best exhaust system for the ix
You won't be disappointed with this exhaust, sounds great on the highway as well, you may also like the ETS exhaust systems as well.

Not likely - The HKS is just carbon wrapped, under that carbon is a regular steel muffler, plus its got extra lbs of mounting brackets that weigh it down further. Also, Make sure your comparing apples to apples - The HKS is just a CB, and the Buschur is a full TBE.
Buschur's fitment was great. Easy as can be on the install. I never installed a TBE and I had it installed in a few hours on jackstands.
If you decide on the Buschur, you can pm me and I can help you with any install q's you may have.

Clean factory look and as quiet as a 3" non tapering system can get.
Buschur Bullet muffler with V band Clamps!
Sexy as hell looking, very good quality sounds good but loud.

Very good quality, loud, if you like JDM style.

JDM'sh look, very good quality, on the loud side as well.
Just asking for what is the best exhaust is a stupid question. You as the purchaser should tell us what you are looking for in an exhaust. Power, sound, quietness, loudness, quality, bang for buck, taper or not etc.... Then we can recommend you with something that fits closer to your profile.
The list I gave you up top has a brief description of what they offer. They all make power, with only slight variations that you will never feel becuase they are all with minimal bends and full straight through system.

I bought a used BR TBE and replaced the bullet muffler due to a loud drone at freeway speeds. Around town driving was ok but the freeway drone was unbearable. Also the downpipe doesn't use the stock dounut gasket and leaks at the O2 housing because it isn't used (verified by carbon soot trail and sound). The clamps didn't work to hold the piping so I had to weld it up. Replaced the muffler with a 3" oval Magnaflow and no more drone. The bullet muffler packing was very minimal and shifted around when the muffler was shook back and forth (hence why mine was so loud on the freeway). Can't say they are like this new since I bought mine used.

I vote BR or ETS. both are on the loud side but you can always get the "quiet"magnaflow muffler from BR .Either way the power gain and quality of these systems are hard to beat.
you may also want to look into a magnaflow TI exhaust .
