I currently have a Flowmaster American Thunder Catback.
The drone is not bad on the highway because I have 4.10 gears.
However, city driving drone gets annoying sometimes.
Is it worth switching to a Bassani Catback?
How much difference in drone?
Would I be wasting my time and $$?

Thanks!

If you go with the catback alone you will have no drone. From your signature it looks like you're still running the stock mid-pipe. Coupled with a Bassani catback, an aftermarket x or h-pipe would make your car sound awesome not to mention the horsepower gain. Every setup drones - just depends on your definition of drone. Mine has little to no drone and nothing that gets on my nerves.

Is Bassani worth it? Damn straight it is. If you want quality you have to pay for it. Plus, you'll get that distinctive Bassani gurgle at idle and scream at WOT and have a distinctely different sound from most mustangs.

I had the Flows and liked them, but I got tired of them and switched to Bassani.
Bassani is a little louder and sounds awesome. They have a sound of their own at idle. It is worth the money IMO.

Did you try the SEARCH function?

See my previous msg. http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=474218&highlight=exhaust+drone+fixed

Follow the link and read complete postings. This guys home grown fixed looks funky but it works. I had mine done by an exhaust shop and it looks alot better. Of course, who's going to see it?
