I ran a UPR catted X pipe. They are made by Pypes. no issues, sounded great and was 1/2 the price of the manufactures you mentioned.

i have a magnaflow catted x pipe. fits well since i have the magnaflow cb as well. going off road x real soon (upr). if your car has lowering springs be careful since you will hit the cats on speed bumps and stuff like that..other than that great sound.

I have the magnaflow tru-x catted with borla stingers and it sounds great. It has the deep tone, sounds like a mean muscle car.:rockon:

There is a sound board in the Exhaust section you can hear all these midpipes with different catbacks. The Bassani does make a 5-piece modular midpipe that does allow you to switch between catted/non-catted. Its pretty convenient if you like switching between the two.

But of the ones mentioned, I am a fan of the Maggie. It is excellent quality, excellent fitment, and is a true X, and not a chambered X like the Bassani. I can't speak for the SLP, I have never inspected or ran one of their midpipes.

I run the Bassani catted X with Stingers and couldnt be happier,I had Bassani O/R on before and it was way to loud and raspy for me and i hated the low end TQ. loss.

another vote for the Bassani catted X. Great sound, great quality, and the option to convert it easily to an off-road, without buying a whole new mid-pipe, or even removing it!
