i have a bassani offroad xpipe with a bassani cobra catback with bassani street competition mufflers. the thing SCREAMS throughout the rpms! u can get a bassani o/r xpipe for like $150-200, and the catback you can get from www.houstonperformance.com for $598 shipped. you wont be dissappointed with the sound and the POWER!

I have Bassani high flow Xpipes and it sounds awesome. I'm about to add the Steeda Catback soon, but I highly recommend Bassani, but it is pricey.

 

[bouncer18]

Steeda catback isnt to bad.. since its made by Borla

but ya Bassani X pipes own

 

[therunyan]

$.02 in favor of the Magnaflow X and Cat-back. Stainless end to end, mandrel bent, fully adjustable cannons, great sound, and about $375 for the cat-back, a bit less for the X pipe.

News to me. :lol:

One more for Bassani here, the quality is excellent and sound is great also. It's definately between Bassani and Magnaflow though! IMO

Is that Glendale Calif. I dont think mechanics are allowed to take off the cats in this state, so I would just get a great catback. If drone isnt an issue for you, Magnaflow is a great deal.

i think the exceptions to this are unless they're damaged, no longer functional, or over ~75,000 miles

there's always a loophole :thumbsup:

step 1: raise car
step 2: pick up sledge hammer
step 3: . . . . . you can figure this out. . .
step 4: use a file to make scraped gouges to make it look like you scraped on a bump
step 5: install shortie headers (CARB legal in CA)
step 6: install H-pipe (with or without cats) usually both - w/cats to pass emissions next time

are you kidding me....? 150-200 bucks? you cant get them for that new. you are lucky to find offroad bassani x for 150 bucks used... i know for fact high flow cat is cheapest ive seen is 440 shipped. and cheapest ive seen offroad one is like 300shipped. maybe could find someone to beat it by 25 bucks or so but certainly not a 100!

 

[01BlackSnake]

I vote for an O/R H pipe with a mac or flowmaster catback. Also, flowtech I heard has a good sound.

(bah! to all you X pipers )

well, then, give up the info! :beer:

 

[NastyWS6]

I would go with Bassani

 

[Mach0ne351]

well, u just got to keep ur eyes open on all the forums, especially this one.....and svtoa.com. i got mine there, brand new, never used, $187shipped. i do agree that u will never find a distributor that will sell a bassani o/r x pipe for less then $250, but just keep ur eyes open, and youll find one within a week or two.

[99cobrajms]

Full Bassani here ( Xpipe and QTs) with Cats...Baffles out is my preference.

JMS

 

[99SVTcobraVERT]

you got a STEAL from private individual, which means they cant be had for 187 shipped all the time. i have found all kinds of things for steals but they are once in blue moon type. granted internet is wonderful thing but dont go filling someone's head with info that they cant use. because if he goes looking for new bassani off road x for 150-200 bucks he will be laughed out of town and/or branded a low baller.

 

[Mach0ne351]

here....check this out...just say ur part of Cafords.com and get a good discount. $209 for a o/r xpipe

notice the qty: of 1 and only on his in stock items because most likely they have been sitting there for quite sometime and he has to move them. and THEN how much is shipping for an x pipe... not cheap... at least 30-40 if not more... when i shipped my old bbk offroad X to TX just for the size of it more than weight it cost me 60bucks. so add that just 40 and you are back at 250. like i said once in blue moon but NEVER all day every day for 150-200 bucks total cost....
