Buschur Stainless 2.5" DP and cat

[Van]

Where to start...price was $250 and $150 respectively. Nice dp IMO, smooth micro-welds, pretty straight piece, lighter than stock. Cat is one with loose flanges for easy install. Install was fairly easy, gaskets needed bolt pattern modified slightly at the exhaust outlet and my Thermal R&D cat-back flange. You will need a longer bolt to put through factory wrap-style hanger that comes off the block at the exhaust outlet to enable it to clamp around the new 2.5 dp. You will also need four 1 3/4" long bolts, nuts and washers for cat flanges. It does not utilize the other factory hanger further down the pipe. Once installed, the pipe is pretty sturdy and does not seem to need the other hanger, yet. It is closer to the rear driveshaft because it is straighter. It took me 1 hour to remove stock pieces and 1 hour to install new pipe and cat. Customer service was great at Buschur. Just put it in yesterday, exhaust tone is not louder (than cat-back only)at idle or at cruising speeds it seemed today. Cat smelled "hot" after first highway run.
Now for the good stuff - WOW! if anybody reads this and doesn't have a dp and hiflow cat...get 'em now cause your missing out man!
14b Turbo spools right now. I'm cruising along at highway speed, stomp it, it's one instant, awesome pull! Love it.
