Ok so I just had some bassani mufflers installed on friday and they sound ok but kinda quiet. I expected them to be a lot louder. My flowmasters that I had before that I had broken in very well were louder. I'm thinking they need to be broken in and a bassani tech told me it takes 500 miles to break them in. But I remember opening the box and I noticed there's a quiet side and a loud side I think mine are on the quiet side. Have any of you guys ever heard of this?

Give them some time, since they are a packed muffler they will get louder with age.

Try an o/r midpipe. That will certainly make it louder. X pipes sound great paired with Bassani mufflers. That is what I have. I used to have an o/r prochamber and ditched it in favor of the x pipe.

I know when i ordered mine for the Cobra , i was told if they are too load , you can buy baffles to quiet them down a little. I did not get the baffles but i did buy their X-pipe and Quiet thunder cat back . Its far from quiet .

One thing I do love is that I can actually feel and tell a difference with these mufflers on. I can feel the hp and torque and I absolutely love it. And mine does have the baffles in them.

I really don't think my mufflers are put on correctly because they sound like my flowmasters and aren't loud until about 4k or 5krpms.

I had the BX Catback....Are you running the catted X in your sig? Remove the cats, it'll be louder for sure.

BTW, Bassani Race mufflers = bullet muffler....so, resembling LM2's, Magnapacks, etc etc.

Went out for a drive while ago and it's getting a little louder. It's starting to have that patented bassani sound, quiet at idle and screaming at higher rpms. Thanks for all you guys help and advice.
