Default Exhaust Sounds

I'm relatively new to the forum so I don't know if this is one of those topics that has been run into the ground but after some rather thorough searching on my part, I can't find any Bassani exhaust sound clips. If anybody knows where I can listen to the Bassani on a Z06 I would sure be greatful. I've listened to Borla and Corsa (love that Chris Craft motorboat sound!) but would really like to hear Bassani.

I had a Bassani catback and X pipe with cats on my 98 Cobra and it was the best sounding Mustand I've ever heard. I got compliments and questions on the setup all the time. Relatively mild at idle but screamed at WOT. If they have the same affect on my Z06 I'm sold...I'd just like to hear it first.

OK fire away!

I am looking for a bassani exhaust sound file from a Z06 also. I am fairly sure that is what's going on my Z16 Z06.

We're not having much luck getting any response. I guess we need to get attention somehow...maybe by talking about how ugly the back end of the C6 is. As long as I see the car from the front, I'm okay, but turn it around and I wonder how it got off the drawing board...I mean it looks like someone backed it in to a belt sander and ground off a foot or two!

I searched all over for a sound clip for a corvette with the Bassani system. Can't find one anywhere.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! When the C5's first came out, some of us thought the *** was WAY TO BIG! I just bought one and now love it. Guess it's just gettin use to the change. I do agree with you. The sides look like a Mustang and the front, well, you can have the headlights.

I agree with you my brother...and not just because you are agreeing with me! I am just sad to see the "Vettishness" taken out of the Vette in order to sell it in higher numbers internationally. Just my humble, but strongly held opinion...in case it didn't come through in my first post!

On www.vincihighperformance.com some of the cam bytes are bassani exhaust. Try the cam named the BOSS.

I would recommend listing to them in person and not really from a recording.

Go to some shows and most people are more than happy to start their car and let you stand at the back as they rev it up!

When the C5 first came out, everybody said it looked like a Japanese knock-off.
