First off, you cannot buy these yet nor should you call Bassani. They do not have a time frame yet so don't ask. My best guestimate is 1-2 months as they will need to produce the legs (see comment below).
Just picked my car up from Bassani today. My car was the guinea pig to test fit the 03 mid length headers. Unfortunately, I cannot post pictures as the set that went on my car were not the perfecly finished set you guys will be getting and they asked me not to. Comments-
Plan on having some time to install these. You do not have to remove the K member. Each tube goes in individually and mounts to the collector. I am guessing it will take about 8 hours to install.
They are going to make legs to hook up from header to your Bassani X pipe.
I gave them some 4.6/5.4 Stage 8 header bolts to bolt them in and the bolts did not work. The bolts started stripping the head so the techs stopped immediately and gave them back to me.
I have been running my Bassani Cat back with Baffles in. I pulled them out prior to firing up car. Lets just say if you want a quiet factory type exhaust this isn't for you. Definitely has the muscle car tones to it.
With the mods below minus the headers I had decent power but no spinning the tires at WOT. Now, I am easilly spinning (not chirping) the tires in 1st and 2nd.
I plan on taking car to the dyno within the next week. I wasn't able to dyno it just prior. With Bassani X pipe, Bassani Cat back and K&N filter minus silencer car was at 398 SAE RWHP. I have since added Densecharger and Headers. I am hoping/guessing for 440 SAE RWHP.
My goal is to get to 500 RWHP with this set up plus pulley,chip, and throttle body.
If I can find a camcorder to borrow I will post the exhaust sound files.
