhaust but a much older version, because the new the down-pipe is flanged to bolt up the to your O2 housing and testpipe/hfc and the rest slip fit.

For the clamps I would call Buschur and ask them to ship you some.

 

did you call buschur, i would call them if i was you
those are the same clamps i got on my buschur exhaust
why do you want to replace them anyway, they look fine

 

The bolts are rusty and one has had the head cut off. Yeah, I should probably just call Buschur. Probably should have just wished for a new exhaust..

 

i got that same exhaust ,the sound when it is catless is amazing
