Default Bassani

I've done some thread searching and listened to the sound clips, but I can't truely tell how loud the Bassani True Dual system is...Also, what is the difference Between Bassani BX and Bassani, the bassani website won't work so I can't read that page...Is the Bassani true duals worth the money? The car will be a 98-00 T/A when I buy it in the summer...I was either going this route, or I was going to get the TSP rumbler and replace the bullet with a Powerstick...I would go true duals, but I won't be camming this car, so I don't think it would be necessary flow wise...I don't have money for a system that runs out the back, the Bassani is the most expensive i'd go...I would get duals dumped, but I really want to keep tips on the T/A...I am in college now, so after college, I plan on dropping a 408 in it, that's why I don't want a cam...So for my final question, would a Bassani true dual be louder than a TSP rumbler with a Powerstick? Both will have no cats and will be attached to long tubes...

From all the clips I've heard, the Bassani seems like it'd be more quiet.

Yes, by far. Check out my video clips on my webpage for Bassani, I had that system and was very happy with it. It is very refined and still howls at WOT so it's really the best of both worlds. Definately worth it on practically any fbody, you will also pick up over a ypipe setup lots of tq.

is it decently loud with long tubes? I want a nicely toned exhaust thats decently loud...I don't know if I can sacrifice loud for power, lol...I know I should but I just love loud cars...The Bassani is a nice lookin system though, anyone know the BX vs. Regular Bassani? The price for the BX is 950 and the regular is 780, is the BX stainless or something?

the BX is the aluminized version for $779.00. the standard is is T439 stainless steel at $949.00 through www.vincihighperformance.com .

worth the money is up to you.

the wife's car wasn't cammed and picked up 15 rwhp over the borla 3" adjustable catback.

the bassani goes all the way out the back. so, kinda confused over the can't afford to go all the way out back, but would buy the bassani.

my take on it, as i have it on both cars, is interior wise will be quieter with less resonance as it does exit out the back. the bassani has way less interior noise over the borla i had on her car.

It's decently loud and got a great tone to it. It's not quiet by any means, but at part and low throttle is very refined.

just think of it as an independant contractor.

it's nice to know you are thinking about me.

no different than when someone buys their stuff from a vendor and then tell people they did and what their results are.

Probably pretty close in decibel levels.

The gmmg's are chambered and so are the powersticks. They should sound simular. Anyone got a clip of a powerstick?
