You want a quiet exhaust? You want to make maximum power? Look no further.
Over two years ago, I purchased a buschur 3" TBE w/ the bullet muffler and hiflo cat. The car was relatively quiet, as I had just come from a 2G DSM with an apexi downpipe/testpipe/catback and it was BOOMY and LOUD!
About 6 months later I decided to swap out the cat for a testpipe, and was super glad I did! The car picked up torque and power, it was great! Noise was 'just a tad louder' but it was springtime and I didn't care. It was fun to have a fast, semi loud car with throaty exhaust.
As the summer wore on, I grew weary of the rhaspyness of the car and opted for a second bullet muffler in the testpipe. I had came across a buschur exhaust and through a deal between two friends and myself, we bought it. One guy got the testpipe from it, I got the bullet muffler, cut it out and welded it into the testpipe (for my car) and the last guy got a muffler-less catback. Everyone was happy!
Now, a year later, I decided to try out Buschur's 'quiet' catback with the magnaflow muffler. I ended up picking up just the axle-back from SloRice on evoM (thanks man!) and it slipped right on without a hitch! I was *very* impressed that over almost 3 years I can buy different pieces of this exhaust and fit them together w/o any problems.
So I start the car up and go to the back of the car to check for exhaust leaks. To my amazement, I stumble a little and end up with my face right in the tail pipe (but didn't hit it) and my ears are not bleeding! The car is genuinely quiet! At a cruise, I can listen to the radio at lower volume, at WOT the car is still loud enough to make me smile. I am 100% happy with this setup, and would recommend it to anyone with anxious cops in, whiney neighbors, or just looking to quiet things down and stay on the d/l.
I'm considering throwing in one of their new 'SD' mufflers into the straight section just behind the testpipe, but honestly I don't know if the car needs it. I'm mentioning it to a friend and he's yelling at me, 'stop! you're quiet enough!' and frankly, he's probably right.

I wanna see if I can get the tip to tuck under the bumper a bit more, not sure what's wrong but my old setup did it a bit and this one sticks out a bit further yet.
