They really are for different owners. The Buschur will not work with the stock cat at all, only their high flow cat or test pipe. RMR's will work with the stock cat and is a direct bolt replacement for the stock DP (except for clearing the crossbars). Though RMR does sell a fairly inexpensive crossbar which looks pretty nice that seems to clear all the downpipes.

FWIW, I got the RMR downpipe and catback, plus the replacement tie bar so I could use either the stock cat or put in a test pipe. I was also a bit concerned about how noisy the Buschur system is. I've never heard it, but the Buschur system on my 1G DSM is too noisy for my taste (can't comfortably listen to the radio when cruising to the race track). I was concerned their Evo system would be similar.

Neither has a flex section. Just an observation...

I have had the RMR DP for almost the entire time I've owned my car. No complaints, makes lots of power, bolts on in about 5 minutes. I purchased the lower cross-brace, too. If you saw the stock bars, you'd buy a replacement, too (Cusco, RMR, anything but stock). It has the 02 sensor bung (gotta love that word) and fits like a factory piece. In fact, the whole exhaust is built like that and has held up great.

This is the HKS one and i have this on my car
Made big power and no noticeable torque loss
It clears the braces, is nice, shiny, and has really high quality flanges

does the hks downpipe bolt directly on w/out mods, and does it work well with the stick cat/highflow cat, and 3inch cat back. Or are there issues w/ a 2.5inch downpipe and 3inch exhaust?
