Bassani or Dr. Gas 3" Pipes are good and sound great IMO.

bassani is over priced... either BBK or dr.gas..

bassani does make good stuff but in the long run they all pretty much do the same thing...

I agree that an X-pipe just another part of the exhaust system, but have you ever heard a Full Bassani system? [Eek!] Talk about head turner.. as you drive by, peoples head turn from the sound, ask you on stoplights what you got, etc. Hear a full BBK system, then a Bassani and post what you think.
In 5.0 mag, the bassani real street muffs gave +2 Dyno Hp in themselves, again THEY DO THE SAME THING, but you get what you pay for. [burnout]

I have the BBK set up and I am getting rid of it for a Dr.Gas. I heard performance and sound is better. I would suggest go with Dr.Gas!

Yeah Dr Gas i heard is pretty good. Don't you have to build the piping though or can you get one already built?

It does have to be welding, this is the great thing ever, the pieces slide together sooooo easy, you can accually just clamp them if you want, but don't have it welded and then it fits absolutly PERFECT. I think its a great x pipe, and take a look at the really really fast cars running x pipes, from what I have seen more often then not its Dr. Gas. [patriot]
