I'm getting a game plan down as to things I'm gonna do for my car when it gets here, so it doesnt hurt to do a little research ahead of time as I've been doing for some time now. For a long time, I've been a fan of the H midpipe and thought it sounded the best overall. I still like it, dont get me wrong ( or the prochamber) but I've been talking to some of the guys over on svtp and some say that their H's drone too much or have a really loud pop to their combo. I like a lil pop on decel, but not deafening. I'm gonna stay catted cuz its gonna be loud enough for me.

So, I've come down to either the Bassani catted X or the Steeda catted X. I'm putting a couple of soundclips of each... sorry the Steeda Catted X is so quick, its the only one I could find.

Bassani
Bassani catted X, Steeda catback

Good-- Sounds great, stainless steel
Good-- Can change to O/R pretty easily if I ever do change my mind
Good-- Compliments the Steeda catback well
Good-- Can use the Bassani midlengths later if I decide on them
Bad---- Pretty costly

Steeda
Steeda catted X, Steeda catback

Good-- Sounds good, maybe a tad quieter than Bassani... but nice and deep
Good-- Stainless steel
Bad---- Costs quite a bit too, and wouldnt match up with the Bassani midlengths later without some tinkering


So which do you think is a better buy? I'm realy on the fence at this point. Do you think that this sound is too exotic as some have described it? It still sounds pretty deep to me.

they both sound great but from all the clips ive heard from the 4v's i like them with the mac catback and a x-pipe.

Anyone else got an opinion on this?

If you're definitely going with the bassani mid lengths then get the bassani pipe. Plus you can always switch to o/r. Sound wise I doubt there is any difference between the two with cats. What is the price difference between the two?

The real sound comes from the cat back. What are you going to run for that?

This is for an 03/04 cobra? Go with the bassani X and MAC catback!

Well its already got the Steeda catback on it. Thats why I was tryin to find clips of the bassani x and steeda x with the steeda catback. I agree the mac sounds great with it, but for now its gonna be used with the Steeda cb.

Prices from Lethal Performance are as follows...

Bassani catted X-------- $560
Steeda catted X--------- $450

And yes, this would be for an 04 Cobra.

I don't know how much of a difference there is between the output of a 4v and a 2v, but i love the sound of my bassani x with the bassani cat back. If i was going to go for the mid lengths by bassani, i would prob go with their x then. Just seems to make the most sense and be the easiest transition.

i love my bassani setup. it really is high quality and i 110% happy i bought it. I cant wait to get the borla stingers on and unleash the beast

Hey M1ke, did you have the original x-pipe and modify it to your headers? Did you take off the legs in front of the cats to make it work?
