My BR TBE sounds LOUD as hell. Everyone I know adores the sound and usually at stop lights I get comments from other cars asking if it's the new "muscle car"? Or is that a GTO in 4 door?

Love it and Buschur keep up the good work!!

 

I have this Tb too...but with my custom headers from and turbo kit- it is racecar loud-

my wife can hear me coming home from at least a mile and a half away.

I'm actually looking to switch to something a little more mild without hurting the performace gains that I have made.....

we'll see

 

I would recommend trying the Magnaflow muffler. The Magnaflow definitely performs well too.

 

That's the problem....I do = )

Think about switching to an RNR or HKS Hi-Power.

we'll see

 

The exhaust performs well and is made from quality materials. IMO, the Magnaflow looks "funky" due to the angle and size. The standard muffler fits well, however was much too loud for my tastes.

My biggest issue is that the muffler will collect water (especially after washing the car) due to it's orientation and will spit a black carbon mess over the rear bumper cover, garage floor, driveway, etc.

 

Couple of things.

Yes, the downpipe clears the 2005's.

If the exhaust is too loud and you have our BR lightweight muffler first thing to do is put a cat on. If you already have one then switch the Magnaflow muffler.

Sorry for the questions, but I have one more - will the downpipe clear an aftermarket lower arm bar, something like the Cusco Type 2 Bar?

Thanks for the help.

 

dave-

would the TB exhaust with offroad pipe and magnaflow muffler be reasonable in terms of how loud it is? like could i take clients out in the car or hear the radio fine or talk on the cell fine when driving? i dont want a cat but i dont want the thing to be too loud.

 

It is my understanding that the Cusco Type 2 bar will not work with aftermarket 3 inch downpipes. You need to get the RMR lower tie bar. I have one and the JIC 3 inch dp cleared it with room to spare.

 

TBE with Magnaflow and test pipe is not to bad at all... even with cams. I just recently took the cat out so I've got a good idea of the difference. Car is pretty quiet down low but gets pretty damn loud under WOT.

You shouldn't have any problems hearing anything if you're just cruising around.

Hell just for kicks let me see if I can find a decent mic. I could record a couple wavs on the laptop and post them.
