bbk vs bassani x pipe

[cashiuscasualty]

hey i was just wondering if there was much of a difference between the bbk x pipe and the bassani x pipe? they both look almost the same, stamped "x" design i was just wondering if there would be much performance difference between the 2? thnx

Should be 0 performance difference between the two pipes. Assuming you compare two of the same pipes (read: No-cat X vs. No-Cat X)

Bassani is good stuff, but so is BBK. Just depends on how big your check book is these days.

I doubt there will be a power difference, but most everyone at mustangexhaust.com hate BBK Xpipes saying the sound is pure crap. I'd get the Bassani.

i know a guy running a bbk x pipe and it sounds pretty good

I've got the Bassani and I absolutely love it. It went on easy and the quality is top notch. I believe that in most things you get what you pay for. I've heard of fittment problems and cat problems with the BBK piece.

I have the Bassani 3" X-pipe with cats and to top off the sound, i also got the Bassani 1 7/8" Long-tube headers, ceramic coated and extremely loud. ... . . yea but that bassani x-pipe ran me around 550.00 dollars, but its worth it.

The difference is the fit, finish, and price. The Bassani is a much better product. However, they both serve the exact same function. Theres probably no power difference between the two either. I tend to not keep cars long so a lot of the time I get the cheap stuff.

no question - Bassani ....... Buy it once, buy bassani!

i had a BBK. sold it and bought a bassanni. best choice i ever made. bassanni sounds much better than the BBK. BBK "x" pipe isnt even a true xpipe. it's like a chamber. do it once, do it right.

I have the bassani piece, and it has been one of the best fitting pieces I've dealt with on my car, can't go wrong with quality

 

[LordMustangGT]

I got a BBK LT's and H pretty much same fitment. Wouldn't try anything else! Sound is awesome

 

[mustangramair]

I have the BBK X and i like the sound, however from the first day i got the dang thing it hasn't fit worth crap! I always have an exhaust leak and i have their shorty headers.

 

[RS200]

I've got a Bassani OR-X and Bassani EL headers. Both very high quality, excellent fit and excellent sound.

I just put a bbk x-pipe in my 93 gt and it fit prefect and had no exhaust leaks. I think it is a very good part for the price.

I have the BBK cat'ed X Pipe...I have an exhgaust leak...always have and probably always will unless I replace it.

The difference lies in the materials and cost. I recently put on my BBK x-pipe and like how it sounds. I had an exhaust leak at the intermediate pipes, but fixed that with a Dynomax 2.5" Ultra Flo System. No more leaks. The fitment was a challenge in putting on, but that is to be expected with aftermarket parts I suppose.

i had a BBK. it was okay, but i bought a bassani instead. i think the bassani has a better tone
