Is there a difference between the Bassani Exhaust Stainless Steel X-Pipe & Cats and the Composite Steel X-pipe & Cats? Both in exhaust note and in performance? Also, since the stang is my daily driver, how do they hold up over time?

Thanks!

Besides the cats, the xpipes are the same.
Tone is the same too.
The SS has smaller/removable cats

So if you're not going to drop the cat then there is no point in stuffing the SS under there. Sounds good to me since I actually know people who have gotten tickets for not having cats. (they got them coming on to the military base that I work at)

well it all depends on where you live the SS wont rust and last a long time the aluminized steel one will rust if you live where it snows alot other than that is the same as the SS it wont rust for along time and the prices are different

Youll NEVER have to replace the SS. No difference in sound or performance.

I dont plan on keeping this gt much over two years. especially since i'd have to do a PI head swap and borla says they dont support the 98 gt 5spd with cat back exhaust. My cats are starting to rattle so im just looking for a worth while replacement. any other suggestions on the x-pipe w/cats. I have to come through a security check point where they randomly look under your car and if you don't have cats then you get a ticket.
