Default Who has Bassani Catback?

I know the bassani catback hasn't been around long or maybe it has but I'd like to hear it on a LT engine. Anyone have a sound file of it or better yet live close by! Impressions of it with comparisons to something like a B&B system or other 3in system would also be appreciated. Thanks guys and girls.

Eric

They sure have some sexy babes in their advertisements, but I've never heard of a C4 owner having them.

I knew somebody had to have one. Is the system louder than no mufflers, deep, what? My LT1 with no mufflers and stock manifolds and resonator is about 72 db at wot (got measured on a slow day at the track). Anyone else, keep em comin!

Personally I have never heard a system with no mufflers, so I can't compare. The sound is deep and very throaty and has resonance in the 1700-2000rpm range.

Some other things we might want to know: Good quality? Ease of installation? Polished S/S? Tips? Any fabrication needed? Pictures?

1. Quality was superb.
2. Installation required some fabrcation on my 96 because they sent me a 92-95 system. Rather than deal with shipping it back, I had the muffler shop fabricate it to work.
3. It's stainless steel exhaust system with polished tips


Here are some pics:

Yep - but I'd be sure to get the correct (96) exhaust system.
