Muffler shops do sell "X" sections that can be welded in, but this would basically mean a custom built exhaust that will cost you as much as a bassani for a lower quality pipe that may have the "X" welded in the wrong area. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>msj484</b> <br /><small>Member # 1341</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,1,12,10,22,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> thankx, but should i got catted or uncatted? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Venms1</b> <br /><small>Member # 2284</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,1,13,8,56,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Go catted! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>msj484</b> <br /><small>Member # 1341</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,1,13,10,26,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> why should i got catted? should i get bassani? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>91sleeper</b> <br /><small>Member # 779</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,1,13,10,48,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by msj484:<br /><strong>why should i got catted? should i get bassani?</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">If you get a catted one it will be a little more restrictive and a little quieter but at the same time you will be able to pass smog <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> .<br /><br />If you go uncatted it will be more free flowing resulting in more horsepower <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> but unfortunetley you will not be able to pass smog so every two years you would have to switch it out to pass smog which is very hard to do but is a pain whne the time comes around <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" /> . <br /><br />If you have the extra money go catted.
