need some help... I recently got a 2008 GT500 that came with Bassani axle baxks.. I believe they are race mufflers. They sound pretty good when you get on it, however the cabin drone is crazy!! Can anyone suggest what I should do aside from just getting rid of them. If I do have to ditch them, which ones would eveyone recommend I get??

They are real loud. Jim had them on his and got rid of them ASAP. A friend of mine put them on his car with long tubes and its real loud. I have another guy I know who just put them on his turbo car. They are not to bad as long as the stock cats stay on in my opinion. When it gets opened up with a OR pipe it gets real loud.

You won't really get the "same" note...ever. Been through 10+ axle backs at this point.

Closest I've gotten is this combo:

Magnaflow Catted X w/stock manifolds
Roush Extreme Offroad Tailpipes (resonators before the axle)
FRPP M5230-S/ GT500KR axle back mufflers

Those 3 pieces used together sounds a lot like an 03/4 overall.

ZERO drone at cruise in 5th or 6th gear; but it is LOUD outside and loud when you get into it. Very unique tone though.

Sounds a bit like my '04 with Maggie catted X and Bassani CB.

I think I hit gold with my new set-up (Kooks + Custom Mac's):beer: They have a deeper flow master (fox) type of tone. All I saw was heads turning, just cruising around town the other night....

They sound sweet as hell at WOT!

I just need to shoot some vids.....Was running solo over the weekend....:nonono:

IMO- These clips don't do this set-up justice.......

Please post up sound clips of whatever you end up with. I'm running the lethal offroad x and stock cat backs and am looking for something with a much deeper sound. My 5Gt's with the offroad were way too loud.

My bassani's never let me down as far as deep sounding goes, Ive had them on with the stock X, offroad x, and now my long tubes

3500rpm shift points; part throttle only. No boost.
