go route #2. So you will still have an o/r x and you should pocket some money cause upr o/r x are dirt cheap and bassani o/r x are more expensive.
but for me personally, i love the bassani o/r x + stinger set up. Makes me get hard just thinking about it.
I know the x-pipe has alot to do with the way the mufflers sound. I had a BBK o/r x-pipe on my 98 cobra with bassani catback. I didnt like it at all. I put my origional catback back on and kept the bassani laying in the corner of the garage. When I got my 04 cobra I did a SRA and used the bassani catback with UPR o/r x-pipe and it sounded good I thought.

Seems to be the common consensus around here but some love that bassani o/r x and stingers sound.
Guess with the bolt-in bassani cats, you get the best of both worlds. You can run o/r if you wanna be obnoxious or put the cats in to be tolerable and knock out the rasp.
I want to see what happens when i put the stingers in my bassani piping and run the baffles in the tips with the o/r x...
Go to a local mustang meet and listen to different cars. Which ever Cobra sounds the best, ask that guy what exhaust combo he has. That is the only way you will be happy with your exhaust combo. Everyone on here has a different opinion on what sounds good and you can't base your decision on what other people think. Don't blow your money trying out different combos until you know what you want.
I say full Bassani.
Here is a vid of o/r xpipe and catback. It sounds soo mean and snarly! Im getting my o/r xpipe in the mail soon, ill post my actual vid when i can

Good advice. Ill have to do that! :beer:
And a few people have posted on this thread saying they like the bassani o/r x and stingers sound the best. Some love that obnoxious loud and raspy sound. I dont hate it, just too much to handle all the time.
I too am a fan of chambered mufflers. Dont care for flowmaster much. I think they are overrated but i like the mac muffs. Im an X pipe fan though over H...
I had the same mentality as you when I got my Cobra. I didn't want to get Flowmaster because everyone on here said they were crap. I decided to get Bassani o/r X and catback because everyone said that combo sounded good. I hated the sound of it and wanted that chambered sound that people associate with Mustangs. A couple of months later I switched to a UPR o/r X and welded in some Mac mufflers.
Everytime I hear a Mustangs in person or on a video with FM's it sounds damn good. If I ever need to replace the Mac's I'll probably just get the super 44's because they sound very close to Mac. Get what YOU think sounds good.
You should probably just sell your stingers to me and find another catback. lol
I didn't like the raspy sound either (reminded me of my first car with headers and glass packs) so I kept my Bassani, sold my stingers, and bought the quieter Borla catback with the oval mufflers.:beer:
Now having said that, I'm getting ready to install MAC longtubes and a MAC catted H-pipe in order to further reduce the restrictions in the exaust. The stock headers don't do well with 20+ pounds of boost...:nonono:
Why not try catting your Bassani X then run stingers? Its louder than the Bassani Catback and cleans up the rasp. I know, because I just had both setups. Done.
I'll prob cat it with stingers to try it out? Having both, are you happier with the bassani?
Extremely. Since it's a dd. Having said that and knowing yours is a weekend car, if it were me, I would have a catted bassani x and stingers. Sounds GREAT but too much for everyday.
