Is a retune needed for an X-pipe??

[WikedCobra]

If I installed a Bassani catted X pipe, would I need to retune my car? I don't think I would, but I just wanted to check.

Also, if I'm buying a used Bassani catted X pipe, how do I tell if it's the stainless steel version?

Thanks.

No you don't need a tune. Stainless is nice and shiney.

As RedfireSVT wrote, it will be shiny. You will now right away if it is stainless. That is why they cost an additional $200.00.

Does this look like the SS version?

Let me get my magnifying glass....

It looks shiney in spots...it might be.

Thanks for the comments. I know it was hard to tell from the pictures, this x pipe is stainless. Several people have told me that stainless becomes a nice golden color when it heats up.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Aluminized also turns that color epically where it comes off of the exhaust manifolds. That is Aluminized .100% positive that is not polished. If it is polished then it must have been been underwater for (5) years or something.

Thanks for your comments, but it IS the stainless version. :beer:

It might be but in the small picture it looks aluminized. I have seen a polished SS before and they are crazy shiny!

 

[WikedCobra]

Thanks. I'm also looking forward to seeing your car. Silver cars are the best. :beer:

My X pipe was nice and shiny when installed and is now a nice golden color now, but a magnet will grab it? Why? I bought them NIB from MagnaFlow? I hope someone didn't swap it with a POS when I had the rotors swapped. I hate leaving my car anywhere!!!

My Magnaflow cat-back polished and it is the same exact color it was when I purchased it over a year ago. Polished does not turn aluminized, parts of the polish metal turns colors due to heat. My cat-back has not! Colors can be green-blue but not rusty dull aluminized color. The metal/finish must be years old and was exposed and was exposed lot of water.
