Exclamation Bassani Headers ?

what do you guys think about mid-length headers was wondering if anyone has ever used these and if there and good at all or are they trash like the shoty's, i kno long tubes are the best ones to go with but i can get some mid length for pretty cheap... thanks any input would b great...

I don't have them but I have a friend who does and he loves them. The fit and finish is appearently as good as all their other products and I also heard that it makes servicing the clutch/transmission much easier unlike if you had longtubes. I heard installing them is much easier too because of the separately pieced primaries. I would get it if I could but since I live in CA, I don't think it is worth it at this point to risk getting a state ref ticket for it

I have Bassani mid lengths and the fit is good.I seemed to lose a little down low after the install on my "hill" dyno but they didn't leak.
The install wasn't any easier as far as getting the old manifolds off and the K member had to come off.I started the installation myself and gave up and had the car towed to the local dealer to finish.It took them six hours with three techs to finish the job.They only charged me for two of the techs though.The final bill was a little over $600.

Knowing what I know now I would have went with a stainless steel set of LT's since the ceramic coated mid-lengths are rusting.It's only a matter of time until there's a hole in them and they'll need to be replaced.

If you can get them for a great price, then go for it. If it's not an awesome deal, then i would do long tubes...period!

Have them....Love them....Pricey for the entire exhaust though. They are pretty close in length to long tubes as well.
