Default Bassani Cat Back Exhaust Question

Does anyone have one and do they like it? Does it have drone or not. Just wanted to know if anyone had a opinion on it either good or bad... Thanks....

I have the Basani exhaust on my 06/A6. It has the muscle car sound, nice and deep. However you hear it ALL THE TIME it never goes away. I had Corsa on my C5 and at cruise it was very quiet. I suggest that you find someone local and ride with them first.

Bassani makes awesome products. We use their catback on our GTO, and are considering it for the Vette.

The Bassani would be even more popular if there were header options. Would you guys be more interested in buying if we got Kooks to make connection pipes that work with the system like they did for Corsa's X-pipe?

Thanks!

Yes they do make headers - very nice construction and ceramic coated. Along with their mid pipes and high flow cats. All bolting up to their cat back system. Works for me. I do have this package - sitting in boxes in my garage. Unfortunatly because since my car has been at the dealer for weeks with back clutch packs and bad tranny I'm now NOT going to install the units until I'm deep into ownership. My dealer told me the headers would immediatly void the warrenty. Hum...I wonder how much I would be paying for the all the work being done currently under warrenty.

im also looking into getting the bassani headers soon, since i already have the bassani catback. Im debating if i should do it or not because of them voiding my warranty. Anyone have dyno #'s with these headers?

Pretty good deal for these on ebay... But you also need the high flow cats.

That would be awesome... because i heard the bassani headers do not add as much hp & torque as a system like kooks would. I would be very interested if kooks made a connector pipe to fit the bassani catback, im sure all the other bassani owners would be interested as well. it would make this catback system more popular too.

Actually I think the bassani headers make more torque but less HP. Torque is more important for street. Also FAIRWAY SPORT & Performance, highly recommended by bassani, has a better price on the Bassani headers at $1125.00. High flow cats are 350.00 I believe.

We can sell the Bassani Headers too at an awesome price if you call us. Most people in the market for headers however generally don't have Bassani on their list, which is why I did not list their headers.
