Maganflow vs. Bassani

[torched04]

Which cat back do you guys think would sound better? A maganflow or bassani? I want to find one with straight cut tips but haven't had much luck. I've been told that the maganflow has them but I can't tell from the pics I've seen. Thanks

Magnaflow sucks. Of those two, go with the Bassani but be ready to pay for it.

[torched04]

Which catback kicks ass then? I wanna have a deeeeeep mean and clean sound without using flowmasters. Pretty much every GT I encounter has flows.

[TheJeanyus]

Borla Stingers. :yup:

[QWKSNKE]

yeah the Borla Stingers sound good but be prepared to wake the dead when cruising by cemetaries

I have Magnaflow and am very pleased. However, that being said, if I had to do it over again, would go with Bassani. You can save some $$ by opting for their BX version over the stainless steel. No salted roads due to ice and snow down south, so the SS might be considered overkill....

The Maggies sound great, but the Bassani, to me, has a more "aggressive" tone. Both are very deep.....

Just my $0.02, fwiw

:evil: :yup: It's not as loud in the car as you'd think, though, after hearing it from outside. I never realized how loud my car was outside until I watched someone else drive it down the drag strip.

Thanks for the input. Borla it is. Which of these two are the stingers? I'm guessing the one on the left marked aggressive?

I've yet to hear a Mustang I thought sounded better than a setup with MAC Pro-Chamber and Flowpaths. It still has a chambered muffler sound but at a totally different tone than the Flowmasters.

[torched04]

Flowpaths are made by MAC correct? Also, do any of you guys think that using an O/R prochamber instead of an X pipe with those bullet type Borla "S" stinger mufflers will make the exhaust pop or raspy? I had that problem when I had the prochamber installed with the one chamber flows that I used to have. The one chambers sounded really good with the stock H, but when the prochamber was put on, it sounded like ass. I just don't wanna spend $600 and it sound like a truck with glasspacks.

having seen all types of exhaust.i will say that just yesaterday i had a customer with a supercharged 04 gt come in with a complete bassani exhaust on his car.his main complaint was that it was too loud and too raspy.so i changed the mufflers out for some 18" magnaflows and the car sounded great.at idle it is fairly quiet and at cruising speeds it is very quiet but when you mash the gas it gets loud.also the fit of the bassani cat back is horrible in my opinion...on more than one occasion i have had to cut up and repair a bassani cat back because it either hung too low or was hitting the underside of the car somewhere


just my opinion :D

My car pops and crackles on decelleration, but it's not raspy at all. I have a ProChamber and Stingers.

The Stinger catback is the catback that uses Borla's XR-1 race mufflers.

[torched04]

I was searching around the Borla site and I saw the XR-1s, but they were just weld ins and not a full catback. Am I looking in the wrong place? Thanks to everyone for the help and input.

[Scothew]

I wouldnt trade my magnaflows for anything.

[DSkeet]

In the future I want Borla.

:nice:

[mustang1549]

i have a vrs xpipe and magnaflows and love the way it sounds. has the nice deep sound that i was looking for. at idle not much louder than stock but when driving very loud.

[The Rock 326]

Mannaflow X-Pipe, and cat-back.

I had the ProChamber, and Flowpaths, and I like it, but the new set up sounds more refined.
