Default Bassani Catback!

Yay so I finally got my Bassani catback installed. Not sure if it was just my luck.. but it was a total pain to get everything straight while keeping it from sagging.
Anyways, after lots of tedious work, it's finally on. Looks great, sounds great, but it's nowhere near loud enough. At least for me..

Oh well I guess I'm ordering an o/r X tomorrow lol. and the burning smell was delicious.. thanks Bassani =/

$425 bucks shipped to the local shop
Very minor idle drone, could barely hear it over the engine noise
Was a pain to put on, but fit great in the end
Very happy, other than the lack of being annoying and loud

Give it some more horsepower and it'll be louder

SLP loudmouth was the easiest thing I have ever installed, took 30 minutes. Easy adjustment and you can swap mufflers easly, and yes its loud

Post some clips now and then when you get the off-road x pipe.

how come an x-pipe? x's are more raspyish and h's have a deeper tone..

an offroad pipe will give you loud, not only is it rediculous at WOT but mine drones like hell at idle too. Mine also drones around 2000rpm, gets annoying. I love the sound though, mine wasn't bad to install either. What X pipe are you getting? Some make it VERY raspy.
