Bassani X-Pipe question

Needle · May 20, 2004

Is the Bassani X-pipe better (Perf. sound, etc.) with or without cats? My state has no emissions so I have no reason for cats. 97 Cobra

dude, if no emissions regulations, go for no-cats!

I tried mine both w and w/o the cats and preferred the sound w the cats.....seem to run a little stronger up top w/o though...

I prefer the sound of the catted X pipe over the O/R X as well. The O/R X pipe will give you a little advantage on top end as stated above.

If it has no cats do I lose low end power or gain as well? Im aware through the responses that I gain upper Hp gains in higher rpm's but what about the lower?

The X-pipe seems to cause a slight drop; not really all that noticeable, in the lower rpms. An aftermarket H-pipe will give the car more low end grunt.

You will loose low end too on a off road h pipe .

Correct, sorry if I confused anyone, you will lose low end torque with the aftermarket H as well compare to the stock H due to less back pressure, but not as much as you would with the X.

How does the catted X-Pipe compare with that of the MAC Prochamber? Better, worse? Is the catted Bassani going to make more or less Hp than the Prochamber with no cats?

Off road pipes, plain and simple, are LOUD!!!
