Helix 3" turboback vs. Buschur Racing 3" turboback

Helix 3" Downpipe = $239.00
Helix 3" Cat-Delete = $139.00
Helix 3" catback = $439.00
Total = $817

Buschur 3" Downpipe = $300
Didnt see a price for their cat delete pipe on their web site (est $150)
Buschur 3" catback = $450
Total = $900

Which exhaust is better in performance, fit, quality, and sound?

Thanks,



Bryan

I got my Buschur racing turboback, mine came to $970. I got the downpipe, cat-delete, exhaust, magnaflow muffler, clamps. I just straight up LOVE this ****ing exhaust!!!! It gave me tons of improvement and sounds sickkkk! I would recommend it to anyone. I've personally never heard the Helix so I can't compare how it sounds or anything. The fitment on my buschur wasn't perfect but its all good. The muffler hangs a bit lower than stock out the back bumper but that is it.

The helix exhaust produces 101 decibels at 5300 RPM, I believe that the Buschur puts out 95 decibels at 5300 RPM.

both exhausts are good, just depends which one you like better. I personally have a bushur tb on my gsx and its perfect. Which one makes more power ??????, they are both 3' systems so they will net the same HP + or - a few horses

Well it just sounds different, if you get a full exhaust with a muffler delete its going to be loud as hell!! So I just got this one over the stock muffler that it comes with because it sounds much nicer and looks good.
