From what I've heard on cars basically an O/R X-pipe with almost any cat-back sounds great. Almost all ehxuast set up's just involving X-pipe/H-pipe+Cat-Back are going to gain about the same power.

By far, Bassani catted x-pipe, and Bassani catback sound the best. There are louder systems and there are quieter systems, but nothing sounds better IMHO....good luck!

not all catbacks sound the same... Ive heard 2chambered flowmasters vs borla stingers on stock H, and the flowmasters didnt sound good at all, not compared to the borlas. The borlas had a deep menacing tone, while the flowmasters sounded hollow... The bassanis sound very good as well... I guess im more partial to the straight through muffled sound.

I love the way my stock H sounds with the Borla Stingers. I get a lot of compliments on the sound, deep low rumble, great at idle, startup, or WOT

I agree, I heard this combo AFTER my stinger purchase and it sounds wicked... I am in the process of figuring out how to swap my stinger mufflers out with Magnapacks and throw an o/r H on there. Had this combo on my last car and to date is the most wicked sound I've ever heard or wanted. I agree with most, almost any catback setup sounds good on these cars. I think the rule of thumb of chambered paired with H's and straight throughs with X's does apply for sound quality.

I liked mine okay, and when I added the Headers.... WHOA MAN! Sounds EVEN BETTER!

Shit... I'd do it all over again just for the sound!

Complete Bassani here, heads to tails. Great sound. What I like is that you can feather it around the "Law" so as not to attract too much attention.!

Ive heard the Bassani head to tail and it does sound
insane ,alittle too much for me. Then my buddy gave me a ride
with hid Mag C/X and Steeda C/B . No drone and when you get on
it you know its there, I was sold.
