Default Bassani exhaust

Does anyone have the Bassani exhaust matched with the Bassani x-pipe? I have searched the history and I can not find in information pro or con on Bassani. Please, I need some input. Thanks.

I do not have one, but I spent a bit of time driving behind a C5 with the combo, from the outside, the car sounded like a boat more than a car.

I have the Bassani Exhaust but no x pipe. I like it alot!! It is nice and loud at WOT and quiet when cruising with very little resonance. I opted not to go with the X pipe because of the Cost vs Performance increase. I could not justify it!!

I have the Vassani exhaust with X-pipe. Purs when idling and roars when you punch it. X-pipe will also reduce the popping during de-acceleration.

Hope this helps,

I have the Bassani cat backs and "X" pipe. Don't agree with the motorboat sound. Agree with the rest of the comments. When autocrossing and my wife driving they sound great and not obnoxious.

I have both and am very happy with the setup. Rumbling but subtle at idle but roar at WOT.





Good luck,
Justin

I have that combo, and I love it. I first chose the Bassani because of the dual oval tips, which I love. Now, I love the sound too. It's quiet at idle and at cruising, but at WOT, they sound great. More "exotic" then the others I have heard. Click on the link in my sig to see the rear of the system. And do the X pipe to. After all, if your going to do something, do it all the way!

I have the fully polished Bassani cat back system with quad tips and the Bassani x-pipe.

I love the sound and the looks are unsurpassed. I have not seen any other system with quad tips as large as this setup.

Now that I have heads and cam with headers the sound is incredible to go along with the impressive looks.

I think Bassani is a great and very unique choice in exhaust setups.

Good Luck!!
