I just recently put on a Bassani X pipe with cats (already had Flowmaster catbacks) and it sound so much deeper and meaner. I can also tell a difference throughout the entire RPM range.

Yeah, you can smell a car without cats (especially one with a big V8) from pretty far away. It's bad.

Well a friend of mine got the bassani x-pipe that comes with high-flo cats but they also come with straight pieces of pipes so u can really replace it whenever u want to....but myself i got me an off road upr x pipe and it sounds ****ing great and NO there are no fumes visible from the exhaust unless the car is really cold in which case any car would have visible fumes...but thats just me....it sounds ****ing great though

Any time you free up your exaust it will change the sound you need to know how loud you want to go.

Nice and good price but I just bought a 96 GT and I am gutting the cats and getting a o/r x-pipe I like the smell of a v-8 without cats but that is a good price with highflow cats on a x-pipe.
