Go with the Bassani True duals. I've never heard a Y-pipe setup that sounds nearly as good as dual exhaust, 2 cylinder banks should have 2 exhaust pipes. Its just the way it as meant to be, Y-pipes are less than optimal for a number of reasons.

Even though the GMMG is louder, the Bassani more than makes up for it in overall sound, tone, power, and torque.

Weren't you the one telling me that GMMG is overpriced? And now you're saying that duals are more expensive?

See? Clearance issues. Not that this should turn anyone away from TDs but it's something to consider because you'll end up spending alot more than you planned, or if you had gone with a Y-setup.

GMMG IS overpriced. And Bassani duals ARE more expensive. That has nothing to do with anything, lol.

When you think about it GMMG is only $270 dollars more than a brand new slp loud mouth CB.

I went Bassani. Interior noise is comparable to stock, but outside is a bit louder. WOT is definitely louder, and big power gains.

It comes with a single muffler that is divided into two chambers, one for each pipe to go through. There are no muffler options. If you want it loud, lose the cats. If you want annoyingly loud, look at the TSP dumped kit.

If you go with Bassani are you going to run into clearance issues? I figured it would be a simple bolt-in installation?
It is a simple bolt on. But I think the system might have some issues w/ DS loop. Here is what mine looks like under the car.

Here is my buddy's Y pipe set up and UMI T/A w/ DS loop.

TIA!

louder = GMMG

most power = never seen a comparison between the two. i did compare the borla adjustable to the bassani and picked up 15 rwhp with the bassani.

buy = http://vincihighperformance.com/fbod...t.html#EXHAUST
