Bassani true duals Hey guys, just wanting some feed back about these true duals all the way to the back from bassani. Is it a good system? All the work is done so I don't have to get some td's fabed up at a shop. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks.
I've been looking heavily at this myself. Bassani has 2.5" and 3" versions, not sure how easy the 3" will fit but I already have the PHB relocation kit so hopefully I am ready. LM Performance has both systems.
The one sound clip I have seen is awesome. It's decidedly more refined than a cat back and has all the best features already (stainless, x-pipe, etc).
This is going to be the route I go with on the next round of mods.
It will require a bit of fabbing to make work with long tubes, but it should be nothing compared to custom duals. Keep us posted!

Buddy had it on his '02 T/A, and I must say it sounded really good, especially at WOT. The tips looked like crap, but veru nice system. He dyno'd before and after....Pacesetter Y to Borla, and then the Bassanis, and he picked up a few hp/tq, the best part was the curve carried more at higher RPM's and did not drop off. So there was more potential there if he had gone H/C. All in all nice system that is pieced together well, the tips just looked retarded.

Thanks guys for the feedback. I have heard a couple sound clips of them and they really do sound pretty bad ***. I also think the tips look terrible, but maybe I can through some corsa clones on it. I think its a great value at a little over 700 dollars. Now vengeance racing has GMMG catback for a little more than 600. Which would you guys take?

The lowest point for me was the bend from the drivers header into the X (I had it modified to mate up to Longtube Headers). It measured between 3 1/2" to 3 3/4" ground clearance. I can't remember if that was before or after installing Strano springs. If I took it to an actual exhaust shop, they probably could have gotten more clearance.
I don't think so, C6 tips aren't staggered like mine. I believe they are from GMC ARCADIA. They are called corsa clones here quite often but I noticed that these are from GMC Acadia SUVs. Look.
Here is another view of my car.
Bonneville GXP have the same tips also.

From your pics Bene, I don't think it offers enough clearance for me. The roads here in NYC are pretty harsh.
A 2.5 inch tube has an area of 4.9 inches, times two for the two pipes, 9.8 inches total cross sectional area. The single 3.5 inch pipe has a cross sectional area of 9.6 inches.
Plus, upon closer inspection of the picture on LM Performance's website, the floor pan plate is removed. I have the torque arm relocation member which replaces the floor pan plate. The Bassani true dual kit will not fit my car or any car with this componant.
Looks like I’m staying with the Stainless Works 3.5 system. Size-wise, it just about equals dual 2.5 pipes and it will fit better without the need of a X-pipe. I’d also think one pipe will stay hotter than two pipes which will promote higher flow rates. Exhaust gasses slow down as it cools which reduces it’s scavenging effect.
Too bad. It’s always sexy to have true duals.

Here is my car when it was an automatic... it clears it.
Don't forget my car is lowered with DMS springs (1.5"). Surprisingly when I go over speed bumps I don't scrape.
It's the tunnel brace I'm talking about. It's not installed on your car. It's here in this pic (not my car):
I'm using the Tunnel Brace Mounted Torque Arm w/ DSL seen here to tie together the three point SFC's:
