overall, buy what you want. the bassani is just another option for a tru-dual system that runs out the back with no need for suspension modifications or ground clearance issues. the particular s-pipe everyone is complaining about looking like ***, you can't even see. unless you crawl underneath the car.

When I said requirement. I meant is there a rule, a law, something that says for the exhaust system to be street legal, that it has to have 2 mufflers. More of a rhetorical question...

What about using bullets or chambered mufflers? I know you were involved in helping create this system. So take my questions as wanting to improve upon it, not complain about it.

nope i didn't help create it, just test it. and liked it so much, that i put one on the wife's car also. there is no law, rule, or whatever that says you have to have two mufflers to be street legal or be a true dual. if that was the case, then why do we only have one muffler from the factory? i just don't get the whole it has to have two mufflers to be a true dual system. this system just does the whole think outside of the box paradigm.
