Author Topic: X-pipe- with or without cats? KCmustangboy ¯ Member # 1927 posted                              What is the difference in x-pipe with or without cats. are the ones with cats quieter. I want to get a bassani xpipe but want it loud and I am worried if I get the one with cats it will be too quite? is there a big difference? -------------------- 03 Cobra...

I have heard a bassani X w/ cats and i dont think its loud enough. I would definetly recomend getting the X with out cats, installation is strait forward and just takes time. -Robert Posts: 314 | From: sj | Registered: Dec 2003  |  : BUCK_FIFTY ¯ Member # 728 posted                              The catted bassani x-pipes sound totally stock if you have dynomax turbo mufflers or similar. I would get a bassani with no cats since the catted ones don't pass the visual smog inspections, plus you get that mean sound. -------------------- "Funny how cheap ass people have money to do it right the second time, haha!"

I've got Flows and they sound great with no cats. One thing is, you're gonna smell your exhaust fumes big time! Hope that helps. -------------------- 2003 Cobra (596 rwhp) = #3956 of 8394 = AED Tuned Posts: 95 | From: East Bay | Registered: Aug 2002  |  : 1WICKEDmach ¯ Member # 4060 posted                              No cats is the only way to go. -------------------- RACETUNE 2003 Torch Red Mach 1 Maximum Motorsports Suspension, Exhaust, 4:10's 12.9@105mph 1.88 60ft Posts: 302 | Registered: Jan 2004  |  : 92stangLX ¯ Member # 3252 posted                              Huge difference in sound. The one w/o cats is way loud especially when you rev it. Get the one w/o cats and hang your stock H-pipe in the garage for smog tim Posts: 5302 | From: San Francisco | Registered: Sep 2003  |  : KCmustangboy ¯ Member # 1927 posted                              No cats it is I am going to have bassani headers, off road x and a catback all done at the same time I think I will REALLy like the change. -------------------- 03 Cobra...
