Default Bassani Street Competition exhaust

pulled it out of the box and it is a beauty. The beads look fantastic. all Stainless Steel. A little bummed about the tips... wish they were square like the pictures but oh well I guess 3.5 inch round tips will do. Can't wait to get my car back from the paint shop so i can install.
SWEEEEEEETTT!

Bassani makes great stuff. How much did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking?

Got the Bassani installed. took about 2 hours total to take the old one off and put the Bassani on. Even with the fine tuning. didn't even have time to drink a 6 pack of pounders with my buddy. Sounds great... Deep Deep Throaty sound. I think we are going to have to do headers next. Very happy with the fit and function of the system. all SS clamps definitely recomend..

I have their system with the 5x10 muffler. I like everything about it, except the muffler seems pretty heavy. But I guess that's the way it is if it isn't made of titanium.

ive heard the bassani on a 383 LS1 a few years ago and it was amazing. so much that i bought it for my L98 and im trying to steal it back from my friend that bought the car with it on it. if you can afford this catback, BUY IT! my old one is over 5 or 6 years old and not a spot of rust.

to me it sounded more like an slp dual/dual. it was around the same tone as a magnaflow but was smoother with less gurgle i guess you could say. it sounded smooth and kinda exotic.
