ok, I was browsing for a bassani o/r X and some long tubes this morning, and a few websites said that bassani o/r xs REQUIRE bassani LT headers, and no other brand. is this true??? I was wanting to go with some BBK LT headers and the bassani X.
the off road X is a 2-3/4 diameter on the inlet and a 2-1/2 on the outlet end.
the long tubes are 2-3/4 collector, corvettes do this. the bassani is a slip fit connector and will only fit stock heads. any aftermarket ones wtih raised exhaust ports wont fit. unfortunately, I found this the hard way
I have BBK LT's and Dr. Gas X. had to hacksaw the **** a bit but now it fits and sounds really crazy. like at 4k it sounds very exotic and european. I live in an area that is really rich (Bellevue/Redmond, WA) and there is nothing but M3's 911Turbo's GT-2's/3's, etc. they act like they want to run till I let her stay in gear, then they just chang into the slow lanes. they dont' really know hwo to drive their cars anyways, most of them at least.
If I cant use other brands besides bassani headers with their x-pipe that sucks! my dreams have been slayed!!!! I was thinking of buying them with my graduation money, and I dont have the extra money for bassani headers. Yea though, redblur I would like to hear your setup.
buy the mac slip fit headers. ( it sucks arse but like you get 8 primaries and you have to pound in the collector. waht you do is ditch the mac collector which sucks, and buy like a flowmaster, or kooks collector with your diameter primaries and a 2-3/4 outlet. that way you can run the bassani X-pipe, and you will have a more efficient colletor which will scavenge more and make your idle more quiet.
thats the only way that I can think of where you could run it.
