looking for opinions.

This will be paired with a mac offroad H pipe.
currently have flowmaster 40's on the car.

i'm used to the magnaflow sound, but wouldnt mind something different.

I do NOT care about what the pipes are made of, so stainless steel isn't a big deal to me. i know they should both flow pretty well, so its mostly about the sound.

i'm thinking about the bassani system, but haven't heard one in person or enough sound clips online with an h pipe.

Can't say for an O/R pipe, but to *my ears* Bassani is deeper and more hollow sounding than the regular Magnaflow which I have.
Bassani is kind of like a combination of Flows and Magnaflow IMHO.

You really should hear one in person before buying though.

so i ordered the bassani catback.

that paired with the o/r H pipe should sound pretty good.

my friend has bassanis on his old gt with an X pipe and it was nice.


hopefully i'll enjoy it.

Good luck!
Let us know how you like it and post sound clips if you can!

the bassani is going to be louder and raspier, the magnaflow is going to be more tamed and rumbly. if you have an o/r h you should consider the mac flowpath catback. i think that is the best sounding muffler with an o/r h

another reason i didn't like the magnaflow catback was it interferred with the MM panhard bar, which i plan on getting. not sure if the bassani one does or not.
