Default Which of these 2 longtubes??

My buddy with a 06 gt is going to be ordering longtubes soon. He has narrowed it down between Bassani or Borla. I know nothing about the 2. So can you guys please tell me which 1 is better and why? *Please only give feedback on the two*

1. Borla

2. Bassani

i would say bassani, since i am assuming this is borla's first time making longtubes(never seen any before by them) and bassani is a proven name in headers as well as catbacks, x pipes etc... i know borla makes a good, quality product but i would choose bassani, even though they are kind of expensive.

Now the other option is to go with ceramic coated or stainless steel?

Borla has been in the industry for over 30 years and I know the fitment is great....if you are spending 1200 for headers and midpipe, get ARH or Kooks....they are the top of the line and the fitment and gains are fantastic with them......never have I heard anything bad from either. I got my ARH waiting to be installed right now.

I have kooks, love them, they are actually mid-tubes, shorter than these you presented. Haven't heard than getting longer than that will do any better. The thing with the kooks is the clearance they have, look like stock on the ground.

Want to hear, catted long tube kooks with mid pypes? here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_Ftc82mT7I

About 1 5/8 or 3/4? for me, depends, if SC it is in your future then the bigger ones, if not stay with 1 5/8.
