well i got tired of my stock h-pipe and Spintech mufflers. so i found a Bassani O/R X pipe on craigslist. massive difference. the sound is a lot more aggressive. i think maybe i shoudl change out the mufflers next to Borla or Bassani, because hte spintechs just dont sound right.

o and yes i know im the person that gives smog advice on here. but since anythign but stock is illegal in CA, might as well go all the way.

nice choice.
You cant go wrong with Bassani exhaust, and i think it sounds better than the Borla combined with Bassani's x pipe.

well one of my friends has a bassani midpipe and catback on his Kenne Bell'd 04 Mystichrome. i love the sound, however im also very partial to Borla.

i think when im finished building the motor, it will all sound a lot better.

If you want the Borla, then go for it mang!

I bet it'll sound damn good with either catback!
