What X pipe and cat back exhaust will sound awesome with a pair of BBK Longtube headers? I'm looking for quiet, slight rumble at idle, hardly any drone near the 3k mark and screams like a ****** at WOT.

There are so many combinations out there I don't know where to start.
What if I get x pipe and cat back from Bassani? Will that sound sweet?

Please, ANY ideas would be much appreciated. I have enough money to purchase an axhaust I want but I have no clue what sounds like what.

Thank you all!

Try a UPR type x-pipe with a Magnaflow catback. I have this with shorty headers and it is fairly quiet until ya get on it. Then she screams!! I will not be changing my set-up for a long while. Yes, Bassani will sound very good also.

If I had the know-how, I would post a couple soundclips. I say just go for it. I have never heard the combo before mine and I just hoped for the best. No regrets here!
