Someone around my town is selling a used Bassani Cat-ed X for a good price.

I am wondering if I will have any issues installing it with my Stock Headers and MAC Cat back?

Do I need anything special?

Thanks

should bolt right up man. remember, when companies design x-pipes and cat-backs, they are designed to mate up to the stock manifolds, h-pipe, or cat-back. Therefore in theory, you should have no problem mating a Bassani X to a Mac cat-back, bc the mating points should all be in stock locations.

Exhaust

I have the Bassani X pipe with cats and I love it!
I had the Mac catback before on my car and after about two years the
tailpipes were rusted and the chrome on the tips were starting peel
and flake off within the first year of having it.I would honestly get a
different catback.You should get the Magnaflow Magnapack catback
instead and plus it's stainless steel and will not rust on you.

Pennywise,

I am not the biggest fan of my MAC, but it has been holding up for a year now with no problems.

I hate the Drone I get, I am planning on replacing it some time.

I am not the biggest fan of Mac either that is why I don't have their parts
on my car.I also had a issue with Macs' 70mm Throttle body and the rpm
would stick and hang on me all the time.I have learned that Mac is crap just
like alot of people on this board will say.I installed a Magnaflow Magnapack
catback recently and the quality is awesome.It has really no drone at all
and it sounds perfect to me.The fitment was good also.I would definitly keep
it in mind in the future.Go to this site and hear some sound clips because
exhaust is a preference really and see what catback you like.
