I had a thread when I installed my BR tbe exhaust, but I had rearranged some of my images on the site hosting my images.

Here are a few pics after I installed the exhaust.







I also have a video with the exhaust on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvxqGNHK9qU

I liked the sound of the exhaust, but with so many more people getting the exhaust, I wanted a change. I cut the muffler off and put it in the cat location. I found out this is what has been done on David's RS as well. I had BR reweld the exhaust for me and it turned out great.

From the back of the car it appears that it is a straight pipe exhaust. I also had the rolled edge tip cut to remove the rolled edge. If you walk past the car it appears as close to a stock exhaust that I could get.









I do not have a sound clip with the muffler placement in the cat location, but it did change the tone.


Here are a few comparisons between the two companies.

How much $$ do I want to spend?
- AMS EVO VII/VIII/IX Turbo Back w/Test Pipe $999.95
- Buschur Racing EVOLUTION VIII or IX 3" Full Turboback Exhaust
$825 Shipped! ( in the continental U.S.)

What do I want from an exhaust?
- AMS - 100% 304 stainless steel
- BR - 100% 304 stainless steel

What kind of muffler do I want and where do I want it?
- AMS

- BR


What Diameter piping do I want?
- AMS - 3in diameter
- BR - 3in diameter

I am not going to say which company I think is the best between AMS or BR. Either exhaust is certain to have great quality and craftsmanship or else the two companies would not be as large as they are.

I am also not responsible if the offers/pricing on the websites has changed.


Good luck with your decision

Does anyone have a picture of the AMS or Buschur exhausts from under that car...Like wen it's up on the lift.

And does any1 know off the top of their head if either make just a straight 3' Pipe exhaust with no test pipe or anything...Kinda like the Greddy TI exhaust just straight pipe with a muffler...Any pics and answers would be mucho appreciated!

I have the AMS TBE and I have a leak there as well. I blame it on the fact that I reused the donut gasket from the stock exhaust. If I ever get motivated, I'll get a new gasket

I believe the BR exhaust gives more HP.

It's all up to personal preference!

Buschur and AMS both make good quality products, but if you want to save money and weight go Buschur. If you want to pay a little extra for more style and bling go AMS. Either or they both get the job done with significant HP & TQ gains. On my EVO, I go Buschur all the way! I guess it's all up to personal preference and the pocket of the customer.

from the looks point of view the Buschur looks closer to stock so its less likely to get pulled over and harassed for an aftermarket exhaust.

if you don't car about that then go AMS.

I'd get the Buschur if the tip wasn't rolled. I like the straight tip look kind of like the Garage HRS.
