Search. There are many exhaust threads out there. The BR TB and the AMS TB are both very good exhausts. It just depends if you like a loud or quiet one.

Buschur Exhaust = Cheap price, lightweight, full 3", may not be as visually appealing as the AMS exhaust.

AMS Exhaust = Great quality, 304 SS, decent power gains.

You can't go wrong with either exhaust. Both companies are reputable and produce great parts, so it's really more of a preference.


P.S. There are countless threads on this topic,please do a little searching next time....

I have the Buschur and couldnt be happier. From my experience...

Buschur: Makes more power, is lighter, slip fit

AMS: Sounds better, looks better, flanged

The Buschur has been proven to make the most power but lacks the "BLING" appeal of the AMS unit.

I would go with AMS. It looks a million times better, sounds better, and they have been proven to get massive numbers out of their exhaust systems, so unless you plan on only doing an exhaust on your car, and NOTHING else, EVER, i'd go with the AMS. It's not like the AMS is going to restrict you anymore than the buschur one will if you are looking to make huge numbers someday. I mean i've seen the buschur muffler actually break off the piping at the welds on Al's dynoflash car at the subaru / mitsu shootout at norwalk, so it seems there is always a chance of that happening when you acheive some massive power level.

I have and love the AMS unit, although I'm sure the Buschur one would work great as well.

I think this could be argued forever, I have the buschur TBE and I truely love it. It has the closest look to the stock set-up and I love the tone. The buschur has a great throaty sound (hard to describe), keep in mind that I also have the cat delet as well. When going under a bridge on the highway, I tend to give it a little gas just because the sound is that friggin beautiful.

Either, but I do love my BR TBE. Hell, as far as looks, you really don't see anything but the tip for the most part on the exhausts anyway, and even then, it's just someone else seeing your car drive away really fast regardless.

I wish my Exhaust tip was in the shape of a big middle finger.
