ok so for like 30-40 bucks more you can have much better designed x pipe that will fit your car better, sound better, and will make more power.

And is made of aluminized pipe vs stainless

I understand you like the Dr gas but I doubt it is so good that you guarantee it will sound better and make more power

Wow. Reaching a bit with those claims, aren't we?

Bassani is some of the best fitting exhaust around.

Bassani stainless stuff is nicer than aluminized steel.

They will all make about the same power.

well i can say from experience about midpipes as ive had 3 on my car. the first one was a bassani catted x, then the jegs o/r x and now the dr. gas x. the dr gas fits the best for the simple fact it is custom fit for my car. the bassani unit fit well and it was stainless which was nice. power between the 3 was close, the dr. gas feels stronger than the jegs but i have many more mods than i did when the bassani was on. but hey dont take my word for it.

I can get a new Bassani catted X for $380, not too bad.


Paul, I hate to argue with you but my Bassani cat-back fits like total garbage, however the midpipes might be a different story.

if you got the dr. gas and put the cats on it you would be around 300-320 max. still 60-80 dollars cheaper. fwiw i had a bassani piece on my car and i had fitment issues with it too. the only good thing about it was that it was stainless steel. not downing bassani cause they make some nice exhaust pieces and they are damn proud of them too for what they cost.

Venom351R your car does sound really good man, gotta say it's cause you have cats though, otherwise it would be really raspy with those mufflers. You can have a chambered muffler that sounds good, it's all personal preference though.

Magnapacks are straight through bullet style mufflers, there isn't much to them.
