Borla or Bassani

[westgastang5.0Coyote]

I would like some input from my fellow stangnet members. I'm kinda torn between which catback to go with on my 97 gt. I stuck between the borla catback or either the bassani bx. What do you guys think?

Bassani, If i was picking between the two.

 

[westgastang5.0Coyote]

Well bassani is cheaper than borla. I figure that I can't go wrong with either one of them compared to what I have now which is flows.

 

[mustangman9812]

Deff not lol. I hate Blowmasters every Mustang on Gods green earth has them around here.

bassani has a more throaty tone to it
borla has then nice smooth snap to it.


so, i dunno, its what your looking for, but from my point of view, i dont consider my own car "that" fast, so, i dont like to have all this noise without too much go.

 

[Seraphitia102]

I'd definitely go for Bassani. It's such an commanding tone, especially on a Cobra

Borla's were a bit too quiet for me. I was completely unsold when I read an interview with Alex Borla in which he mentioned that he went for a tone that wasn't "obnoxious."

i have a bassani and i absolutely love it. if your looking for a new exhaust and you want it to roar, go with the bassani, if you want a better exhaust w/o the amazing sound, go borla.

i like bassani. ive never used borla though. only basing my opinion on what i have used.

have you considered magnaflow? i have heard just about every catback, x-pipe combo there is i think, and nothing sounded as good to me as a magnaflow catback and bassani x-pipe. nice quiet rumble at idle and then it just explodes when you open it up! it is also what i am running and i get compliments all the time. it's totally a personal decision though. see if you cant find some different combos to hear for yourself.

 

[xsoutherngun89x]

bassani. hands down. i have them on my mach

 

[flstang65]

dr. gas/spin tech and mac always treated me right also.

 

[Mach1Run]

+1 on bassani

I had a Bassani X pipe and didn't like the sound quality compared to the MRT-H pipe I swapped it with.

If it were me, I'd get some Borla Stingers. They sound like sex on all the guys who run them on their cobras up by me

 

[westgastang5.0Coyote]

I'll probably go with bassani. Don't like magnaflows at all something about them just doesn't appeal to me.

 

[westgastang5.0Coyote]

Would love to have the stingers but they don't make them for my year model 97 gt.

 

[fasthippo]

my car has the stock saleen borla catback, so i dunno if its different than what ur lookin at. but as much as i love the mellow yet more exotic sound of it, i'd like something louder.

waiting to see what it sounds like with an o/r h
right now i'm still rockin 6 cats

Depends on what mid-pipe you have.

Borla's were a bit too quiet for me.

You should to hear the Borla Stingers on my Cobra. It scares little children, animals, and old ppl.









IMO Borla Stingers > Bassani > regular Borla

And if Stingers are too loud for some, Bassani would be the better option for them.

 

[LaserSVT]

Borla is my choice. All the Bassanis I heard were obnoxious and raspy. The Borla stingers are nice but too load IMO. I like the regular Borlas deep tone and how quiet they are at idle. I have long tubes and an off road h-pipe so the regulars would prolly sound great. Unfortunatly I have flowbastards now. The dont drone toooooo bad

Ultimatly ya just gotta go with the sound you like best thats within your budget

But between your two, Bassani by a longshot. If I ever get tired of my SLPs, I'm going with Bassani.

 

[02LaserRed2V]

Oh I failed to mention, I WOULDN'T use Stingers with an O/R mid pipe and/or longtubes. Mine's loud enough, and it has a catted Bassani X-pipe and stock headers.
