wow Bassani do sound great i listened a ton of clips cant complain about one but there are so many to chose from from the looks of it and i would like a catback because from what i hear later with other mods which i do plan to get it is better for power and the car. Can anyone give me a more exact better explanation?

i think it's illegal to have an exhaust above 92 decibels but what cop is really going to measure the sound level. "Go for broke and just watch out for cops" is my opinion. but yeah you need factory CATS in the state of CA for it to be legal for smog but it's not that had to change out the cats if you go long tube headers.

Like others have said, it sucks that they are such ***** about it; I would love to have long tubes and a catless H myself. Actually, I thought long and hard about it but the fines are ridiculous (like $10,000) and they can take your freakin' car for cat violations! Not worth it IMHO.
