Default Borla & Bassini Cat Back Exhuast Systems

Anybody Using These Systems? Any Power Increase? How Loud Are They I Am More Interested in A Good Sound Than A Power boost.

We have the Bassani and it sounds great! We tell people that our cruiser now sounds as mean as it looks! There is noticable increase in performance and we like the looks of the Bassani duals (large pipes with slanted ends) better than the Borlas

I just put my Bassanis on this past weekend. The look (for me) is the biggest improvement. They have baffles in the tailpipes that you can leave in, or take out. Mine are in and it has a deeper, throatier sound without getting on your nerves. Easy to install. The only pain is cutting out the bumper fascia for the passenger side tailpipe. As far as perfomance goes, I would say that it's minimal to barely noticable.

Where did folks buy their Bassani? I've just spent 5 weeks waiting for a dual tip Bassanit to arrive from RaceSearch.Com, just to FINALLY receive word from them that there are supply issues through Bassani. Anyone else run into a 'supply' issue in obtaining a Bassani?
Thanks.

Why not try Race and Street? I hear a lot of great things about them. And great prices too! http://www.raceandstreet.com/

I got my Bassani duals from www.raceandstreet.com in 3 days from order on-line to front door. They have competitive prices, great customer service and quick delivery.

Easy install, nor conflicts with spare tire and great sound. I would highly recommend the Bassani's and raceandstreet.com

HEPCAT, why don't you attend the SHORE THING on October 5 in New Jersey. Race and Street is the major sponsor and you can get your Bassani exhaust installed for no extra cost.! I did just that in Niagara and am very happy with the results. Good luck

Ordered my Bassani duals from Race and Street (got lots of other stuff from them also - BEST prices and shipping, plus VERY friendly and helpful). Took about 2 hours to install (most time spent removing rt side bolt and cutting Xenon rr bumper cover!), but well worth it. Definite seat of pants improvement, plus sound is just right. DO IT!

Looks like I'll try Race and Street, not sure if I can make the Shore Thing event. I had tried for a Bassani while at the Niagra event, but was late to the gate in trying to get one...was 'CAT-napping I guess. Bassanis were all sold out that day!
