I couldn't resist temptation any more, so I bought the Borla catback system (#14858) yesterday. It sounds great, but the car is still way too quiet -- plus I'm interested in the extra ~15 rwhp from an X-pipe system.
So I'm looking at the Bassani prices of ~$600 vs. $420 that BBK quoted me for their X-pipe. I know the BBK system is not stainless, but why would I care? I'm not going to spend a lot of time looking at my X-pipe. Unless there is some quality issue, I think aluminum is fine. Also, BBK quotes 17 rwhp gain with their X-pipe (with stock catback), so I'm guessing I'm looking at around 20-25 rwhp gain including my catback.
Any thoughts or anyone with experience with BBK X-pipe? (I'm thinking of doing the version with hi-flow cats as opposed to offroad -- that's the one they quoted the dyno numbers for.)
Also, any alternatives I should be considering other than BBK and Bassani?
