Two options on my 2k3 4.6 GT:

A: Bassani Mid-Length Headers, Catted X-Pipe, After Cat Exhaust
B: Bassani Shorties, Off-Road X-Pipe, After Cat Exhaust

Which would give me more bang for the buck? I was thinking that with option B, I could pop back in my stock catted H-pipe if I had to take an emissions test. Either way, I already have the Bassani After Cat Exhaust.

I think either setu[ will make about the same power. I would probably go with the mid lenght setup cause if you ever pop in a off road pipe you'll be set.

I didn't think Bassini made shorties for the 4.6??? Are these new?

I would go with mid-length headers and an off-road pipe instead, with a catback.
