Default Less than impressed with bassani

I just installed a bassani exhuast with a bbk o/r x pipe. Is this thing supposed to cackle like a farm truck with 18" glasspacks? It's bad when I let of the gas between gears. At certain rpm's it just has this cackly rattley sound that stinks.

I've heard a few Bassani setups before, and they seem to have a rather crackley/poppy sound.

Well after listening to some clips on YouTube it apparently isn't unique to my car. The sounding like crap part I mean. I'll probably slap this on craigslist and buy a magnaflow setup.

Yesterday I repacked the tips with fiberglass thinking it might take some of the cackle out but it didn't.

If anyone lives near swmo and wants this thing x pipe and all come and buy it.

It is your O/R X pipe. Put stock H pipe back or or buy a Catted H-pipe.

I have a full Bassani exhaust...I'm pretty sure its far from the "farm truck" sound. I'm buy a bassani catted mid-pipe.
