Hey....you guys who have installed a bassani aftercat.... did you have to disconnect the lower fastners on the shocks to lower the axle or can it be installed without disconnecting anything???? I have a 2004 GT...thanks

On my '02, i had to unbolt the bottom of the shock to let the axle down enough to fit the tailpipes over. I tried for about 10 minutes to get it over without doing this, but couldn't get it to fit over the axle. Don't worry, it is pretty easy to bolt it back up!

for the install take the rear wheels off and you'll have all the room in the world without disconnecting a thing


if you're talking about removal of the stock piece just cut the ****er off

To get mine on I used juack stands to support the body and let the rear hang. Slips right over that way. Couldnt get over when I tried it backed up on ramps.

+1 on using jackstands instead of ramps.

If your talking about getting the old one off then just cut it, i put a loudmouth on mine a few weeks ago and I just cut it off. not worth keeping really. Maybe the tail pipes but I garbaged it all. As to putting the new one on, are the tips already welded to the pipes that go over the axle? If so, you will need to let the rear axle down to get it over.

I ended up dropping down the passenger side a little bit to get the new pipe in. Might not have had to, but it sure made it easier.

Just pull the rear wheels and you will be able to fish in the new pipes.
