Bassani = Hollow?

speedfreak98r · Nov 20, 2006

Well, I'd like to get a new catback..I'm kinda tired of the straight through muffler sound, and would like to have that twangy/hollow sound..I've heard a couple of Bassani systems, and they seem to have that sound. My questions are:

1. How loud is Bassani (with o/r pipe)
2. Does Bassani sound really hollow?
3. What are the other kits out there that have this hollow sound?
4. Do you even know what I'm talking about when I say "hollow"?

I wouldnt say its hollow. Let me dig up some old vids quick.

with catted X

Edit: God I miss that sound

speedfreak98r · Nov 20, 2006

Hmm...Sounds good..The one I heard looked exactly like yours..He had Bassani o/r x, and catback, along with the mid-lengths.. It sounded different though..Maybe it was the headers

I love that hollow sound ya know?

helty · Nov 20, 2006

headers and O/R pipes will make quite a difference

So are you wanting a chambered muffler?

flowmasters and MAC sound the most hollow-sounding to me. especially with an offroad midpipe.

never really liked the sound of bassani's mufflers or midpipes tho. always sound like someone gargling or coughing up phlem....not really a hollow sound.

Stock exhaust FTW

Cutting off perfectly good stainless steel exhaust components and spending large coin to replace perfectly good exhaust components FTMFL

I know, that is controversial... But let me tell you a story.

When I was a senior in high school I had a 1969 Mustang vert. Removed the entire exhaust system... Installed blackjack headers and thrush glass packs. Shiot bottomed out all the time and when it came time to sell it guess what? Yeah that's right, brand new complete stock exhast had to go back on to get it to sell.

So think carefully before you do anything above and beyond weld in mufflers.

//flame suit ON!!!

KT, you don't know WTF your talking about

I see your point, but stock exhaust is soooooooooooooooooo boring.

geoffsgt · Nov 20, 2006

Damn, my Bassani's aren't as loud as that red mustang's.

Similar sound though, yeah.

no way....did he just say that?

helty · Nov 20, 2006

Many of todays aftermarket stainless steel systems are T-304 (and mandrel bent), higher quality and greater corrosion resistance than the T-409 the factory exhaust components are made of.

If you use a sawz-all to cut the stock exhaust system and keep it, you will spend about $40 having it welded back together if you ever decide to sell the car.

No flaming killy, just offerin an alternative pov

I hear ya Helty... In my opinion the time to mod something is when the factory part has failed or it is unacceptable. I guess it all depends on how one defines "unacceptable" and how rich one is

you want flows or macs buddy.

topless98gt · Nov 20, 2006

I'll get a clip of mine...it's dreamy =)

EDIT: It's cold outside, so it's really poppy when I rev. I recorded it in a note from my dad's PDA, but I can't extract it from that note. Any ideas how to extract an audio recording (made on Windows Mobile 2005) from a Outlook note file (.pwi)??

"The Mustang has the sweetest sound. A trained ear can hear one from 5 blocks away."

Twista!!! Your signature is so true! I always tell people, "I hear a Mustang..." and sure enough a few minutes later, one comes barrelin' around the corner. They are always like, "How the EF do you do that?!"

SO TRUE.

Hmm..Flows or Macs..I really didnt want to go either of those routes, but, I guess if those will give me the real hollow sound I want

DocG · Nov 20, 2006

Here's a link of what I used to have.....flowpaths and o/r prochamber. Not the perfect clip...but it'll give you an idea of the type of sound it produced. Didn't pop like it does in the vid when I was actually driving. Iknow it doesn't sound that loud, but it was pretty darn loud, and very deep. I loved it.

speedfreak98r · Nov 20, 2006

Maybe...
1. One chamber flows, and o/r x
2. Flowpaths and o/r x
3. Flowmaster 2 chambers and o/r x
4. Bassani Street comp, or race with o/r x

DocG · Nov 20, 2006

And I don't think there is anything really wrong with Mac or Flows, quality may not be perfect, but the price isn't near Bassani's either. Should easily last you for years, and by then you'll want a new exhaust again anyways.

I could be wrong, but not sure an X-pipe will give you the hollow sound as much as a prochamber or H pipe
