I have it. I've tried about 7 different systems on this car and Bassani is my favorite so far. I too am using an ORY, and let me tell you, it's pretty loud. Not LM type loud, and not raspy either, just plain old loud. Not too bad just for cruising, but when you go WOT, everyone will hear you.

As for quality and fit, both were perfect on my system. Only thing is the band clamp they give you to seal the I-pipe to the Y-pipe and the other band clamp for the over-the-axel pipe are trash. They would not seal at all, so I just swapped them out with a regular crimping type clamp.

As for flow, I would assume it flows great as you can look right through the muffler.

It doesn't sound quite like any other system I've heard yet; it's VERY aggresive, and very deep sounding.

Hope this helps.
