I have a 93 coupe and am going to be putting bassani ceramic coated headers as well as bassani X-pipe. I have flowmaster 2 chamber exhaust system on now, my question is how much different will my car sound with these two bassani additions???? please let me know

My friend just paid $1700 bucks for a full bassani exhaust, and it sounds ok... But definatly not worth all that extra money..

Bassani sounds very exotic but not worth the cost in my opinion.

Does Bassani add more power over say Flowmaster, Mac, ect? For the price it would seem like they do, but I have never seen any dyno results.

Not anything your going to notice driving the car around. Bassani is a straight through design. Mac and Flowmaster are a chambered design,which means there is a little maze the exhaust gases must travel through to exit the muffler.

A straight through design always makes a little more power than a chambered design...

We were talking mufflers right? :dunno:

I'm currently using the Bassani X pipe and it sounds sweet with the Flows I got. You gotta remember that Bassani's pipes are stainless steel and you can't bet that.

Hello,
On my Coupe with an AOD, Mac 15/8 shortys, 2-chamber flowmasters, and Bassani x-pipe at 55 M.P.H. the car sounds queit no rumble. However when you go W.O.T. the car has a totally different sound. Hope this helps.

BillaMustang...How do you like the stepped long tubes? How was installation and fitment? Did you have shorties on before? I have Bassani 1 5/8 equal shorties and was thinking of going to the stepped long tubes. Back to the question...the fit and finish of my bassani stuff was great and sounds mean when you get on it. Heads turn. Tom.

in my opinion i would much rather buy a cheaper exhaust system and spend the rest of the money that would be used on bassani for more mods like an intake or gears

TOM89LX50, Yeah I had Mac shoryies and H-pipe so I put on the Bassani's and X-pipe and the car actually got quieter.. Well until you floor it

But yeah I switched from the shorties to these and also from fuel injection to a carb set up and my times went from 14.30@98 to 12.22@113...


Also the install on these header's was easy. Didnt have to touch a motor mount or anything good luck and get these header's you wont be dissapointed.
