    Where to buy catback with no mufflers??? Just want tubing

    I like the Bassani sound, so for that price I would just get the Bassani system. Plus, I don't like the look of 4" tips.

    Where to buy catback with no mufflers??? Just want tubing

    I'd like an all stainless system 2.5 mandrel bent with 3.5" tips. I'm considering switching to Bassani SS mufflers, but I don't want to pay 6-700 for their catback. I can get a pair of their mufflers for $189. Any help would be appreciated. WAde

    CARB legal headers for the boyz in CA?

    Try going to bassani's website, getting a carb number, and taking it to a shop. X-Press Lube in Calabasas will smog you if you have that. Wade

    CARB legal headers for the boyz in CA?

    I'm "out here in cali" too. I was just at a smog shop and as long as the aftermarket pipe has a carb number on it (which magnaflow, bassani and most others do), they will pass you as long as the cats pass sniffer. Wade

    JLT vs FIPK Gen 2

    I had a filter and removed silencer like you. Instead of spending 200 or so bucks, i just added a Throttle body pipe to finish the job. $65 shipped from tunable induction (demolet). Wade

    CARB legal headers for the boyz in CA?

    Shorties aren't worth it. The equal length shorties (bbk have some gains up top, but sacrifice power down low. Personally, i like some power down low. So, just do and X-pipe with cats and a catback and be done. As long as the X pipe has a carb number stamped somewhere on it, it won't be a...

    Suspension: Cobra Bilstein vs. Bilstein HD's

    I went from bullitt springs and tokico shocks to H&R SuperRace Springs (stiffest ones they make) and Bilstein HD's in the rear. Ride quality improved. Bilstein makes the best dampers out there next to Koni.

    Tire Size for 18x9 rims

    I run 265/35/18 front and 275/35/18 rear. The rear size is the stock diameter so it won't affect your speedometer. 285/35/18 will also fit fine in the rear. Wade

    Suspension: Cobra Bilstein vs. Bilstein HD's

    The Rear 03 cobra shocks only work on IRS. The front struts will work fine for your car, and according to MM they are valved better than the 00 Cobra R struts (which I run). With 10k on them, they hold up fine. Bilstein ***** has a lifetime warranty for a reason. Wade

    Chill, if you find a performance shop that does a lot of work for track cars, they will hook you up with someone to smog you. Where do you live?

    if you were to choose...

    :lol: Then I'm going to order NOW! Kidding aside, I've thought about shorties for a while, and it really isn't worth the money on an NA 2v unless you are pushing Stage 2/3 cams MAYBE. The BBK's lose power down low according to numbers I saw in MM&FF Mag. Save up for some VT Stage 1's.. Its...

    cobra r brakes VS. cobra 10th anniv.

    96-04 cobra brakes are the same. They use a 13" Brembo rotor, and are 2 piston. The caliper is a bit smaller than the stock GT ones, but the 13" rotor allows the for stronger stops and less fade. The cobra brakes have enough leverage to lock up the brakes at most speeds, so stopping distance...

    California Emissions Test - Questions

    Where in CA are you? The best thing is to ask a performance shop (like maybe the one who installed your supercharger assuming you didn't) where they recommend you go for smog. Most performance shops know of people who could pass you most likely. Wade

    Bassani catted X Pipe w/flowmasters

    :nonono: Careful with advice like this. Truth be told, some X pipes sound bad with chambered mufflers, but not all. The Magnaflow catted X for instance sounds very smooth with 2 chamber flows and actually has ZERO rasp believe it or not. I know b/c I've run the combo for 3 years. Wade

    Use flowmaster 40's on Magnaflow catback?

    Shouldn't be a problem as long as you order them with an offset. I love the delta 40's with my magna x pipe, very smooth. but, also consider some bassani mufflers. Wade
