Did you have any issues with your computer when you installed the Bassani off road X-pipe??? How did the car sound after the installation, Louder deeper sound??? Too Loud of a Exhaust Sound??? How much HP do you think it was good for??? I'm asking all this because I have a friend that did some construction/electrical work for Bassani Exhaust and he picked up 2 x-pipes from them one catted, one not for free and was wanting to know if I wanted the off-road one for my 2000???

definitly get the o/r x, i used mil eliminators when i installed my x pipe so i had no issues w/ the computer throwing a check engine light, as for the sound, under full throttle it sounds awesome and i can tell a power gain, driving regular its still pretty loud but i tend to like it like that...finally, i dont think it made the sound deeper but i would say it sounds a little raspy but the o/r x basically just amplified the original sound of the car seing has how the car came w/ a catted factory x...

Wow, you are one who is certainly getting the most out of their car. Slicks or DR's? Also, how is your fuel situation? Dont see anything for an upgraded injectors or pump? You must be running high fuel pressure and going lean up top?

I have the Bassani X on my 04 as well and like it. It's certainly louder but so many people have told me that it's one if not the best sounding Mustang they have heard. Does not resinate and is really quiet when in the low rpms. It did get rid of my blower whine a bit which is not to my likeling but that might just be because it (the exhaust) is louder...who knows.

to answer your ?, i use bfg d/r's on a set of weld prostars, and i dont think im at the stage to upgrade my injectors and fuel pump with only a cold air intake, t/b and x pipe...ill save that untill i get around to getting a smaller s/c pulley
