Default Bassani or Magnaflow Cat-back ??

I have a boy that was recently in an accident with his 02' T/A. His stock exhaust was pretty much destroyed and is nothing more then a giant paper-weight.
I know that both companies make a catback but i cant find anyone who sells them.
Im trying to talk him into purchasing something that not that many people have.
Also, out of the two, which would you guys prefer soundwise ??

Also, he drives a silver T/A, so im trying to talk him into having some silver ghost flames painted on the car, since he works at a body shop, and purchasing some FM10's.

What do you guys think ?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Hehe.. if he's purchasing FM10's money isn't an issue <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

My personal preference is the Whisper, but they are getting hard to find. I think Corsa would be next on my list... or a SLP Dual Dual.

Given those choices.. I'd go with the Bassani.

I haven't heard Bassani, but the Managaflow sounds real good to me. There's a company that's doing a GP on Magnaflow too. E-mail if you want to know where.

Well, he is asking for me. I still am not sure what I want to do. Is there much weight difference between a stock catback and a Magnaflow....etc. I might just get a stock WS6 takeoff and put some nice tips on it. I usually run through the 3" cutout anyway. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Post some more.....I need to figure out what I am going to do this week!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Thanks.

if you want something nobody has yet,,or atleast only a few of us have it on as a test system!...go with the new "gale Banks" system!..this is an awesome sounding system at idle & cruise,and gets really wild under full throttle!..it is all stainless steel ,and the retail on the system is only about $500!...cannot be beat in my opinion!..this will be the system of the future...or the near future atleast.. <img border="0" alt="[hail]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

My vote is for the Magnaflow catback. I installed in about 2 weeks ago & it sounds & looks great. Not to mention I got it for $395 shipped through a GP; it's hard to beat. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
