You get what you pay for ...but sometimes not..

[Andre]

Hello,

at the moment i am cleaning my truck for the wintersleep. I have to do a break now to show you what makes me really BÖSE !!!

The Bassani Stainless Steel Cat Back is made from a low quality stainless steel at the polished tips. Look at the pic.
1 - They are way to long and look out of the truck.
2 - No way to get them clean, and they are just 4 month old with a few miles.

I tried all, and believe i have some good cleaning / polishing stuff in my garage.

The connections of the Bassani System are not easy to get really closed. I have also to work on this again.

The tips of my cheap Mac Cat Back i had before were made from HIGH quality stainless steel and never have been looking like this.

The whole truck is clean now with some ugly dirty tips!!! :cuss: BASSANI GUYS :cuss:

I know a lot of you like the Bassanin quality - i don´t know why it looks like that on my truck. Maybe it´s because of the extreme heat from long highspeed cruises.... but it shouldn´t happen at good quality steel.

I just spit coke all over my computer laughing at red-light!!! +1 though:xpl:

 

[GOTSVT?]

Thats not acceptable!! I have Magnaflows, and the tips shine nice when clean. I would be emailing those pics to Bassani and demanding a resolution!
PS> I love the autobahn vids of your L !!!!!!!!

Damn .

Maybe your tips have been sandblasted by your long, highspeed runs on the Autobahn:shrug: My Magnaflow tips get dirty, but they haven't gotten chipped up like that.

Maybe I need to drive WOT more often to see what kind of damage the roadway will do to them. LOL.

 

[WizardsCobra]

Hmm that sucks man. Sorry to see that.

Thats comin from the inside of the steel....not an outside problem...

I stand corrected. LOL....from the inside? Well now, that's definitely a problem.

get some metal polish...the kind thats in the tub of cloth and you rub it on, let it set, buff it off. http://www.calcarcover.com/product.aspx?id=763&cid=
This is what I use on my 4" custom SS tips....I had bassani and they did the same thing as yours did Andre but this stuff takes it right off and the shine is unbelievable

Seems like Bassani is hit and miss with QC issues. Some are great and some don't fit like they are supposed to. I think Ron'sbolt's stainless bassani started rusting. That pic just looks like very poor quality stainless to me.

Hey Andre go grab some Autosol, its the best stuff ive ever used, i havent used it on anything it couldnt polish

 

[Grombil.com]

Autosol is good shit! I also use this... Use it with a sponge with plastic "rubbing" on one side... The ones u use in you "cooking hardware"?

 

[svtdvm]

Anyone know why those tailpipes stick out so much? Mine are flush.
If those are pits, obviously no polish will help. That's is totally unacceptable.

 

[Andre]

No polish will help here....

It´s coming from the inside of the steel...

I will contact BASSANI.

Here are my custom made 4" SS tips flush mount. I got in a wreck and my tips got mangled pretty good so i had a local shop do me some custom tips at the same 45 degree angle as the Bassani. They are turned down 15 degrees. Look great and are of a better SS than the Bassani IMOP.

 

[Bootie]

I will contact BASSANI.

You may have to call them Andre. Last time I emailed them, their mailbox was full and it got returned.

i think what Andre is pissed about,is the fact that we have to pay ,shipping,import duty,and VAT
it works out 2x what you guys pay in the USA

if it happened to me i would be :cuss: :cuss:

 

[Bootie]

no matter what price, I want my stuff to look clean and be defect free.
