My evo is now quiet! Buschur bullet TP + 'quiet' catback

**scheides** · 02-08-2009

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.

Vid of startup, idle, and some random driving, some WOT runs with and without alky:

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.

looks good. what did you do with the old muffler then

Magnaflow definetly makes the best sound mufflers!

Do you think you could take a couple measurements? I am planning on doing exhaust on my Stealth and would like it to be quite. If it's not quite, I might as well save some weight and run open down pipe. Also, is this still a straight through design or does it have baffles?

looking nice, since my exhaust broke ive been looking at either this one, or the Cobb catback.

Straight through, no baffles. What measurements do you want?

Check out the Perrin catback, hennekins had it on his car and it was smooth and quiet. or look at the buschur quiet catback, I am now quite fond of it

Sounds really mellow at idle. At WOT sounds good too. I like it.

What was with the whistling in the video? Did you see an officer of the law and pretend to whistle like nothing was going on? LOL

Kevin 1G Drummer · 02-08-2009

Sounds good! I like it.

MustGoFaster · 02-08-2009

The diameter and the length. It should be 6" or 7" diameter. Length should be 14". Hopefully that's it, because I would like to get one since they seem to work so well.

WIth the radio off, the car is quiet enough that basic conversation can be had and a simple whistle breaks the silence...dunno, just struck me as aweful quiet and I was bored!

The bullet muffler or the magnaflow?

I'll be selling the bullet setup, not sure on the price yet. This section is $250 new.

Looks good!

awd-drifter · 02-08-2009

very nice setup. the magnaflow sounds hella nice, especially on dsm/evo's. I also love how the Buschur had the exhaust looking that way, very nice! on the noise, that's very very quiet inside. i think when you can hear the engine roar loader than the exhaust, that's when you know it's quiet....quiet inside the car that is.

very nice! now i want an evo!!!!

A guy in my town has a late 90's Viper RT-10 with no cats or mufflers..

it kind of sound like someone is slapping the biggest butt-cheek in the world with a shovel.
