Muse UICP vs Buschur UICP

How similar are these two? They look basically identical. Any reason to spend the $100+ more for the Buschur?

Will both mount up to an ETS FMIC?

Thanks for the help guys.

Buschur UICP

Muse UICP

On my 3.5 ets standard IC my crappy injen uicp bolted up. Not without a fight tho. If i didnt get it for super cheap I wouldn't have bought it cuz i dont think at my 500whp mark a stocker is a restriction. Not to jack ur thread but id be interested to know at what hp mark the stocker becomes a restriction...?

I have a muse uicp and it fits like a glove. I have the full 4'' kit from muse and it fits perfect, not sure what core they use or if this info is going to help you but hope this somewhat helps.

If both will mount to the Stock IC they will mount to the ETS.

Upgraded UICP on an EVO does nothing you'll ever be able quantify for performance. Only positive to an upgraded UICP on an EVO is the stock rubber can start to balloon w/ higher boost.


Both are SS so pick the one that gives you the warm fuzzy and win

I remember you posting about this. Wasn't it a BOV flange they couldn't get right for you.

I use ETS SS pipes but like you said all the same ****

Buschur is a waste of money on a name. Some of their stuff is probably worth it, but a $100 more dollars for an UICP that is probably identical is a bunch of mark up BS. Buschur has always seemed rediculously over priced to me. Just my .02, I plan on getting the MUSE LICP and probably the UICP as well, the UICP is mainly to eliminate the rubber couplers and prevent the balloning effect created by high boost as stated previously.

Buschur has proven time and time again. Dyno and dyno again of the performance. You get what you pay for. Do it right the first time.

Back in the day we had the option for mild steel or polished stainless steel. People wanted to save money and picked the mild steel. We now only use stainless steel.

We have options for everything. Stock intake manifold, short route, magnus intake manifold, AMS F1 intake manifold, etc.

Thanks!

Michael
